Yeah, that is what they say. He is not a U.S. citizen. The conditions he is being held under have been observed by multiple witnesses, and they are appalled. He won’t survive, which is what the global powers want.
I struggle to believe what she did was reckless rather than careless. The police haven’t said she wad drunk or anything. It does look like she was merely careless and this was largely an accident, but you are still accountable if someone dies because you were not doing what you should have been doing.
I disagree. She can be truly sorry for the sad accident, but not naive enough to place herself at the hands of the U.K. government.
There is no legitimate “music to face” because it was a sad accident. She is not legally or morally bound to accommodate the views of others. Not wanting to do pointless jail time is an appropriate response from a remorseful but intelligent person.
The more these parents push, the more they disgust me.
So the news media is spinning this like it was a hit and run. I know from living in England it is very easy to get into trouble.
I was brief if you catch someone robbing your house, you should help them carry the TV out so they don’t hurt their back and sue you.
You can be arrested for carry a steak knife set from the store to your house... Very crazy legal system.
One can be truly sorry for a sad accident, but not stupid enough to place oneself at the mercy of a foreign government’s ‘justice’ system.
One can’t force a sincere apology anyway.
What part of what is happening to Assange is happening are you struggling to believe? That he is subject to extradition proceedings in the US and that he skipped bail for years holed up in the Venuzualan embassy are demonstrable facts, and I notice Trump hasn’t done anything to halt these proceedings. As for why he is in protective custody, you can imagine why they might want to ensure his safety considering the conspiracy theories that would surface if he was murdered.
Of course they can.
Ok, so how would you feel if someone from the UK visiting the us killed your son because they were driving on the wrong side of the road, and then they ran off to the UK to escape justice. You would be relaxed about that, and accept an apology from them whilst they sat from a place they were assured they were safe from justice? You’d be cool with That?
I’m not “struggling” with believing what they are doing to Assange. I am APPALLED.
And it wasn’t the ‘Venuzualan’ embassy. It was the Ecuadorian embassy. There is much further info about what was done to him that the MSM doesn’t report.
Ah yes, ‘conspiracy theories’. That CIA-created term used in an attempt to dispel CIA nefarious activities. I am not firmly entrenched in MSM-created reality.
The have painted lines already, and arrows, and words that caution to look the other way when crossing a street.
I would be sad, would have properly understood the law, and grieved quietly.
There is no legal justice “to escape”.
You would be more assured that the apology was sincere if she voluntarily returned to the UK to let justice take its course, otherwise it is hollow and shows you aren’t really sorry at all if you aren’t prepared to risk a few lousy months in prison for it.
Your comment is ridiculously incoherent. You just want to argue. Get lost.
“Our courts have no jurisdiction over British traffic offenses.”
Yup. . .but back in the day in the UK, I got a speeding ticket from the local cop and the local magistrate sent the ticket to the Texas DMV. . .they were quite surprised when the Texas DMV actually sent the ticket back and politely told them that Texas does not recognize their motor-vehicle laws and any alleged violations thereof, should be prosecuted where the violation occurred.
In your opinion. My opinion vastly differs. One can be genuinely sorry but not stupid enough to place oneself at the mercy of a foreign government. If that doesn’t satisfy the parents, that is just too bad. IMO, of course.
Personally, I would not accept an apology, nor forgive them until they submitted themselves to justice. The parents aren’t even demanding she be locked up, just that she should face the justice system and account for her actions. If she can’t do That, then she isn’t truly sorry if she can’t face the risk of spending a few lousy weeks in a prison that is like a holiday camp compared to the average us one.
Personally, I think that crimes commuted in one country that are also crimes in the other country should be enforced, and I’m pretty sure speeding is an offence in Texas too.
You reply. . .didn’t you didn’t catch the subtle banter about wrong-side vs right-side of faucetman?
Did you have a “moment” once you came back to the states and got confused about what side you should drive on when driving in a parking lot. That got me a time or two and many people I know as well.
If you drive a Brit car then the issues of what side never really come up.
I lived in the UK for roughly 4.5yrs.
And yes, they do drive on the wrong side (humor check). . .they don’t care though. . .luv the Brits, except you can be busted for drunk driving and never get in your car. . .if you are drunk and your car keys are in your pocket and you are not in your car or near it, bam, you are arrested for drunk driving.
That would be your right, to not accept her apology or forgive her. They have no legal or moral right to demand anything from her. If she chooses not to accommodate their demands, and don’t accept her apology or forgive her, that is on them, not her. Serving any amount of time in a foreign jail just to appease them is absurd, and will not bring back their son.
IMO, they just want blood and/or money, and/or their 15 min of fame.
