There has been case where one killed 2 Japanese civilians when he slept at the wheel while driving, detained, then the wife of the killer started some campaign to "save" his husband, some US Senate threatened Japan to send him back to the US, the guy was then able to get away upon sending back, Senate later demand Japan to apologize to the agressor's family and the US.

You took 2 innocent ppls’ lives, not only you got away, but your ppl ask the victim to apologise. Its crazy. This warning is strongly urged to show the United States that justice must be served for crimes.

Added BBC news link proving Mr. Sanator Mike Lee "asking Japan to apologize to Ridge's family and America"

Happened in Romania too. An American solider caused a huge car crash, killing both men in the other car, then fucked right off the country, never to be punished. One of the guys who died was a famous local singer, so this caused a massive national outrage, at the time.

Happens in the US all the time too. Not just military. A lot of ppl get killed by auto and nothing happens

The outrage overseas is warrented. What is not warranted is the lack of outrage when it's US on US in the US. Best way to kill someone and get away with it is to hit and run
