File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 He should have waited until they put him in an orange jumpsuit before he shot them.

#3 Update
President Barack Obama's national security advisor has threatened to boot Pakistan's ambassador Husain Haqqani from the country if a US official arrested in Lahore was not released by Friday, ABC News said. Citing two Pakistani officials, ABC News said late Thursday that National Security Advisor Tom Donilon made the threat after summoning Haqqani to the White House on Monday.

He also warned US consulates in Pakistan may be closed and an upcoming visit to Washington by Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari could be cancelled if US official Raymond Davis was not freed.

So, let's see if Bambi just dances around there with his feather duster or is serious. Today will tell.

#4 Please correct me if I'm wrong, but some time back, iirc, a Georgian diplomatic employee while DUI killed a Virginian. The US sought and received a waiver from Georgia to prosecute. If you want a 'free kill' license, just remember there are a heck of a lot more foreign diplomatic personnel in the US than we have overseas, most of whom are here because of who they know back home and therefore unlikely to face any real consequences for their actions here.

#5 the slain man's pistol had been examined

What are gun control laws like in Lahore? Do they require concealed carry permits? Did the 'victim' have one? Did the other victim also have a gun?

no round was in the chamber ready to fire

And Davis was supposed to be able to know this? Even when the gun is pointed straight at you that barrel is dark and hard to see into.
