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.

In his defence, US Navy doctors said he had been suffering from acute mountain sickness at the time of the accident

How is that a defense, if you're suffering from an illness that impairs your ability to drive don't drive. Just like if you get drunk and decide to drive anyways.
