NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — An American diplomat who police say was speeding crossed the center line in his SUV and rammed into a full mini-bus, killing a father of three whose widow is six months pregnant, officials said Friday.
U.S. Embassy officials in Nairobi rushed the American and his family out of Kenya the next day, leaving the crash victims with no financial assistance to pay for a funeral and for hospital bills for the eight or so others who were seriously injured.

That’s a bunch of BS.
odumbo will apologize on the six o’clock news ...
You’d be right on this one too.
What was the line from “Lethal Weapon 2”?
“Diplomatic Immunity...”
He’s got diplomatic immunity
He’s got a lethal weapon that nobody sees
Sorta reminiscent of how Satanley Ann’s baby-daddy died...
Diplomatic immunity, the old Chappaquiddick defense.
Maybe may be not I would not trust any crash reporting from 3rd world countries. All they see is dollar signs when a foreigner is involved in some thing like this
Dagnabit! Stanley Ann! Preview is my friend. *sigh*
Compliments of th greatest leader in the world—King Obama!
And the dr listed on the Lucas Smith birth certificate And the missionary who may have had first hand knowledge of O’s birth ! Oh I forgot she had a bullet in the head first !!
No. You got it right the first time.
Justice should be absolute, not proportional to your wealth. A poor guy makes a mistake, nothing happens, a rich guy makes a mistake, they take him for what he is worth and throw him in jail.
I see the same thing happening all the time at a different level: If you are “poor”, you don’t have to have a driver’s license, you don’t have to have insurance, you don’t have to inspect your car, you don’t have to register your car, you don’t have to pay tickets. If you are “rich”, you have have to do all these things, or they take you for what you are worth, and throw you in jail.
It’s stealing, plain and simple. It’s taking from the rich, and giving to the poor. It’s “democracy”.

I hought that was an editorial comment!
What is a bunch of BS?
The American driver of the SUV, Joshua Walde, was an information management officer at the Nairobi embassy when he got in the crash on his way home the evening of July 11. He gave a statement to police but because he has diplomatic immunity he was not detained.
The U.S. government is concerned about the impact the accident could have on U.S.-Kenya relations, a U.S. government official said. The official noted that embassy employees are typically evacuated for medical evaluations after traumatic events but also are flown out of a country to avoid any possible retribution or attacks from others involved in an accident.
Walde is an 11-year employee of the State Department who has worked in Kazakhstan, Uruguay and Croatia. Shortly after the crash, Walde updated his work history on the networking site LinkedIn to put his time in Nairobi in the past tense, from July 2012 to July 2013. After the Facebook group noticed the updated resume and pointed to that as evidence that Walde would not return to face charges or help victims, the LinkedIn account was deleted, though a cached version is still available through Google.
