  2. Honest Mike Pense?

     

    Mr Trump has also been criticised for appointing his vice-president, Mike Pence, to head up the response to the epidemic. While governor of Indiana, Mr Pence was blamed for responding too slowly to an HIV outbreak, reportedly because of his reluctance to open needle exchanges. Hundreds of people were ultimately infected.

    Maybe he learned a lesson and will be brilliant, I do hope so.  You're only as good as your last <deleted> up.

    The Computer Crime Act wasn't in force until the junta came to power, so how can she be charged under a law that wasnt in place at the time?

     

    Oh, of course, she is was a Future Forward party member and different laws apply to them.

     

    Not so. There were laws and computer crime police prior to 2014.

    The charge is contrary to Section 14(2) of the Computer Crimes Act BE 2550 (2007) namely:

     

    Section 14. If any person commits any offence of the following acts shall be subject to imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine of not more than one hundred thousand baht or both:

    (2) that involves import to a computer system of false computer data in a manner that is likely to damage the country’s security or cause a public panic;

     

    Yes, the act predates the coup of 2014, as it does her comments.

  4. Another Thai political party. They must be running out of available names soon.

     

    A deviation from the original Future Forward party's ideology will not the 6 million disenfranchised voters attract.

    55 MPs from the late lamented FFP are expected to join. Why would they when the new party doesn't stand for what the old party did?

  5. In jail, the American people have to look after him. If he is released, he has to look after himself. A winner, yes?

     

    Whilst I empathise with those who were defrauded, (I suspect greed paid a part) Madoff should be released in my view, to stop being a burden on the people of the United States. 

    If he lives past the 18 months at the home of his 'freind', those remaining victims can keep an eye on him.

  6. It seems that many arms of government are gunning for this guy. Publicly.

    Would it not be better if he was holding up a freeway somewhere, rather than hanging in a gibet.....

    I thought public executions went out a long time ago, especially death by a thousand cuts.

    I wonder how many rabble rousers 192 million baht would pay for?
