The PAKISTANI PEOPLE for trying to stand up for the truth in the case of the supposed Diplomat (Davis) who shot two people on the streets of a foreign country and then ran over a bystander in yet another “diplomat’s” vehicle as they attempted to get away. The Pakistani people have said it is not a question of monetary compensation but one of DIGNITY.
Davis claimed diplomatic immunity and John Kerry has hurriedly appeared in Pakistan to defend him.
Report thisIt amazes me how this Davis fellow declared himself a ‘consultant’ but Obama has publicly insisted he was indeed a Diplomat. Since when do Diplomats run around in foreign countries carrying weapons? The hypocracy never ceases.
