Mr Meeseeks

Shooting the ground, which ricochets and hits a 17-year-old suspect. The stuff of pure untrained amateurs.

Not only his visa, they are taking his elephant sanctuary licence from him now too.

It was reported that two licences for handguns were in his name.

I'm stating the facts. Not made any excuses for his behaviour.

I am not making excuses for him, but they are punishing him before he has stood trial, which is arbitrary and unacceptable.

If that was the case, how could they charge him with illegal possession, given that they legally belong to his wife?

He was forced to apologise. When the incident originally occurred, he refused to apologise, claimed the ambilance driver was at fault, and the ambulance driver was facing charges of defamation and for contravening the computer crimes act. Anyway, the ambulance was not on an urgent mission and there was no-one in danger of dying as you claimed earlier. He cut in front of another vehicle, and gave the driver the finger. That is all we know for sure.

He had licences for both handguns according to earlier reports.

He hasn't admitted the offence, he is saying he slipped. He has been forced to publicly apologise though, maybe you are confusing that for an admission of guilt?

Absolutely 💯%

The officials names, and how he got gun licences will never be mentioned, nor reported, and it will all be swept under the rug so that the corruption and criminality can continue unabated.

Again, you are refusing to acknowledge the issues that this incident has brought to the fore. Arbitrary and disproportionate punishments, assumed guilty before trial, lack of due process, trial by media, etc. He should face trial and a judge should decide what the appropriate punishment is for the offence he allegedly committed. The decision is not for local governors, immigration police, politicians, protesting mobs, or people posting on social media to make.

Who knows his motivation for needing them. Maybe he felt threatened or wanted to protect his family? It's a convenient issue to further characterise him for trial on social media and by the mob though.

You completely miss the point. The reaction to his alleged offence is completely disproportionate. He is also being punished before a trial in court has found him guilty of the alleged offence, which is arbitrary and sets a very dangerous precedent.

He had licences for those firearms. If there is any illegality, it is from the Thais that issued him the licenses, as foreigners cannot legally own handguns. They are just piling on him more and more. Now I see that his elephant sanctuary licence is to be revoked. Good to know all of this can happen without a court deciding he is guilty. He is a foreigner, and he has been tried and found guilty by the media and the mob. A very worrying precedent to set. Position yourself accordingly.

If he is a danger, why did the local authorities give him licences for the firearms? No proper background checks? Corruption? 🤔

He didn't impede an ambulance. He allegedly cut in front of an ambulance on a non-urgent drive, and gave the finger to the driver of the ambulance. We don't know the Swiss guy's side of the story either. Can we please stop with the lies and exaggerations, please?

You cannot get to the top of the pyramid otherwise in Thailand. It is simply not possible.

Examples of foreigners violating laws on retirement visas and the resultant justifications please. Thanks in advance.

The minimum mandatory safety training here is a joke. Blind leading the blind.

They more than likely paid someone off. Who didn’t help them in the end.

Bingo.

They won't dig too deep. Same as with the land titles encroaching onto a public beach. Thai corruption all the way but charge the foreigner.

He has licences in his name. Who issued the licences?

Reckon nothing changed after his first visit, so he showed up unannounced a second time, to see the reality of what is going on. I am starting to like this new PM.
