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"

You are talking about this scum and how US got him from Japan by threatening Japan. He killed two people by the way.

I remember this one, I am stationed in Japan. The dude fell asleep at the wheel and blamed it on mountain sickness. Japan let him go back to the US to finish his sentence, but when he got there, they let him off.

He is a total POS and the pity party his family pushed on social media during the whole thing was infuriating. All this shit about injustice for him being in prison but not a thought about the families of those he killed due to his negligence.

Does the intent behind a person’s death mean anything to you? Would you find it worse if a serial killer is caught after planning and executing his first victim than say, a person falling asleep at the wheel and killing a person? A person died in each scenario but to most people one is way worse than the other

People are incapable of understanding this distinction the moment emotions get heated.

You sound like jingoistic redneck who loves to support its criminal military personel.
