Oh! The latest flap I LIKE is 'Diplomatic Imunity and properties are
sacrosanct.'
NO!
Diplomatic attachment to our country, especially, is valid only so long as
the diplomats act with diplomacy.
Sounds contrary? Justly so! A French diplomat was stopped for driving while
under the influence and claimed Diplomatic immunity. NO! He got 6 months
for DUI and negligent contest, too.
Then, there was the famous Russian parking ticket scandal in Washington.
They had to pay the parking tickets or leave the country. Outskied!
Again, 'Diplomatic Imunity is only valid so long as the actions of those
granted this priveledge remain diplomatic.'
It's the same with European Artistcracy. Once accused of a crime, the
titled person looses their title until the matter is resolved or they serve
their time. While under this mantls of criminal justice, their title is no
longer valid. It is withheld but not revoked.
In the Mid East, titled gentry are publically ridiculed or exicuted for
criminal acts, while commoners have privacy.
There are photographs to prove all of this.
