OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.
Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as “Johnny Somali” on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.
Ismael’s videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.
The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka’s Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.
They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
They will not speak until they see lawyers
If I remember correctly, police in Japan can hold you without a lawyer for 21 days, and then renew the detention more or less indefinitely.
I hope that they didn’t try to claim their Miranda or fifth amendment rights.
i think i read something similar on reddit years back. someone was arrested and everything was in japanese and he couldn’t read anything. the police and lawyers were asking him to plead guilty or something and he was adamant on a lawyer which he never got. he was in jail for months i think.
Hope they enjoy Japan jail. I’ve heard it sucks. Sounds perfect for them.
“…makes light of atomic bombings… racist comments about Japanese…” What the hell is wrong with people 🤦♂️ and why do people give these fuckwads views
Assholes use “the audience” as a reason to be assholes in public.
It’s that guy?! I’ve been waiting for this. I hope he stays in prison for years. What a POS. There’s even a video of him going around on the train saying this stuff.
They’re assholes making videos for other assholes.
You might ask how they got that way? Raised by assholes.
And one day they’ll probably have kids who have a better chance than not of being raised to be assholes
Can social media influencers leave Japan alone already
These nuisance streamers only come here because they know they’d get their ass beat if they went somewhere else.
Japanese chivalry is MVP ❤️
