This begs the question ...

Do you think the police would have arrested these guys if the footage hadn't been leaked?

This question creates another question ...

Why did the police just now arrest these criminals if they had the video for two weeks before the leak?

Courageous men ... huh? Great face for them I'm sure.

Was she drunk when she ordered the attack ... and the gang drunk? Hope so. Then a Wai ... so sorry ... and a small fine will do.

It amazes me that Thai men have no personal issues with gang violence on small women and old people. Apparently being a coward isn't an issue for them. Terrible loss of face for men in gangs to do this.

The legal consequence to these kind of crimes is a disgrace to the Thai legal system.

I love France and have French friends ... but the <deleted> French politicians really make me angry. IMO, they are just a bunch of incompetent, ineffective, inept aristocrats or egocentrics with old school-tie connections that are contributing to the downfall of the European Union and jeopardizing national security across the continent.

Seems any illegal migrant of Muslim persuasion can just say <deleted> off and the government will say OK ... OK ... no problem ... What do you want?

This whole debacle was allowed by the French government and should be remedied and paid for by the French government.

Full justice under Thai law .... The Thai justice system is very relaxed on these type of crimes. It's usually a Wai ... so sorry ... and a small fine when the police actually go out and find the perpetrators. Being drunk is a legitimate defense to avoid accountability for the committed crime.

It took 24 hours for the police to know about this? Where were they? It is very hard to believe the hospital or a citizen DID NOT contact the police within the first three hours after the attack.

Regardless of the opinions ... Why would it be necessary for a gang of five or six men to brutally assault pensioners, and a woman pensioner at that? Sounds like the group were planning to do something like that.

Gang attacks on old people is not normal behavior in any society.

Thailand's Karma. The police have ignored crime or opted for "Wai ... so sorry" punishment so long, crime is getting out of control so much so it makes international news.

Knowing how to enforce laws, or simply the political will to enforce rules and regulations is a real conundrum for the authorities here.

This is like a weather report in the old days ... you old timers will remember with a smile. "There may be a bit of rain here and there in the south while we may expect patches of sun in the Midlands and possible snow flurries in Scotland."

Whatever your feelings about Brexit, this is an interesting read.

It's not just social media. This is a piece of paper with a photo of a foreign national, his residence, bank account, auto description, and places frequently visited.

It would be very easy for someone to take an iPhone photo and sell the information to criminal gangs who could stalk a foreign national resident, kidnap him or a family member and empty their bank account. It seems to happen quite often as it is.

There are a lot of things worth dying for ... BUT

A a love spat with a woman damn sure ain't one of them.

He can't he charged with premeditated. He didn't think about or plan to kill someone. Which I believe are prerequisites for that charge. I don't believe it will matter anyway. This guy's too rich to ever see the inside of a prison. More likely, he will become a monk for a couple months to atone for his actions and make a lot of payoffs to the families to get the pressure off of him.

Prosecutor's trick. If the prosecution wants to let someone off the hook he files charges that can be proven untrue.

Manslaughter will result in a conviction. Negligent Homicide will result in a conviction. Homicide with a motor vehicle will result in a conviction. Premeditated murder won't.

I've come to the conclusion the management of the BTS really don't give a damn about what people think.

I've thought this for a very long time.

Hillary put a brilliant spin on the corporate elite. They are actually ... VICTIMS !

Perhaps there should be a public movement against the victimization of corporate CEOs.

Tax avoidance and tax evasion are two different things.

Tax evasion is for the little fish. ... Tax avoidance is for the big fish.

Governments world-wide have made tax avoidance legal via offshore companies and tax loopholes.

BUT ... the public will buy this BS and will be happy eating it.

Angela Merkel is disgusting.

Why did this make me laugh?

They are racing all the time late night on Pyiathai Road ... Ratchatewi BTS to Phyathai BTS to Victoria Monument

I lived in Germany for a lot of years and it was known the Turks in Germany were in organized crime but it was very low key, unlike the Italian Mafia in New York. But, just like in New York, the Turkish Mafia in Germany has been tolerated by authorities for a very long time. Now this live and let live ... leave the migrants alone mindset is coming back to bite Germany in the a**. They went after the Neo-Nazis with more fervor than the Turkish gangs. Hell, they went after driving law violators with more conviction.

NRA response ... It's Will Smith's fault. If he had an M-60 in his front seat he wouldn't have been killed.

Very old story.

Uncensored Feed has had a page on FB over a year now on Peshmerga forces.

Interesting it took so long to get Euronews' attention over all the fluff news they put out.

RTP want's face ... Immigration Police want to save face.

Now that's the way to operate national security.
