For the love of all that is holy.
1. If Jackson steals a wallet, while visiting Japan, for whatever damn reason, can Japan arrest her, charge her, and try her? And screw Japan, make it China. Hell, Afghanistan if you want, Taliban got her, she wasn't wearing a Burka, or whatever. Who has jurisdiction in each of these cases? I mean damn, if tourist are not under the jurisdiction of the countries they are in, then why would we warn people visiting Saudi Arabia or Dubai? Why even bother to follow their laws and their customs. They have no "jurisdiction".
2. Flip it around, as Sotamayer did. Can Japan come to the United States and arrest a Japanese citizen, on US soil, for a crime committed in Japan? Hell no, they can't even arrest them in the US embassy IN Japan. And the reverse works the same.
Look, I don't know how those on the right do it. I mean it makes my head hurt. The absolute cognitive dissonance, and that is on the slight chance they even halfway understand. For instance, within the last 48 hours we have heard about some Homeland Security big wheel that likes to go to Colombia and Thailand for sex vacations with hookers. Openly brags about it to the point that it is sexual harassment. But hey, no problem those on the right say.
See, prostitution is legal in Colombia and Thailand. Those countries had, wait for it, JURISDICTION, so no big deal. And those on the right can post that in that thread, and then post the exact opposite in this thread, and not skip a damn beat.
