A Japanese court has found a U.S. Marine guilty of sexually assaulting a woman on Okinawa, sentencing him to prison terms, in a case that has triggered anger and safety concerns on Japan’s southern island with a heavy American troop presence
At last. US military personnel have been raping Japanese women for decades.
Christ, I didn’t know about that. The end of the article lists a couple more harrowing incidents for those looking for more info.
It’s like every day I learn some new thing that makes me hate the US. (I’m american.) Three marines raped a fucking 12 year old? They should’ve been executed. Fuck the US. Okinawa belongs to Japan—FUCK the US military and each and every service member. Disgusting subhuman pigs.
As an Okinawan, “belongs to Japan” isn’t something we want to hear tbh.

It’s shameful that this is anything but obvious, but about fucking time.
Japanese prisons are not a good time
Asian prisons in general are not forgiving to inmates from the same country, imagine being a lone foreigner there. He’s fucked
He should have thought about that before raping someone.
That being said, I’m not in favor of non-rehabilitory prisons in general. I prefer the Nordic model for prisons, whers they’re isolated from society, but still treated like people.
Some assholes don’t even deserve that. At least rapists and murderers deserve whatever they get imo
Don’t expect people to respect the sanctity of your body if you won’t do same for others.
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.
Not if retribution is purely transactional. It’s not like rape can be accidental, nor premeditated murder.

Yeah, my bad for not including that in the original comment, but that’s what I meant
20 years ago - I was stationed in Korea, and a soldier was convicted and put in a Korean prison for attempted murder. He got into an argument and stabbed a Korean man in the neck.
I’d rather be sent to Leavenworth.
Hope he rots. He deserves a way worse imo.
Ofc the Rapist-in-Chief here in the US will “pardon” him and try to get him out of trouble. Wouldn’t doubt if he gets a job offer…
I interpret for the Okinawan prosecutor’s office and while I didn’t have to deal with this case, I’ve interpreted for an Airman who raped a 16 year old. It’s so difficult to remain neutral in situations like these.
