Diplomatic Immunity exists as protection against vindictive actions from the host government. It's one measure to help protect against individuals becoming pawns in a tit-for-tat battle between their governments. When it is abused it's usually small scale transgressions like avoiding parking tickets. It is not meant to protect people accused of killing a citizen of the host country.
The U.S. are sticking two fingers up at us and completely abusing this privilege. Yes, legally they are in the clear and politically too since they know we can't do anything about it. Just really infuriating.
