Getting both sides of the story is irrelevant, the police represent the state and have power, they are foreigners and have none. If they are hoping for an unbiased trial western style they are in for a big disappointment, what they did was foolish in the extreme. Refusing to stop was arrogant and things escalated from there, the RTP can't let this go, the loss of face alone was enormous, they are bound to be locked up for years.

Whose that man with a loaded gun Whose that man riding in the sun Killed his wife but he loved his son Psycho dad, psycho dad, psycho dad.

Kids on holiday, rocking each other higher. disrespectful yes certainly, not only to the guard but also towards the UK's traditions but hardly criminal. These guards are trained to withstand such bad manners and experience such rudeness on a daily basis, not just from Americans but from UK citizens as well, some times jovial other times less so, the situation shouldn't be exaggerated, they had their childish fun and got a ticking off, end of story.

The 1% rule in every country, if you control the markets you control decisions made by government, a generals power pales into insignificance against a falling stock market. People only rebel when their comfort zone is threatened.

Indeed, that is what the transgenders say, they were born that way. I doubt that this man chose to be this way, nobody chooses their sexuality, presumably that would also include pedophiles, their fault is carrying out actions to satisfy their desires.

I'm sure he could have picked a better looking one but it was dark at the time.

No chance, nothing better than getting honest adoration when returning home, both competing for my attention by showing me how fantastic I am, they should make women like that.

My dogs started doing that to my car, at first I was baffled but it turned out I had a mouse family under the carpets underneath the rear seat. I live in Isaan and the car was parked next to my rice barn. Once I got rid of the mice the attacks stopped.

and Charly is English, you could germanize it with Tscharly but really it would be Karl

Normal dogs don't attack a human being, yes they will bark and maybe chase a bike but that is all. when I first started walking around the lake here all the dogs from the adjacent houses would bark at me and sometimes follow me barking, I remained calm, after 4 or 5 visits they realized I wasn't a danger and ignored me. once while sitting on the ground looking over the lake one of them came over and unceremoniously dumped itself on my lap wagging its tail.

I have two run of the mill Thai mongrel dogs from the temple, they kill any cat unlucky enough to stray into my garden but lick my wife's grand kids (toddlers) until they fall over giggling. They don't like strangers coming into my house and will bark until I show them they are welcome, that's pretty normal behaviour.

One can sue for wrongful arrest, in fact the police only seem to react when threatened with a lawyer or publicity, there is an organization that will take on cases for free if it's in the public interest. A police officer having a son who is a murderer........bad news for him. Anyone know what is happening to the perps?

There is something wrong with a child if it doesn't rebel as a teen, the form it takes is important and sometimes a matter of luck. It was Oscar Wilde who said, "I'm not young enough to know everything."

Poverty has a lot of levels, a 'poverty' income in Europe would class him as comfortably off. Being homeless in Thailand is a lot more comfortable than being homeless in Europe, if one is resourceful a Thai wont starve.

Well reading the full story he seems at least to have done a good job in the posts he occupied, corruption on his watch would be normal in any province but that doesn't mean he is involved although that would be unusual, the public needs a scapegoat.

Well it's a start. Controlling teens at a rebellious age can be difficult but their horrific crime points to other, more serious things, that have gone wrong with their upbringing, this went way beyond bike racing and fighting. The parents are probably at the low end of society where even prison wouldn't cause a change of heart.

He's living the dream

Exposing a sham democracy can be dangerous for the powerful but not the nation.

Personally I can't suppress my admiration for him, from a Pizza deliveryman to a rich man with a fortune at 25 takes some doing. He isn't a violent criminal or a scammer screwing over the innocent, he supplied a product people want, naturally Rolex with their overpriced product don't like him, they scam legally.

Why get involved in a school yard fight, there are more pressing problems that both Labour and the Tories will fail miserably at, although to be fair the can has been kicked so far done the road it can't be seen anymore. It would seem that every country is now in or approaching a recession and poverty even in the USA is raising its ugly head.

Whatever, of course he does have a dog in the fight though.

Acquiescence is the silence before the storm, you can't cover a hole in the ground with a tarpaulin and pretend it isn't there, somebody may fall in.

more likely they are making a much bigger problem for themselves, the box has already been opened and the voters don't want it shut.

I don't see it that way, he was attacking Abbot, not black women per se but even if he is racist, those are his opinions and have nothing to do with you, what's all this self righteousness about, there's too much of this woke 'holier than thou' about these days. Some like this, others don't like that, as long as attitudes don't result in violence every one is entitled to a preference. I don't like Katoeys and overt displays of homosexuality make me uncomfortable, so by your definition I'm homophobic but your opinions of me are just that, your opinions, who cares. Many people here express their dislike of Chinese people, does that make them racist? (Oh no! Not racist, how awful) I don't think so, they have a personal opinion about the Chinese, Russians, Israelis and Arabs despite probably never having met one personally, what do I care what they like or dislike, I don't like Ketchup.....awful stuff.

They aren't women, but it seems everyone had a nice time, the not so nice boys won.
