By all accounts, Davis was acting in self-defense and should be released on that basis alone. Moreover, all diplomats are immune to prosecution for crimes committed in their host country, to avoid being used as a hostage. While Davis did nothing wrong, he should also be released immediately given his diplomatic immunity.
If the situation were reversed, and America was detaining a foreign national who was subject to diplomatic immunity, it would be a major news story in this country. The left and its media friends would denounce America, and you would hear about why America needs to live up to its international obligations so its diplomats can receive commensurate treatment in their host countries.
But there is no outrage by the left when America is on the receiving end of abusive treatment.
