[quote]A US diplomat in Nairobi who killed a Kenyan father of three in a car crash while speeding in his SUV was rushed out of the country by US embassy officials, Kenyan officials said.
Citing police, Kenyan officials said the diplomat crossed the centre line in his car on July 11 and hit a full mini-bus in the capital, killing Haji Lukindo and seriously wounding eight other passengers.
The injured were left with no financial aid to pay for hospital bills while the six-months-pregnant widow, Latifah Naiman Mariki, had no money for her husband's funeral.[/quote]
What a piece of shit.

At least he represents his county well enough.
Diplomatic immunity can be such bullshit

It should have been revoked.
So, diplomatic immunity extends to killing people, now? This is why you are hated, America. This right here. Blame this asshole and whoever authorized his ass to be covered by the state instead of hanging him out to dry.

Um every country has the ability to claim diplomatic immunity wether they decide to use it or not. I'm not saying it wasnt an asshole move to atleast compensate these people, but claiming this is a special American privilege is just ignorant.
The 'Street Justice' in Nigeria is more than enough reason to get you and your family out of the country, but they should have kept them at the embassy instead of exacerbating an international incident.

Where did I say that no other country has ever abused diplomatic immunity ever never? Mmm, that's the dry, chewy taste of a straw man.
This is a documented incident of a US diplomat driving into a bus, killing one person and injuring multiple others, and then fucking off. The fact that other nations would be no less assholish if they pulled it has nothing to do with the fact that [I]this is the incident that actually happened[/I]. Fuck, take your national pride out of your mouth for a second so it doesn't make your eyes cross.
Diplomatic immunity should just not exist in general.
Having those who represent a country be exempt from the laws of the country they are currently in is just a backwards, stupid system

Usually to protect diplomats who are in countries that don't have good relations.
Oh god I thought Obama got assassinated for a second :tinfoil:

If it was Russia or China or wherever, I'd be unloading on them, although "This is why you're hated, Russia" doesn't have the same weight at the moment.

because a US diplomat is equal to all of the US of A... right?
so because he's an asshole? USA is an asshole as a whole?

a [U][I][B]person [/B][/I][/U]appointed by a national government to conduct official negotiations and maintain political, economic, and social relations with another country or countries.
ok so, yes, he HELPS represent the US
but he's just that, a person, he doesn't truly represent the US as a whole, yes it really looks bad, but him being a giant cunt doesn't make the US a cunt.

[QUOTE]In January 2001, in Canada, Andrei Knyazev, a Russian diplomat drove his car into two pedestrians on a quiet residential street, killing one and seriously injuring the other. Knyazev had previously been stopped by Ottawa police on two separate occasions on suspicion of impaired driving. Russia refused the Canadian government's request to waive his immunity. Knyazev was subsequently prosecuted in Russia for involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison. His appeal of the sentence was denied, and he served time in a penal colony.[/QUOTE]

This has got to be one of the dumbest things ive read in a long time.
So one person equals a whole country?
What logic is that?

"If I had a son, he'd look like a Kenyan man crossing the street."
as someone said earlier, you do not stop, even for the police. They are always fake and they will scam you, and a whole assortment of other things which I'd rather not mention
there's no adobe in nairobi. There's no justice either. :(

So making being gay illegal, basically endorsing mobs in the street killing gays, and not letting foreign gay couples adopt russian children isn't more weight?
B-but america bad!
If you'd "unload" on any other country just the same, why bother referencing the person's origin.

Ooooooh I thought it was weird that no one did this, but there it is.
From what I heard Africa is quite vengeful and bases itself on some sort of lynch justice, so I bet he was rushed out just to not let him end up dead next morning.
