You better watch the video, those ladettes hang them out all the time like only Brittish boozers can do. This is not Ibiza after all and they behave worse than a chinese grouptour.

 

They should have gone to Spain, guess they learned that now.

But why did they arrest the  men ?

Looks like a joke with a cardboard figure. Not much of a joke, but it surely don´t look real.

I go for the cardboard figure

She says "he drunk"  "he behaved badly" "he had seen other women"

Whatever he did - whatever anyone does - can never be an excuse for doing what she did. 

I heard it happens often in this country - how deluded are those women?

I would expect if a woman does this - and then sees what she had done she would regret (because reality can be different then what she thought) and try to help.

But taking the member to a bin ! Shows how cold blooded and loveless those people are.

My thoughts exactly.......very serious public crime and going nowhere.That's why i mentioned complicit/

cop involvement somewhere!

 

think so, too.

But seems justice was served to Tony Kenway.

See this killer as an inofficial executioner. 

More effective than Thai justice system. There are more missions available that could make Thailand a better place I think.

misleading headline

should be:

"Van on the wrong lane caused accident with oncoming car"

So what should he have done then slowed down and stalled it on the hill making all other traffic go round onto the other lane? Those coaches' crawl uphill when fully loaded

What should he have done?

1. not cross the middle line
2. not overtake in that area
3. not overtake another bus
4. not go there with a bus
5. not drive at all (most important)

The locals will be grateful for the new car park and the new market area

sorry Thian, not meant as an answer to your post. I just messed up.

well done police. Time that all this easy to get angry scum (Thailand seems to have a lot of them) learns that they cannot do their villainy unobserved anymore. Of course appropriate punishment is neccessary, too.

I am surprised that not more accidents happen at police checkpoints. They are an obstacle and there is no warning ahead. Sometimes you have to slow down because there suddenly  is an unexpected congestion

Did they check his blood and urine for drugs?

"... the case that he allegedly fired gunshots into the air during a concert "

allegdely? what is there allegded? - I think there are videos

The red shirts have always been quiet when the principle of elections and the outcome of elections was respected.

 

have they?

I understand they have been quiet when it served their purpose to have their people in power. And have a corrupt government again as they please

You may notice a few "black shirts" firing rifles from the red shirt ranks.

 

watching the video again. Being reminded who and what the reds really are - I still prefer a junta, because I never want to hear again about those thugs (and their master)

let them elect a government only if it will  keep the reds in check

Lifelong loyalty to a party is an oxymoron to democracy. They are showing their true face again.

No, simple facts. The great number of deaths were caused by people being shot by soldiers.

 

The people who gave authority for soldiers to shoot at protesters should be in prison for a very long time.

 

It is worth remembering that at this time there were serious street protests in Greece . At no time did the Greek government ask or give permission to the army to break up the protests by firing live rounds.

Probably the army had no need to defend themselves. Otherwise I am not sure ...

If "those people"  did not give  authority for soldiers to shoot at "protesters" who shot at soldiers they should be in prison for a very long time.

You don't really know what happened, nor do I.

My opinion is based on observation of the government who kept peaceful until the end and of the "protesters" who provoked every day and only failed in the end with their coupe.

During the time before and during their occupation they were provoking violence and I wouldn't be surprised if they even wanted victims in their strategy.

Seeing it different is one sided. I am just saying the likelihood to be guilty of killing is against the reds.

If proof is given for the opposite I will gladly admit.

"The fire positions taken up by the troops at the Pathuwanaram temple shootings were clearly selected to allow an unrestricted field of fire into a location known to be being used as a refuge for unarmed civilians."

might be. But I am not sure. It was an area occupied by law breakers.  People in the area have been warned that force might have to be applied. They had their chance ro leave. They decided otherwise.  And are you sure that there was not one in that "refuge for unarmed civilians" who shot first? Are you sure they were really unarmed civilians? As a military commander in that situation wouldn't. Which doesn't mean I would open fire for no reason.

To be honest I don't know what really happened (same as you, I guess) but having observed the "peaceful protest" over the long time they unlawfully occupied a public area, with armed "protesters" under the command of a general, their propaganda  and their overall behavior during that time, (inciting to burn down Bangkok, storming a hospital and so on)  I believe  it to be more likely the violence came from them first.

It would be interesting to know just how many top cops / senior cops have been transferred in the last 12 months, at a guess at least 100.

 

A serious indicator of the overall quality of the RTP. 

And a serious indicator that there are efforts to improve - even if slowly.

But who knows what is possible in this system. Better than doing nothing anyway.

Again a move to the better.

But why they are not sacked and taken to court is beyond me.

Still much to improve

If you give, you give. 

 

After that, your involvement is over. 

You don't want to get it.

When you give you give with a purpose.

Otherwise you can throw the money out of the window. 

When you give to a beggar you give because your heart has been touched. 

If you  your gift is abused you are betrayed.

Congratulations. May he use it wisely.

"...Laemthong, 77, was in a chair with a .38 gun still in his right hand "

sounds fishy. Normally the gun will not be in the hand after suicide - it is tossed of by the repercussion.

Typical scenario for a murder cover up.

No. 

 

Its not. 

 

It’s not right, it’s not particularly nice, however it’s ripping no one off. 

 

People give because they want to help. What the beggar does with the money, freely given is up to them. 

 

 

they give because they want to help somebody in need. 

They don't give to provide partying, alcohol, hookers, air travel and drugs

So we agree: he didn’t rip anyone off. 

seems you did not read what I wrote

 And when they give money  because they want to help, 

using it for a luxury life style - this  is ripping off.

you're right.

But deceiving kind hearted people by pretending to be in an emergency when you are not is not right.

And that is the reason why people might not approve of him.

He does not need begging. He is capable to travel the world. He had jobs. He could find work if he wanted. His leg is ugly but does not make him disabled. 

If he could not find work in Germany he would be taken care of by the government. Obviously he decided that scamming people is easier.
