With due respect to you as a fellow human being on the other side of our tired old globe, Diplomatic Immunity is first, paramount, and foremost when raised as the position of the United States Government who have the facts on their diplomat to know up from down.
I'm with you on that. But 3 people are dead. In fact, where are the occupants of the Land Cruiser which fled from the crime scene?
When laws are broken, the justice system must take its due course. The Americans assured us full cooperation in this matter.
As to separately then investigating the same and a prior criminal history of the two robbers that is an issue separately for the Pakistani officals to then investigate.
it seems to be one word against anothers'
some say he was criminal; some say he was licensed to carry the arm for protection and was coming back from court
we should continue to follow up and get the bottom line truth
Why were they living a life of crime and robberies, plural word, robberies, one of which was same day against a Pakistani, just before they failed to execute another robbery against Mr. Davis.
where u got this information, sir
I am sure you are a good man but you are repeating wild allegations without facing the core facts of first Diplomatic Immunity, then secondarily the history of the two crooks.
i was not at the scene (some people on this forum were, or claim they were)....i am basing my analysis on what i've read.
diplomatic immunity can always be waived, depending on the crime. If it were a hit & run case, he'd already be out of the country. But it involved more than just hit & run. This case is more severe.
Maybe you want to help better the future of Pakistan, then maybe not. I would hope you care about your good nation and if you do then you can start to understand international law and treaties, separated from local crimes against both Pakistanis and this one American who defend himself.
every man who has a modicum of self-respect would care and want better future for their motherland.....
i will leave it to the courts to come out with a decision. I can guarantee you if Pakistanis in New York or DC did what Davis did in Lahore --they'd already be labelled ''Islamist terrorists'' or something to that effect
am I mistaken?
Back and forth between you, me, and others on PDF will never fix anything. Diplomtic Immunity is the starting point. All else comes after that.
so......lets speculate. Would the Americans pursue the charges on its own soil? Or would they allow him to be a free man, like his colleagues who killed a 20 year old bystander and drove away after it?
But, to be polite, I understand you disagree but then much of the world disagrees with you right now.
No problem at all, so what.
Let them.
But, we are not out to insult you nor Pakistan, and you should have the same view, not be out to insulty me, the US or Mr. Davis who is lucky to have survived an armed robbery attempt on his person.
I hate to break it to you, but robberies is a phenomenon in different parts of the country.......look at areas of Karachi.
hell --its a worldwide phenomenon. Look at parts of Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, US or Columbia. Exact same problems, even similar tactics are used.
If news reports are to be believed, the man was not a robber. So we clearly differ on even this detail.
Again, i'll let the courts decide what to do with him. I am nobody, I have no locus standi on this matter. Those are merely my views.
God Bless America and Pakistan Zindabad.
Zindabad....Ameen to that.
