CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa — Three juvenile sons of Marines have been identified as suspects in a rock throwing incident that damaged the home of an Okinawa man.

According to Okinawa police, the incident took place Feb. 5 when the boys, all sixth-graders, threw rocks from Plaza family housing area on Camp Foster at the home in the Tamagami district of Chatan.

Yoshio Arashiro, 65, who lives in the house, told Stars and Stripes that several rocks broke glass windows, causing an estimated $900 in damages. He took photos of boys throwing rocks, which led police to the suspects.

Arashiro said that he was visited on Tuesday by three Marines, their sons and an interpreter. He said the boys apologized for their actions and that compensation would be made.

However, Arashiro said instances like this have been happening for the past 10 years. He said he’s placed sheet metal over some windows and tried to protect others by placing large plants in front of them.

1. They've been throwing rocks at this guy's house for ten years?

He'd better start giving out better candy at Halloween?

What the hell?

Do they think this guy's been pissing in their orange juice every morning or something?
