U.S. DIPLOMAT'S WIFE KILLS A BIKER IN THE UK, CLAIMS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY, FLEES BACK HOME TO THE STATES

[JohnCommode]

An American diplomat's wife ran into and killed a UK biker near an RAF base while driving on the wrong side of the road. She fled back to the U.S. claiming diplomatic immunity. It doesn't look like we will send her back to answer for this.

Diplomatic immunity was designed to allow the diplomatic staffs of countries with strained relations to carry out their normal activities without fear of persecution by the host country. The concept has been corrupted over the years to include crap like this including sexual assaults. It's popular with UN diplomats in New York.

IM0 it's an embarrassment that we would do this to one of our closest allies in order to protect some ditz.

The feeling is that her husband is probably a spook.

i would love to get a hold of some diplomat plates so can park anywhere in nyc and throw away the tickets without worrying.

My quick take was that the driver faces a manslaughter charge.

People rarely do time for being stupid.

Folks are just looking for remorse.

In another era, our leaders (their peers) would demand honorable behavior from those who represent the US. It would never occur to her to flee.

Western civilization and the alleged greatest country on earth.

Miserable weak capitalists. America kicked England's ass in the 18th and 19th centuries but let them think they were as good as we are in the 20th century. Time to put a stars and stripes boot up their limey asses again. Show those quasi socialists who is boss. Please Mr. Trump, nuke those fuckers.

accidents happen, 2 wrongs don't make a right. assuming she wasn't blind drunk on high on dangerous drugs like pot, the guilt of killing someone in a car crash is punishment enough.

Honestly, everybody should be allowed to kill bikers with impunity.
