    And the American Secret Service knocking on people’s doors and asking about their Facebook profiles

      oh yeah, if some other country’s secret service knocked on my door asking questions, i’d ask them to sit down (outside), serve them drinks, be polite, and laugh in their faces.

        Then they put coke on the plate of drinks and arrest you for having illegal drugs.

        Best thing is always just to ignore them until they go away. Never answer the door.

            The jurisdiction of there being more of them than there are of you, and probably some form of restraints.

                If your hood has that sort of solidarity, more pwoer to you

                But it doesn’t disprove the comment you replied too.

                US goons could shoot you on the spot and the country would look the other way because they had diplomatic immunity

                With that being said, fuck the police coming straight from the underground

                Just don’t get shot over something stupid.

                  where did you get your law degree because that is not how diplomatic immunity works. it does not extend to the goons nor their spouses no matter how much Anna Sacoolas screeches

                    I have sufficient historical context to understand how this shit works in practice, dear

                    Note this how Daddy Sam reacted to the Turkish goons fucking around in Washington.

                    SS will shoot you like a dog, and by the time your limp dick regime does anything, they will be gone.

                    You got a law of faith in the" law"

                    Any properly educated adult knows that the laws bind peasants and protect the rulers. That’s poli scie 101

                    So is you in the club or is you just naive?

                    Writing in the Washington Post two days after the incident, UVA law professor Ashley Deeks insisted, “Diplomatic immunity protects U.S. officials abroad, too, and if we want to make sure American diplomats and agents aren’t subject to harassment in foreign courts, our options for holding Erdogan’s guards to account are limited.”

                    In the press conference Thursday, DC Police Chief Newsham said he would leave questions of immunity to the State Department, but said the warrants for arrest came from the Metropolitan Police Department. He said, several times, that he hoped those named in today’s list of suspects would present themselves to face justice — or claim their innocence.

                    But it may be too late: Most of the security detail in question left for Turkey with Erdoǧan that week. Unless they return, they most likely won’t face justice at all.

                  you miss the defining point of your argument, ones from a different country trying to arrest someone, and yes, some of them have done time for that.

      Residents in Charlbury and the tiny hamlet of Dean, where the manor house is situated, quickly grew weary of Vance and his entourage of vehicles and Secret Service agents.

      Wow, overzealous much? No one wants to kill Vance, what’s the point!? 😂 He’s like wasps or mosquitoes, people just want him to go away…
