If Joey were killed accidentally by a foreign diplomat, I would be every bit as distraught and outraged as anyone might expect. I might want to kill the diplomat. But I wouldn't blame the President of the diplomat's country for not returning the culprit here to face American justice. I would realize that "immunity" means something, nauseating as it might be to me under those circumstances.

BTW, micro, I do not agree with you that the driver killed the cyclist through her negligence. Negligence has a specific legal meaning. Accidents do not necessarily involve negligence. From what I've read about this particular accident, there was no negligence. It was a mistake. She forgot that she was in England. That's not negligence.

President Trump is not the one to blame. What you really should target is the foreign policy that predates President Trump and grants immunity to diplomats. Maybe it's time to end that policy. BUT, understand that if you do, you may bring about an end to diplomacy around the world. After all, what person in their right mind would want to serve as a diplomat to a nation like Iran, Egypt, etc., where the system of justice is so very un-just? Diplomats either get immunity from prosecution for their crimes or relations between nations become very, very, VERY difficult.

BTW, the Americans involved may not have been diplomats. I found a believable article from Feb 18th that says both husband and wife are high ranking CIA officials. They DID have diplomatic immunity, and England assisted the wife in leaving the country. England then waited several weeks before telling the aggrieved mother.

Interesting, no?

Micro > POLITICIANS have more rights and can do more things and get away with them than you can and Trump isn;t going to attempt to make this right or do anything...

Boss,
You are right about 'politicians have more rights' . . .
The demoncrappers love to scream "Nobody is Above the LAW!" . . .
When they have a Republican type in the dock. But notice
that the hildabeast has still not been indicted . . . Biden
(as far as I can tell) is not well and truly being investigated
for corruption . . . and the lists go on and on and on . . .

I do not know what Trump has or has not been doing regarding
that poor lady in England . . . I would hope that 'We' have,
or are, or will do something to make it right. But in the
grand scheme of things it just isn't that important to me.

Not when we have the likes of the 'mueller special prosecution'
so blatantly depriving Americans of their rights.

Not when so many demoncrapper poloticians apparently get a free
pass on what should be seen as treasonous behavior.

Not when 'they' think Trump should be impeached on nothing but
hearsay . . . While adam schitt is clearly guilty of depriving
the President of his Constitutional Right to have witnesses
called to exonerate him.

As a guy at work today reminded me of saying . . .
"Donald Trump is an azzhole."
"But at least he is OUR Azzhole."

Donald Trump is putting America First.
None of those slimeballs of the democrat persuasion will do that.

Zim.
