Outrage in Japan as U.S. Marine veteran arrested in connection with death of woman on Okinawa
The Washington Post ^ | May 20, 2016 | Michael E. Miller

Japanese leaders reacted with outrage after a U.S. Marine veteran was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of a Japanese woman near a U.S. air base on the island of Okinawa.

Kenneth Franklin Gadson, a 32-year-old civilian contractor at Kadena Air Base, admitted to strangling the woman, his defense attorney told Stars and Stripes — though the attorney questioned the condition under the which the admission was made.

Rina Shimabukuro had been missing since last month. The 20-year-old’s body was discovered in a wooded location Thursday after Gadson told investigators where to look, according to the Associated Press.

I was in Okinawa for 2-3 months in 2013 and at that time there was a Rape incident and we all had to endure Curfew and Liquor restriction the entire time, though we did not follow always and had to be careful.

Japanese prisons are a world apart from anything in the USA.

No air conditioning, no heat, no TV...

This has been going on since late 1945, always a bad apple somewhere.

Throw the book at him.

He makes a confession in a haze but knows where the body is? Some haze.

Sure enough, one of Obama’s sons, who is rightfully enraged that his ancestors were once forced to pick cotton for the Japanese. Payback’s a b***h! /s

Japanese prison:

Cannot lie down during day.

Cannot peer outside through windows.

No talking during meals.

Intra-building walk is always performd en-group, requires robotic marching, swinging arms straight up, parallel to ground, a-la North Korea, or maybe Republican Guard marching.

A trillion very exacting rules, all of which ARE enforced, they fill a 50-page booklet. Prisoner booklet knowledge is tested.

Most gaijin go to Fuchu, outside of Tokyo.

TOTALLY SUCKS.

If they hang you, they don’t have to tell your family and will even lie about it, though they do eventually find out. There are 3 buttons, one each for 3 guards, one of the buttons opens a trap door.

NO faggy “humane” lethal injections in Japan, none.

Ah!

The condemned is only told they day of his execution on THAT morning, ergo all condemned spend each day wondering if he’ll die the next day.

Many go nuts.
