Nagoya UNSOLVED murder - Foreigner stabbed by Yakuza

forcibly hugging and kissing a 24-year-old female employee

With all the problems Japan has, they're going waste time going after somebody, that they already cleared once, for forcibly hugging and kissing...

Aren't there more than a few unsolved murder cases floating around...?

Haven't heard word one about that foreigner that was stabbed to death in Nagoya over road rage with some Yakuza a year ago...

Or is that too difficult to solve...? There were only half a dozen witnesses, seeing how it happened at 2pm in the afternoon...

JapanToday is ENTERTAINMENT, NOT NEWS..

mindovermatter at 07:11 PM JST - 7th October

And their bosses did not know? Bull.

Everyone involved was arrested..

If you read a REAL news source / site, they tell you REAL details.. Everyone, from the police chief, to the guy passing out the drugs, who was involved, was arrested... I can't believe people read JT an think it's REAL news... It's ENTERTAINMENT and CENSURED ENTERTAINMENT at that...

So if they don't agree with your comments, they delete them...

If The Japanese Government was really doing their job, you would have heard of hundreds of these types of raids, against their own corrupt City Police Departments... The ones that look the other way, while the Yakuza thrives right under their noses, in broad daylight.

Sorry Fishy...! Wrong again!

  wrong. 防衛省によりますと、アメリカ兵が日本で起こした事件や事故に対する賠償は、日米地位協定に基づいて、 防衛省とアメリカ軍が公務中かどうかを協議し、公務中でないと判断された場合には、 アメリカ軍があらためて賠償額を決めて支払うということです。

  According to the Ministry of Defense, when the serviceman was not on duty at the time of the incident, the U.S. government will finalize the amount of money and pay. It is most likely less than 50 million yen, but will see how much it will be.

  You would probably be better served by NOT believing everything you read on "Wikipedia," since anyone and their brother can edit those pages, and typically does...

  I know what the SOFA agreement states, and that's a matter of public record. Whatever you read on JT, isn't worth the fonts it's printed in...

  JapanToday is for ENTERTAINMENT purposes only...

  It's like watching the FOX news of Japan...

  Now, I cannot say, how much the Japanese Government is going to end up paying, In the Name of the dirt-bag, but it wouldn't surprise me if they paid the 50-million yen, and said the U.S. government did...

  Oh, and there was a case a year ago or so, just to show you, how the gavel comes down on these kinds of issues, if you remember those kids at Yokota that stretched that line across a street and that lady riding a moped ended up in a coma... Well, that's a clear cut case, in which the U.S. does pay, because those kids are NOT treated the same under the SOFA as military, there exists NO SUCH THING for dependents as a "DUTY-RELATED" incident.

  So accordingly the parents were totally liable, NOT the U.S., but the parents... I think the Military ended up forking out some big money, but that's only because those parents will get stuck with the bill.

  As far as this Nigerian thug, No they won't see a penny from Uncle Sam, as I mentioned before, I am sure the base paid some token money to help the family with burial arrangements, etc... But they won't pay a dime for a civil judgment, that's all on Mr.Nigerian Thug...and perhaps the JN government...

Hello 8-year old YuriOtani!

YuriOtani

Well what will China do if their "demands" are not met? We are ready and waiting for you.

What are you like 8 years old...?

Welcome to Japan, a country of total and unconditional "Victim-Hood," a country with 100 million, 8-year olds, masquerading as adults...

Japanese are always in pursuit of class

@MistWizard

Japanese are always in pursuit of class though

That may be a "Bridge too far," You'd better stick to a more realistic and desperately needed goal, like "Common Sense," but that for Japanese, may be easier said than done.

Roos' attendance at Hiroshima A-bomb memorial draws mixed reaction

mindovermatter at 10:21 AM JST - 7th August

‘‘He didn’t pay even a floral tribute."

Ok, where's all the memorials dedicated to the victims of Japan's war of aggression...? Take a trip to Germany, you'll see plenty of memorials dedicated to the victims of "Their" aggression, in Japan, all you see if memorials to themselves, not one memorial dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Chinese they killed in Nanking, or the other hundred of so well-documented, atrocities committed by the Japanese Army, under the direction of their government... Only memorials to themselves..

You're lucky you got any representative at all to visit that memorial, you're never going to get an apology. For God's sake, you were training school-kids and old-lady's to attack the U.S. soldiers with bamboo spears, fight to the last person.

Japan really needs to look in the mirror and stop this crazy "Victim-Hood" mentality... Japan couldn't have turned out better today, if they had planned it. The U.S. gave you your freedom, democracy, and put you on the road to being a wealthy capitalist society.

It's just a coincidence that South Korea is also doing well... Oh, but not there neighbor, North Korea.

You are welcome for your 60+ years of freedom, prosperity and safety, courtesy of the U.S. Military.

The role that the U.S. military plays in Japan and the region cannot be understated

@prinzjay

The Japanese do not deserve a free ride or a free lunch when at this level of the game. They dont even want to step up to plate

Spot on!

