Suthep Thaugsuban  would have been far worse than the current Junta He believed in destroying everything and everyone that did not agree with him

same same

"distanced himself from directly participating in politics"

and we REALLY believe him 

He can say what he wants but he can never stop nature. Women want money and if  guy has cash what's the problem?  it is of NO BUSINESS of any government to moralize over their citizens and they are all hypocrites anyway.

The whole Mia Noi, Gik pyramid has been made by the Thais and now they must lie in it.

The dead animals were brought into the park for a photo-shoot and the guns were loaned by friends (who are now dead) obviously.

Well tell your Thai friend (porky alert) there are plenty of ways to pay for sex in UK. One of our oldest professions. We don't need no beer bars full of farmers offspring.

True we just get married.

Don't stop there!  What will you do if/when he doesn't?  And lots of other things needs to happen too - a bill has to be drafted, pass various committees, be brought up for vote by majority leaders, and finally passed.

 

Seeing as how we've been here many times before with no subsequent changes, I just don't see all of these things happening.  So far I don't see ANY of them happening.  What then?

Well he could sign an exec order and bypass all the BS?  to answer your other question I don't much care as I'm British and we don't have that problem of people buying assault rifles which, frankly,. is madness.

64 is elderly these days?  still leaving money lying around is asking for it!  get a safe man!

Yea, that's just one of Trump's (and the NRA's) asinine suggestions. There are a slew of reasons why arming teachers is a stupid and dangerous idea.  I would list them here, but don't want to hog too much space on this blog.

 

Probably not another civil (civilian) war, but similar.  Redneck gun huggers would band together in unregulated militias and shoot to kill - if they suspected any folks were trying to disarm them.  Everyone agrees to that, even the '....cold dead fingers' crowd.   As to how severely the problem would escalate, we don't know, but the US is headed in that direction.  No one should doubt that gun-addicts look forward to massive killing sprees which could ensue.  They fantasize about that daily, just as they fantasize about blowing the head off a brown skin kid who happens to try to pry open a window to enter their trailer.

 

 

Without wishing to add to your deflection of the thread but most people would want to defend their property and I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who get's hurt trying to enter someone else's property whether they be black, brown, yellow or pink.

Back on-topic I hope Trump introduces sensible controls and the NRA can go stick their 'cold dead fingers' where the sun don't shine.

i recommend Robert Denham at East Coast Real Estate

http://www.thaiproperty.com

They are one of Pattaya's original Realtors, been around for 20+ years

Robert has many, many condos in his portfolio and is a hard working agent whether buying or selling

 

 

 

Martin at the same company is good too. I recommend East Coast too.

You don't know if he followed SOP or not, the only source for that is the sheriff, who has made some hindsight comments.

Was he informed of the 'SOP'?

That's not true not just the Sheriff please do your research. He was suspended WITHOUT PAY and if he followed SOP's that would not have happened. WITH pay maybe while they investigated but it's SOP to suspend WITHOUT PAY when it's obvious wrong doing has occurred and he RESIGNED rather than face that investigation. If he was right then stay and fight the suspension and save reputation.

We don't have a clue why he resigned.  It may have been a backroom deal to save his pension (and the Sheriff's job).  It may be because he was so traumatized by what happened.  It may be because his wife gave him an ultimatum when she realized that he could have been killed.  It may have been the trigger for him to start that landscaping business he's been dreaming about for the last 10 years.

 

He was suspended without pay. After a long career in senior roles I can assure you the 'without pay' bit is CRUCIAL. They will try and protect him (and the dept.) a bit, as he fell on his sword, by not releasing the video of him cowering with his gun behind a car as kids died.

Its a crime that he has to pay for. seeing all the advice, i realize many people don't follow the law in Thailand 

You mean it's against the archaic law here? yes you are right but it's an absurdity that any government should tell it's citizens what to smoke.

Demeans the political argument to discuss someones physical characteristics, race, gender or anything like that. Yes he brought it up as a self-deprecating 'joke' but still 'it evidently annoys him' is not fair comment. Let's stick to the real issues and the nightmare and find a decent candidate to challenge but I do so admire his two fingers to the PC world.

Where have I said that prostitution is wrong ?

If one of the houses in your village burned down and family lost everything , would you feel that its perfectly acceptable to offer to "give" the Family 1000 Baht , as long as they allowed to have have sex with their daughter ? 

In the village close to me there are no daughters I'm sorry to say. But I do have a little list of where some are:

• uni
• have job in bank or some such respectable place away from said village 
• with bf/gik or as a mia noi (which in Thai terms is also classed as 'respectable' - Thai style)
• with Thai husband after being banged up
• with old farang for 'love' (of course)
• BKK/Pattaya all working as 'waitresses' (none in the bar of course Tsk! Tsk!)

But if the house did burn down and I went to find their daughter I think the going rate is a little more than 1,000 these day's.

Of course the NLA made the decision entirely without interference and, because they did so strictly independently, the Junta has decided they can keep their jobs.

What else would you call entering a building ALONE when there are an unknown number of gunmen, and all you know is that they're better armed than you are and they're willing to kill?  

 

 

Yes you are right better to ignore you're the school policeman, armed and trained just for this moment and wait until the shooting stops. Then, when it's all over, and you are suspended (for doing the right thing), you can resign and throw your career away for no reason at all.

Until the procedures that govern his duties are published, everybody's guessing. I'd guess he acted correctly, in an uncertain situation, call for backup.

That he resigned means nothing until facts are known. Then, and only then, can the Monday morning quarterbacks run off at the mouth.....IF they were right.

No one gets suspended then resigns if they have followed SOP and acted correctly and you know it.

I was giving a possible example .

The men were there to provide aid , its quite possible that the girls were forced into prostitution in exchange for aid .

   

If there is any evidence of an Oxfam aid worker saying   "do this and I'll give you an aid package" that is blackmail and a different thing entirely but you don't know this happened you just wonder if it did. 

If, more likely, the guys just went to the local bar and selected a girl (a la Thai style) why the indignation? Who they work for is irrelevant in my view.

That refers to hand to hand close combat.  Not charging a semi-automatic weapon- especially if you don't know how many there are.

 

Well we don't know that. What we do know is that he didn't carry out SOP's and was suspended then, knowing what was coming, resigned. No one talks of 'charging' anything he hid outside while the kids died.
