Turkish NATO F16 pilot severly beaten by Kuwait embassy staff in Ankara - Polidicks

[IMG]http://i.tmgrup.com.tr/dailysabah/2014/09/11/HaberDetay/1410435886691.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE] Major Hakan Karakuş was driving his family to a hospital in Çankaya, where many embassies are located, when a Kuwaiti diplomat's car overtook him and almost caused him to crash. When Karakuş warned the driver, four embassy officials stepped out of the car and engaged in a brawl with the pilot. Karakuş was hospitalized for injuries to his head while a passersby intervened to stop the beating. Fearing a reprisal once an angry crowd surrounded him, a Kuwaiti diplomat, who was reportedly among those assaulting Karakuş, took shelter in the offices of a nearby bank. Turkish police took the diplomat to the police station for questioning. Eyewitnesses claimed three assailants kicked Karakuş in the face repeatedly and told the crowd, which was trying to intervene, that they had diplomatic immunity.

From another [URL="http://www.haberay.com/guncel/f-16-pilotuna-olduresiye-dayak-h48821.html"]source[/URL] I read that a month ago they killed a man by beating in the same street, police were unable to do anything since they had diplomatic immunity.

Man, that's fucked up. If only Danny Glover had been around. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwC_IaY3BmY[/media]

Your immunity doesn't mean shit when you actively engage in the act instead of passively/defensive.

The most the Turkish goverment can do really is to declare them persona non grata and expel them from the country.

Imo Diplomatic Immunity should only apply to stuff that would actually hinder you in your work, not to you beating another man senseless for fuck's sake.

Jesus, what a bunch of pricks. I hope they get what's coming for them.

...Wait, Kuwait is mad at Turkey?

[QUOTE=Riller;45954003]...Wait, Kuwait is mad at Turkey?[/QUOTE] More that the diplomats themselves were acting like dicks.

[QUOTE=Riller;45954003]...Wait, Kuwait is mad at Turkey?[/QUOTE] Turkey is too moderate to fit into the arab peninsula club

Didn't even know that there was a kuwait embassy here in turkey :v:

even though its been posted i'll say it fuck it's like lethal weapon II only for reals this time

What's the fucking point of diplomatic immunity anyway "You're free to break our laws, go ahead we wont look"

FYI kuwait's diplomats don't even pay their parking tickets [quote]In New York City, the home of the United Nations Headquarters (and hence thousands of diplomats), the city regularly protests to the United States Department of State about non-payment of parking tickets because of diplomatic status....A 2006 study by two economists found that there was a significant correlation between home-country corruption (as measured by Transparency International) and unpaid parking fines; nonetheless, approximately 30 countries (or 20%) had fewer than one unpaid fine per diplomat over a five-year period, and 20 had none at all. [B]Six countries had in excess of 100 violations per diplomat: Kuwait, Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Bulgaria and Mozambique.[/B][13][/quote]
