They were far from successful in routing him out, it took two years and why are the police having a full review of their procedures now if they felt they've got nothing to learn?

whataboutism, he wasn't sacked in 2019

Yes I know and why the Police have promised a full review of their procedures

Ok well I do understand that a police officer who while serving repeatedly annoyed colleagues and the public with belligerent behavior including shooting while drunk and shooting a dog dead. should draw the attention as to why this was allowed to go on for so long, particularly since he had another court case due the day after he carried out the attack.

Yes but I could also go to other countries and cite different cases where cops are immediately suspended, this is about this cop in Thailand

May be because in 2019 while a serving police officer it was discovered that Panya was in possession of yaba (meth amphetamine mixed with caffeine) and he was prosecuted for possession. But it was not until January of this year that he was suspended and then sacked in June. He still was getting his drugs from another ex cop

Its certainly funny that some prominent posters have made this thread their home due to their hatred of Biden, forgetting that Trump was much worse when rambling off script.

Yea right, what about Russian media then are they also gaslighting........???? Russian state TV says traps are being set up for those who try to leave Russia to evade mobilization

The same institute, SAS world rankings per capita 50: Thailand 15.1 per 100 people 142: Philippines 3.6 per 100 people

Did'nt Prayut mention transistor radio and battries a couple of days ago re the floods. May be he knows something we don't. Lol

Ukraine war: Biden says nuclear risk highest since 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis The risk of a nuclear "Armageddon" is at its highest level since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, US President Joe Biden has said. Mr Biden said Russia's President Vladimir Putin was "not joking" when he spoke of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering setbacks in Ukraine. However, the US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan last week said that, despite Moscow's nuclear hints, the US had seen no signs that Russia was imminently preparing to use a nuclear weapon. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63167947

T.A.T. will put its own spin on it somehow....?

Putin and the prince: fears in west as Russia and Saudi Arabia deepen ties Nearly eight months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, relations between Riyadh and Moscow are at a high point. As much of Europe, the US and the UK double down on attempts to combat an ever more menacing Russian leader, Prince Mohammed has instead chosen to deepen ties. “Putin sees this as new world order stuff, and thinks he can bring MBS along with him,” said the British official. “The Saudis sit on a very powerful asset in oil, which still has a strategic role to play. Don’t write off carbon as a political tool for decades. MBS knows the optics of being seen to help out Putin, but he doesn’t care. Neither are progressive liberals. They see leadership through the same lens.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/05/putin-mohammed-bin-salman-russia-saudi-arabia-deepen-ties

Kim's last letter to Trump, kinda of broke of their love affair ???? “As of now, it is very difficult for me and my people to understand the decision and behavior of you and South Korean authorities,” read Kim’s letter, dated Aug. 5, 2019. Kim expressed how “offended” he was by the “paranoid” war exercises jointly conducted by the U.S. and South Korean soldiers. “As your excellency indicated at some point, we have a strong military … and it is a matter of common knowledge that the [South Korean] armed forces are no match for our military,” Kim added.

Yes read that, heavy rain and a broken down school bus fortunately led to many less children there than should have been

Aren't there normally packs of soi dogs at many temples? Perhaps those monks could leave his body to them.

Guns are rampant in Thailand, even if mass shootings aren’t. But Thailand, a majority Buddhist country of about 69 million, has some of Asia’s highest rates of gun ownership and gun homicide. It is also a key underground market for firearms in Southeast Asia, and experts say that many unregistered weapons have been brought in from neighboring countries. “Thailand is seen as the region’s principal arms black market, followed by Cambodia and Vietnam,” according to gunpolicy.org. Mass shootings are rare in Thailand, but in a country with millions of firearms, the authorities have long worried about the potential for more gun violence. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/06/world/asia/thailand-shootings-guns-firearms.html

Ukraine's New Offensive Is Fueled by Captured Russian Weapons “The Russians no longer have a firepower advantage. We smashed up all their artillery units before launching the offensive, and then we started to move ahead so fast that they didn’t even have time to fuel up and load their tanks,” said the officer. “They just fled and left everything behind.” Combined with weapons taken during Russia’s retreat from Kyiv and other parts of northern Ukraine in April, these recent gains have turned Moscow into by far the largest supplier of heavy weapons for Ukraine, well ahead of the U.S. or other allies in sheer numbers, according to open-source intelligence analysts. Western-provided weapons, though, are usually more advanced and precise. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukraine-s-new-offensive-is-fueled-by-captured-russian-weapons/ar-AA12CIDc

Splits definitely going on The Wagner Private Military Company today launched its own private Telegram channel, indicating that Wagner financier Yevgeny Prigozhin may want a voice that is clearly his own to compete with milbloggers and possibly Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov. https://understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-6 RIFTS OPEN UP AT THE TOP In an unprecedented sign of infighting in the higher echelons of the government, the Kremlin-backed regional leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has scathingly criticized the top military brass, accusing them of incompetence and nepotism. Kadyrov blamed Col. Gen. Alexander Lapin for failing to secure supplies and reinforcements for his troops that led to their retreat from Lyman. He declared that the general deserves to be stripped of his rank and sent to the front line as a private to “wash off his shame with his blood.” https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-putin-6ef2407371c67f0736459378833fab7a

LOL, this is just a leak, he's not even been charged yet and you've got him down as guilty already and speculating on pardons!

Oh don't, that's heartbreaking.....???? The only ray of hope is that the child will recover in time both physically and emotionally

I stand by my post in its entirety

If thats your only takeaway from my post then you missed entirely the message. So I will leave it there.

My wife tried to show me photos of the scene as it broke, I saw one, that was enough, didn't want to see anymore, awful unimaginable horror. My heart goes out to the victims, survivors, friends and families involved.

Maybe a timely reminder on why Russia started this and how it would like to end it! This piece and video is not some, tv pundit, lowly official or journalist but Russian General and Deputy Defense Committee Chairman Vladimir Shamanov, one of Putin's henchmen The script below is from me copying what he said from the video in parts but its English subtitled to. It echos Putin's Peter the Great Speech where its clearly not anything to do with NATO "Our nation was built through territorial enlargement outside of the boundaries of our nation, regardless of the nationality, that person is Russian. We stand far apart from other nations, surpassing all others, our superiority is recognized worldwide We'll need to take 20 - 40 years changing one or two generations to fully uproot this disease, it won't be easy, it has to be under our control, no need to delude ourselves that somebody else will do this for us. Thinking Ukrainians would greet us with flowers was one of the main mistakes, we felt it in the first 5 days. We don't know the future mindset of the population, or our future relations with neighbouring countries. A long time period is ahead of us when we will be the only ones present in Ukraine, because we have to fully demilitarize Ukraine and this is not a simple issue, it will take 5 to 10 years. Secondly its denazification which will be happening simultaneously and the formation of the government."
