Manic Monday--That's Not How Internatonal Law Works!!

Let's meet---

He's Jerry Carstairs, a radio operator for the FCC!! In his spare time, he puts on a costume with a special microphone that makes his voice sound all loud and scary, "like thunder!"

In this, his very first mission, he's on to some Nazi spies (it's early 1941, and we're not at war with Germany yet--but don't bother telling that to Timely!!). So...it's time to bust up the German embassy!!

Well, that's pretty much the case...except, of course, that you're in the German embassy, and the cops can't go in there, and you've pretty much committed a freaking act of war.

Yes, that is a small detail.

Dude. Dude. I'm no lawyer, but I have seen every episode of Law & Order, so I'm damn close.

And the entire embassy grounds is foreign soil. They don't have to be inside the building. Just leaving them on the front steps accomplishes, well, nothing.

And what does this note say?

"The evidence is in the mail'?!?!? Are you freakin' kidding me?

Even if the police could go on the grounds to arrest them, and even if none of Germans you beat the crap out of had ambassadorial staff status that makes them immune to arrest, I'm pretty sure any arraignment judge is going to immediately release them when the prosecutor says "The evidence
 is in the mail!!"

Thunderer, you are an idiot.

You do sound frightening, though.
