    We drive on this side of the street, they drive on that side. Easy to be confused. If she has diplomatic immunity, what's all the fuss about?

    The media believes that American diplomats should not enjoy the same privileges that foreign diplomats are given while on American soil.

    Well for one, it's a fuss in the USA because the MSM is trying to make Trump out to be the villain as usual...though he is following the law. For me, the fuss is that the woman fled from Britain without so much as an apology for killing a young man. Just a mess--but still blown out of proportion by the media.

    She probably said to her husband, "Hon, take care of this, I'd be embarrassed by all the clammer." Or something like that and cut a
    quick trip back home.

    One of the reasons I don't look at newspapers
    The TV news gives a better glimpse at the truth and what I saw and heard from the couple diminished my support
    for them. Even so, the woman in question, could have handled the situation a 'lot' better.

    I'm sure the husband will eventually apologize as protocol suggest.
