If I say what I truly think I'll get banned.
Am I supposed to feel pity for this vermin? Cry me a river, you @#%$*#!, they let this scum off too easy.
You nailed it. All I can say is boo-f***ing-hoo for these sleezebags. If they needed to get laid so badly, there are a wide choice of cathouses to service their needs for half a day's pay within a short drive of their base. When they picked on a little 12 year old on her way home from school, they should have been castarated in my book. Serious damage was done to the reputation of this country and the military because these three dirtbags were too cheap to pony up for a professional.
Yeah, he should have been in prison for life. Soldiers like him should be beaten savagely for the disgrace they bring to the men doing their jobs everyday for the rest of us, and for the lack of trust they foster in the Okinawa public.
---Harp was a 22-year-old Marine private first class when sentenced in March 1996 with Pfc. Kendrick Ledet, 21, and Navy Seaman Marcus Gill, 23, a medic, for raping a 12-year-old girl they abducted from a street corner in Kin village, just outside Camp Hansen. The incident occurred on Labor Day 1995.---
I'm sure their are quite a few people that would happily beat these three clowns to death.
---Michael Griffith, a New York-based lawyer who specializes in defending Americans overseas---
Should find another ambulance to chase.
They should be making gravel out of mountains. When they get through with Mt. Everest, they can get out.
SOB can cry me a river, he's lucky he wasn't smashing rocks at Leavenworth. Oh...Put him in the quiet room, make him sit in the comfy chair. Asshat.
Bring on the CHILL BOX, baby!
The fellow got sentenced and served his time. I agree with you that he is a whining SOB.
However!
Let's save most of our anger and outrage for the ambulance chasing attorney who specializes in these sorts of cases. My guess is that Hart didn't try to find an attorney; I'll bet the scum was waiting for him the minute he set foot back on American soil.
I guess the prisons in Japan don't provide gyms, law libraries, and entertainment the way ours do in the U.S. Maybe we should adopt their way of handling criminals.
Michael Griffith, Esq. be happy that I'm not in charge. Mr. Harp would be dropped naked in the tundra during mosquito season somewhere in the vicinity of migrating polar bears after a long winter. Live like a barbarian...die like a barbarian.
Perhaps this guy would like to compare his treatment to that received by our WWII POWs, who suffered horribly at the hands of the Japanese. Let's see--he raped a 12 year odl girl and only received a 7-year sentence, then complains because he had to work? Give me a break. You'll note that the story makes no mention as to what Mr. Harp is doing now. Very little, I'd say, and I'll bet he's still on the government's dime, as a welfare recipient. BTW, I wonder if he had to register as a sex offender after returning to the states. There ought to be a sign in his front yard, reminding everyone what he did to that little girl....
(And that was directed toward the rare individual I would refer to as an "ex-Marine", not you).
He was the lawyer for Ted Maher in the Edmond Safra murder.
Oh boohoo....Hard labor should mean breaking rocks 10 hours a day, not sitting on your behind putting phones together!!!
Why is this scumbag still allowed to breathe?
He should have been turned over to the vicitms family...and let them take care of him anyway they saw fit...
Why bring him back to the USA....like we need the likes of him here...
Well, for seven years at least, these scum were not here in the US commiting crimes.
Awww . . . I'd like to buy some of those products. The reason crime is so high in this country is because 'rats like to mollycoddle criminals.
