Diplomat Shot Bootblack


Viggen

Well this is not going to make headline news around the world, but it makes me angry. In a few words; A diplomat wants his shoes polished in a noble hotel in Vienna. The bootblack tells him that he is now on a break and he has to wait a bit. The diplomat gets upset starts arguing and eventuelly fires a shot at the bootblack...

 

Now nothing is going to happen to the diplomat, "Diplomatic immunity ", All we can do is tell him to leave the country... Do you feel this is right?

The diplomat is from Yemen, and the embassador has been called into the departement of internal affairs, i believe the diplomat will be expelled from austria, but thats it. Diplomats are untouchable, at least he missed the poor dude but imagine if an ordinairy citizen would have shot right through a busy hotel lounge, i guess a couple of years in jail would be the possible outcome...p.s. The embassador from Yemen said on our news the diplomat will leave austria immediately and he apologized for this incident..

A friend of mine was a cop in NYC. He watched an Egyptian ambassador run a red light and slam into the side of another car. Naturally, he went over to sort things out. When all was said and done, he was the one who got into trouble.

On the other side of the coin, about 25 years ago, my then girlfriend and I 'baby sat' a Danish consul's home. His car came in the bargain. But, he warned us that the Danish government paid all fines and that the culprit had to cough up the gold. I was a good boy.
