As some of you may know there is currently a huge controversy over the trial of Sgt. Fernando Nino where he was acquitted of negligent homicide.

Something I'm not so sure of is whether this incident has gotten the public involved simply because it involves the U.S. army resident in Corea or because the men were acquitted... I mean... is this out of pure hatred against the U.S. or do people really care about the girls? Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating that the soldiers are innocent. I'm merely questioning the motives behind some of the protesters... Given all the recent sign of hatred against the U.S. this might even have been good news for them? Just to have another set of strong ammunition, ya know? I'm sure there are those who have thought this through, but many of them are idiots who have nothing constructive to add to the situation who think yelling "fuck you America" and throwing bottles at our very own police force is supposed to change something. To me there are two issues here. One is the belief that Corea does not have much influence over the U.S. armies resident in Corea. That definitely needs to be addressed. The other issue is the actual death of the two girls. That's gonna be difficult for either involved parties: the girls family, and the soldiers family. I just hope things develop in such a way to help prevent such incidents from occuring in the future.

Here are some articles I've gathered on the subject (All of them are in Corean, tho)