They want their cake, and they want to eat it too...

What they pay through taxes to host U.S. forces in Japan, is peanuts, compared to what it would cost them... Not only that, the money they pay, stays in Japan, they aren't buying fighter planes, or ships for the U.S., they are paying money that is in a closed loop system, it either goes to Japanese contractors, MLC employees, Utility companies...

It's like paying for someone's room in a hotel, that you own.

I'll bet 99.999% of these people posting have no idea how good of a deal Japan has gotten out of the U.S. in the last 60-plus years... They want foreigners in Japan, only for the money, and if they could figure out a way to close up Japan's borders to foreigners out and keep foreign money coming in, they would do it tomorrow. Not everyone, but enough people here have been brainwashed by these history re-writers, they actually believe Japan was a victim of WW2, Think I'm joking...?

You want to know what life would be like if the U.S. hadn't of given you democracy, Capitalism and freedom, just take a look at how good they have it in N.Korea...

It's just a coincidence that South Korea has such a good quality of life, and they were also set up for success, and protected by the U.S.

And you're welcome Japan!

What an Idiot you are..."James Hadfield!"

mindovermatter at 11:16 AM JST - 11th July

First of all, You're an idiot...

Second of all, Japan clown-Cops are all idiots too...

We all know, bicycle riders are the main crime in Japan...(¬_¬)

Never mind, those Bozo's with the motorcycles and 1500cc Mopeds, shooting in and out of traffic, running red lights, and running 100+kph down residential streets...

I'm sofa, and after my first encounter with those clown cops, I now produce my Military ID, and say, "I can call the military police right now..." "What do you want to do guy...?"

And every single time, they put their heads down and wave me on my way...

What a corrupt and irrelevant bunch of kids masquerading as adult police officers... Good luck Japan...

Until you start voting these idiots out of office, who make the decisions regarding these clown cops, You are stuck!

Ban on off-base drinking after midnight imposed on U.S. military in Okinawa

Ban on off-base drinking after midnight imposed on U.S. military in Okinawa

Good! They should have did this a long time ago... And it should a ban on ALL Drinking Off-Base, period...

Then next time, one of those racist natives gets their teeth knocked out, for starting a fight with a Marine, they won't have any reason or recourse... Because you take the Alcohol out of the equation and you better be able to prove the american started it, or else the CO of that base will tell the J-Cops to kiss-his white butt... Because SELF-DEFENSE is ALLOWED... I'd bet 100% of those guys who got arrested in Okinawa in the past, were drunk... And as far as the Military is concerned, you are automatically guilt as charged, if you have any bit of alcohol in your system...PERIOD... It's been that way for 40 years.... No trial, no jury, no investigation, if you were drinking, you are AUTOMATICALLY 100% at fault... take em away j-cops...

Good, I am waiting to see Okinawans lose their reason / probable cause to have some jar-heads arrested... I'll bet Okinawans will be on their best behavior now... After they find out, that the marines are allowed to defend themselves... Not to mention, that eliminating the alcohol, will also eliminate 99.99% of the trouble-maker marines...

@mikehuntez - sorry JapanToday, you can't delete this post...!

@mikehuntez

You people are blinded by your rage against Japan for doing limited whaling and calling it research so you just can't accept that Sea Nazis are wrong. Well at least Pete B can ponder this in jail. The rest of you go back to your daily lives and ponder this. Maybe if you join the Sea Nazis you can go along next year and make your own decisions about how "correct" they are.

I don't know what you're smoking...? But doing drugs in Japan is Illegal... You should be careful, or you'll end up in a jail cell next to this whale activist...

I am NOT condoning this Wacko-Nutjob's actions in the least bit, but if you haven't taken notice, He was apprehended, within a couple hundred miles of HIS OWN COUNTRY... Thousands of miles away from Japan, matter of fact, not even in the same Hemisphere...

This is Japan, feeling it's oats... Even the U.S. would have turned over this wacko back to his own country, as the u.s. military regularly does when they take trips to that part of of the world... These green-peace wackos try to ram their ships against anything nuclear, even aircraft carriers, AND NOT ONLY within the jurisdiction of New Zealand or Australia... happens all the time... Matter of fact, the only time, the U.S. doesn't turn over suspects, back to their originating country is when their activities involve terrorism... It's pretty cut-n-dry...

Now you have Japan, because it likes hunting whales in that part of the world, all of a sudden, seeing what it can get away with.... Oh, let's just brand these green-peace guys as Terrorist...

NOT QUITE...!

I am waiting to see what happens if they try to take some Americans... Good luck with that Japan.. And thank god for the SOFA... Keeping, the racist element within Japan at bay and away from the mob mentality of 12 year olds, which it can quickly return to, at the drop of a hat... Been here 30 years... I don't know everything about japan, but there's not much I haven't seen... Japan has a long way to go... And if you think for one instant, that Japan is a developed country... You are smoking crack...
