The U.S. State Department has said Sacoolas cannot be extradited because she is covered by diplomatic immunity.
"The United States government again expresses its sincere condolences and sympathy to the Dunn family for the loss of their son," the State Department spokesperson said.She has said that she was"devastated' by the crash and expressed her"His family welcomed the criminal charge against Sacoolas when it was first announced in December.
She said then that the family assumed it would be easy to get justice for her son considering the circumstances and"we had no idea it was going to be this hard and it would take this long."
Redrum
Talk about NoJustice. My heart goes out to the parents of that teen. Melania1STLady, what happened to BeBest? I think realDonaldTrump and the TrumpCrimeFamily should take that advice BeBest Mike_Pence God knows how much you lie, LiesLiesLies you're worse than POTUS
Just read the article and that's not murder that's manslaughter smh
But they expect the UK to extradite julian Assange 🤦♀️
Why?
So the US now harbours criminals ... and is therefore aiding and abetting such garbage ... and clearly the biggest criminal sits in the white house ...
Yet the UK will extradite Assange for revealing the war crimes of the USA. By now if you don't know we are lead by evil narcissistic lying sob's you deserve their wrath.
Once again we refuse to be the example for the world.
Shitbags
This is so wrong!
I can't come up w/a reason why this isn't a wrong decision.....
Disgusting!
I can smell Trump
Your CIA has made extraordinary rendition common place; we've asked nicely, we've even requested your servicemen to abide by our laws & drive on the correct side of the road; yet they do not. How about we just come & get her?
IT IS WHO YOU KNOW
If it were ur son or brother that had been killed, wouldn’t U want 2 see justice done? How do others feel?
We even expect service members to obey the laws of the countries they visit. Why not her?
Wrong decision indeed!!!what if it was one of their children. What if it was one of Trumps children? She walks as the parents grieve for their dead child. Simply wrong.
Sometimes it's impossible to have any respect for the US govt. This would be one of those times.
Diplomatic immunity isn’t a free pass to commit a crime - it only favors a foreigner to accomplish a diplomatic mission, unobstructed - period. They’re applying the MAGA hat principle: corrupted swamp of criminals.
Prosecute that bitch.. wtf.. it would be an international issue if it were the other way around.
Must not have been a Maga voter or he would be bending over backwards to appease.
Surprise, surprise NOT. I cannot imagine being in Anne Sacoola's shoes right now, but I would have to do the right thing for Harry Dunn. How can she live with herself?
Why not?
If the US government had any dignity left, they'd at least try & come to an arrangement that would help ease the parents pain. That woman killed a parents child then ran away, who does that? If that were me I'd have to face the music, my conscience would demand it.
Why was she driving? I am sure it wasn't the first time she went on the wrong side of the road.
Trump has made our country as corrupt as Russia NK Turkey Brazil we have become an embarrassment world wide gop are complicit for power the shame the stink can never be removed
The dnc socialists would trade her for 5 convicted peaceful religious terrorist..
Not enough of a crime. Taking a child's life. Ok, you will need to live with that. That is your sentence, although I don't know if you understand or are being influenced by others...
That was only to be expected. Diplomatic immunity.
because 'Murika
Swap her for Assange?
WTF
F up
So she kills this dude and gets off the hook. She should be in jail.
How much $ did they put into Drumph's re-election campaign?
It’s Russia’s fault. Putin was driving.
We’ll send her right after we bounce these low life’s out in November!
Surprised anyone? No wonder more and more of the world hates us.
😡
Why should they, just asking...
How can she being a mother live with herself knowing that she killed another mother’s child? She needs to turn herself in.
Never mind. There’s a special place in hell for that murderer hiding behind diplomatic immunity
To the family of the British teen killed in a wrong-way crash: True Americans apologize for the unacceptable behavior displayed in the top levels of our US government. Due to illegal Russian involvement in our last election, we now have criminals holding those offices.
Of course, she could have blown up a bus and still would have gotten away with it. Government officials act as if th r y are untouchable and are above everyone. They'll never give her up even if Achilles and his army marched in at the gates.
Am i missing something? She was at fault and killed someone. How is she not being held responsible?! Other than her privilege I mean.
Good
TrueFactsStated Its tragic & messed-up, but this is how this was always going to go down. Its not even a Trump thing, nobody turns over their people if they don't have to. If the situation were reversed, the British wouldn't give us their person either.
I’ve said this and my heart goes out to his love ones. But even if the similar would have happened in the US, the British gov knows they wouldhave acted the same way and so would any other country.. it’s a signed international treaty and that’s the end of it..Rest in Peace Harry
😡
State sanctioned murder. *Gasp*
USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸USA
Take responsibility for your actions, woman.
That’ll put the USA in good with our Allies, huh!
TrueFactsStated We're protecting murderers, now?
Ridiculous
Shame on us. Diplomatic immunity should not prevail in this situation. This woman needs to take responsibility for her actions. She is a coward and a disgrace to the country.
Britain has to Bow to USA . Way to Live in this World.
As an American, I’m disappointed. She needs to be sent back. Hopefully England quietly puts out an international arrest warrant. Maybe they can catch her a few years down the road when she takes a vacation out of the country. Unfortunately, our state department set a precedent
Let this have been the other way around. It would have been a huge crime and betrayal.
So she just gets off for killing their son? That’s reprehensible & shameful.
Absolutely disgusting; the American government should be ashamed of themselves for this
Don’t they drive on the left side though?
Anne Sacoolas, Age 42, wife of a U.S. Diplomat, Who Killed a British Teenager in England and then fled the Country, needs to be Extadited to England to be held Accountable for her Crime! Trump is refusing to return her to England! What if it were your Son she Killed?
How much did they pay Trump?
The UK needs to issue an arrest warrant for her. This warrant can be enforced in any country outside the U.S. especially the British Commonwealth countries. BTW, why didn't NBC news list the name of the diplomat's wife? She's accused of a crime & should be identified to the U.S.
TrueFactsStated That's disgusting
Any honorable human being would have stayed in UK instead of escaping to US under diplomatic immunity.
TrueFactsStated Gross
Ah we are obstructing justice around the world, how trump. Diplomatic immunity should not extend to help acitizen avoid facing charges for their wrong doing.
TrueFactsStated not ok
So wrong.
She gets away with murder. How disgusting!!! Oh but karma will get her.
Shame on those diplomats that us the United Nations get out of jail card. What about those crimes that has happened here? Where is the out cry for that taking of an innocent life is wrong but immunity is used alot but it is a shame. Sorry for the young Englishman's death.
Trump will be blamed for this 1961 law!!
The US is protecting her as though she were a Saudi.
Business as usual for the trump administration
America is a country full of garbage people so I'm not really surprised.
Total garbage. If the situation was reversed we’d expect extradition.
Dear 🇺🇸, How did you fall so hard? Just... sad. Signed, Your friends
Disgusting. She shouldn’t have even been eligible for diplomatic immunity in the first place.
Then you shall not have Assange. ... 🙂
Oh dear. Not good.
I hope she doesn't kill more people by driving
Something tells me if the situation were reversed, and the wife of a British diplomat hit and killed an American, Trump and his administration would have quite a different view
Bullies. That's just wrong and disgusting but,alas,not unexpected.
America would have asked for extradition if was the other way round
Shame on United States
