    The murder was not a consequence of her actions otherwise every man and woman who were unfaithful would be murdered. Her tragic death is caused by a sick, twisted inadequate excuse for a man and apologists like you who seek to blame victims.

    Sorry my man you are wrong because we all react differently to any situation, thus we get different outcomes

    Your actions can have dire consequences with some people, as in this case

    It's a cruel world when it comes home to roost

    I'm well aware of real life, I've lived it long enough, and hopefully for a bit longer yet. 

    As for this murder, I am simply saying "don't blame the victim" what ever she did, had done, and planned on doing, being murdered wasn't her doing / fault. 

    It's a bit like our intelligent leader's comment, "if you're attractive and wear a bikini, it's your fault if you get raped" 

     

    As usual I have a good day every day, just about to head out for a relaxing lunch with a couple of friends to engage in some meaningful discussions which won't include victim blaming for being murdered. 

    I am not going to reiterate my opinion / position on these events simply because they have not changed, and without checking I am going to assume that my Posts are still there for your viewing

    Now my man as far as I am concerned this is a "DEAD" end thread and it is best left that way before we step on somebodies toes

    The reason this thread has popped up on the notifications after approx a month is because a fellow member has quoted an old Post

    At first I thought "YES" an update but not to be

    Maybe I have missed some events / news / updates on these events if so hopefully you can help me out by updating yours truly

    It appears to me that its waiting for the attention of whoever

    Far be it from me to suggest anything is not quite above board here

    If you do by any chance happen upon "Wallop" do kindly inform the RTP

    Yes my man, it's a cruel world if you come from the wrong side of the tracks

    You are correct,  When I travel by plane, which is often, I always book wheelchair assistance as I experience difficulty with walking, especially the distances that are often encountered at airports.  It actually works in my favour because I usually circumvent the long lines at Immigration.

     

    'nuf sed

    This poor chap "CANNOT" walk that's a little more than experiencing difficulty in walking

    The airline does not provide personal care now does it, so how would that bridge be crossed

    I will tell you, you don't cross that bridge because you wont be allowed to fly on a schedule flight

    Most Travel Insurance policies that I have examined only cover for a maximum of 31 days in any one trip. 

    You dont buy off the peg you buy exactly want you want, at one time in my life I had Travel insurance coverage for many months at a time

    Applicable world wide apart from the USA, I could never work out why 55555555

    It came in handy just the once and it cost Norwich Union an absolute packet

    better still someone come from the UK and take him home, so he is in a wheelchair and can't talk, how does that stop him from flying

    Try that with Emirates, when I was recovering from Guillain- Barre Syndrome the only way they would let me fly was if I could walk from the entrance door to my seat

    There was no problem in any of the airports KL, Dubai or Heathrow wheel chair or electric buggy all the way, last off and last on though 5555555

    There seems to be plenty of experienced accident investigation experts in this forum that were at the scene. Credentials and your report please.

    This is just another case, one of many I am afraid of the lack of any kind of driving / riding skills or road sense

    No special experience needed to recognize stupidity and the all encompassing death wish

    It takes dedication on a large scale to produce 25,000 plus dead on an annual basis

    When approaching traffic lights, its a safe assumption that scores of vehicles will jump the lights a number of seconds after the light has turned red... 

    ... When riding my motorcycle its a safe assumption that a car will turn across my path...  I don't know they will, but I assume they might...

     

    All par for the course in Thailand... 

     

    In this case...  we don't know the bike jumped the light and can only judge on experience and probability given our experience. Without further proof we can only speculate.

     

    I'd speculate that the bike went through a red light. I speculate that it was too late for the car to stop at the lights as it changed to amber. I can see the car cut across the bike. 

     

    If this were 'car on car' one car turns right, another coming towards him jumps the light they collide... 50/50...  50% blame on the vehicle jumping the light, 50% blame on the vehicle committed to turning right when the road was not 100% clear and he assumed the bike would stop for the light. 

     

    Just because a motorcycle was involved I don't think fault is diminished for jumping the light (if it could be proven). 

     

    What about turning left??? - the amount of times I am about to turn left and have to emergency brake for the motorcycle riding down the pavement and across my path, or the motorcycle cutting up my inside.... On both occasions the road is not 100% clear to make the maneuver... however, IMO the motorcycle would clearly be 100% to blame in these scenarios...

     

    Thus, It could be argued that in jumping the lights (if the motorcycle actually did jump the lights) that the motorcycle is primarily to blame... 

     

    All in all, this is an interesting debate on the varying options of road users.... 

    The only option is to use your brain, then some people would live to drive / ride another day
