That's reassuring. Thank you. Now we can all rest and tell people to stop questioning, debating and discussing because one incident is not indicative of the population as a whole.
Thoughts go out to the families involved.

unemployment seems to be at 10.9 percent in Guam down from 13 percent with more tourism jobs increasing. what other choices of jobs are available? http://pidp.org/pireport/2012/December/12-28-16.htm

It is a terrible tragedy and act of undeniable cruelty. My question is aside from this crime: what is it like to live on an isolated island and be part of a military and tourism-based economy? Soldiers and training in one section and shop and eat tourism in another section. What of the people in the middle? What is it like to have drug trafficking from other nations all around?
Why is that island destined to be the hotel of the Pacific? Who has a right to designate them as such? It must lead to some kind of bottled up stress that we can expect more of if we do not think more about the cause of the effect.

Here is an article from The Guardian on drones "Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)" around the world. At the time, Japan was not even listed. This is a security company that is renting out small drones for surveillance at larger facilities. Not uncommon. They are used in large farms even in the US which has 678 according to this article for various purposes and sizes. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2012/aug/03/drone-stocks-by-country Cnn posted this: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/25/us/drones-privacy/index.html sign of the times.

They are people who do not deserve the anger. They do what people do, work and feed families. They'd love an easier job inside an air conditioned office filing papers! Check out a book that gives insight into what it is like to work in a nuclear weapons plant. Secrecy, protests, raids, illness. Many of the families of these workers had no idea what "Mom or Dad" did at work!
