Trump defends diplomat's wife who killed teenage Briton in crash: 'It happens'

[MixMasterTang]

So she didn't actually have diplomatic immunity? Wtf then, how was she able to leave? Don't people with diplomatic immunity have to show credentials to prove it?

She told the UK police she had diplomatic immunity but it turned out to be false. Not sure what checks are normally done.

And diplomatic immunity doesn't apply for things like manslaughter/murder IIRC.

You are arguing with the couple who lost their son. It's their word

Why is everything an argument with you? Seriously.

It's not an argument.
It is an opinion of what I read in the article and the use of the word " ambushed ".

 

[pcgeek11]

Ambushed is fair in context. They weren't told in advance and the offer was sprung on them when they were in a meeting with the President. If they had taken that meeting I suspect that Sacoolass' lawyers would say that they had a meeting and everything is resolved.

In my opinion it would have been an ambush if he had taken them into the room with her sitting there with no warning. That is an ambush.

She was in another room and he offered to have them meet. They refused and the meeting wasn't pushed onto them. Not an ambush.

I read that like he’s tried to pay them off with OUR money. “Yo Stevie, got the country’s checkbook handy?”

Bribery is spelled out in the Constitution as an impeachable offense...

Thinking so archaic that it's antediluvian. We don't talk about that old thing. Yes, sarcasm but the Constitutionality of an action isn't very important these days.

Well duh, you think Turmp is gonna pay his own slush money?

Waiting for the usual nothing to see here crowd.

Someone kills your son, a meeting with government officials is setup for you to get some justice and hidden in the next room is your son's killer and you were not told in advance. Said government official was going to push the two of you together in front of the press. You don't get THAT??

Maybe we should just apply the same logic to the parents: If they kill their son's killer in a fit of rage, then you know, "it happens", no harm no foul?

Pretty sure that's how justice normally works? /s
