No, if you commit a crime in a city you are not immune from prosecution, unless of course you have diplomatic immunity. That is a different story. The country would pay the price one way or another for the damage done, the diplomat would be sent home, and presumably once home would be disciplined.
As for CalExit, we have a serious problem with energy. There is an established economy that is based on fossil fuel. Any of a number of reasonable remedies to encourage renewable energy like solar and wind, while at the same time addressing the pollution of carbon emitters will hurt the bottom line of those currently in power. We are in the midst of an energy revolution and like all revolutions it means those at the top are now headed to the bottom. They resist that move. It is much easier for those without an investment in the current economy to see the clear and logical solution.
The fossil fuel industry was under the assumption that they had until 2050, even quite recently they thought they had until 2030, but the Titanic is already starting to list in the water and it is only 2017.
