Murder is intent.

manslaughter is no intent.

 

You punch someone and he hits his head on a table and dies it is not murder because your intent was not to kill. Manslaughter.

 

You could say the same for the officer but....his actions can be seen as intent after he was told the guy was non responsive yet still had him for another 2 minutes. A reasonable person would consider that further action could cause death. So that can bump it up to murder.

 

Murder 1 would be premeditated, or planned. Not the case here. So murder 2 it is.

You would have to listen to what he (The Cop) says before you could decide on whether it was deliberate or not , listen to the defense in court

Apparently the police didn't learn any lessons from LA. If the police can murder black citizens with impunity it's no wonder that there are riots. 

The Police officers involved  have all been arrested and charged over the killing so, they werent acting with impunity

Manslaughter is still murder.

No , look up both words to see the difference

He is a well liked man, has always gone out of his way to help people, both Thai and foreigner. Most of us knew of his visa situation, so I doubt he was grassed up.

Do you know how he got caught ?

"It has to be you're money, not someone elses"

It has to be in a bank account in the applicant's name, that's all.

 

"You need to show immigration that the money come from your bank account abroad as well and it was transferred to Thailand".

As far as the lump sum method is concerned, no, you do not have to prove that to IB.

No, you initially have to show the money got transferred into Thailand from abroad .

Maybe not after the first time of renewal, but first time you have to provide the money transfer from abroad code

They also have Texas Chicken in Malaysia... it's OK in terms of the chicken, but the real perk is the jalapeno cheese poppers. 

I prefer the Malaysian Chicken in Texas  , one of the few places that serves rice in Texas

Talking about Big C... if you are near one, your best bet is to buy a whole roast chicken from there. Much nicer than KFC I think. 

It has the texture of cheese

Its more like Tofu than meat

Why would it be illegal?   There are no IB regulations requiring that lump sum money in the bank has to come from an IB-approved source.

It has to be you're money, not someone elses 

You need to show immigration that the money come from your bank account abroad as well and it was transferred to Thailand .

   I recall last year, two Indians getting arrested for lending 800 000 Baht for the other to get the visa

Please tell me how I should interpret threats of when the looting starts the shooting starts.  And why not finish off with the correct interpretation of protesters would be met with vicious dogs and ominous weapons.

No need for interpretation, that was meant literally

By that logic if you tell a lie once you can tell it over and over again and it only counts as one lie.  I do not know if you are religious but that does not strike me as a good defence when meeting your God.

250 lies on the same subject are only 1.3% of the total so we are still waiting for elucidation on the remaining 88.7%.  As you are capable of reading Trump's mind to interpret what he means this should be very enlightening.

No, what I meant was whether its a lie or not is open to interpretation .

Did he actually try to imply that the Wall was actually in the process of being built, or did he mean that it will  get built in the future ?

   If he stated that the building process is currently underway, that would be a lie .

If he meant the wall would get built in the future , that wouldn't be a lie

It depends on how people interpret what he says .

Every couple of months I go there. I like the Zinger Burger. And the coleslaw is great.

But I think the chicken pieces are too oily.

And any french fries is small compared to the competition.

Ive always regretted eating KFC in Thailand. Fries are miniscule and cold and the chicken is not good.

 

Im a fan of Mos burgers though. ????

Disappointing...small portions...over priced...overly seasoned...KFC in name only. 

Pay 7 Baht more to "Go large" and get bigger portions

Seven years ago though, when he went on overstay , you just needed a letter from your Embassy without actually having to have the cash

For you from Fox, (more palatable)

"Federal prosecutors say the three white men with U.S. military experience are accused of conspiring to carry out a plan that began in April in conjunction with protests to reopen businesses closed due to the coronavirus pandemic and later sought to capitalize on protests over the death of a Minneapolis man in police custody.

As someone else already said, the allegedly counterfeit bill is not really the main point but it was kept by the shop - the employee who accepted it didn't notice until later that it seemed suspicious. As they said, normally someone who passes a counterfeit bill that isn't detected immediately, would have been long gone but for some reason Floyd hung around outside the shop and so was still there when the police arrived.

The bill wasn't counterfeit , he had no need to disappear quickly

Do you not UNDERSTAND, that ANTIFA is no "organisation" and therefore there are no "HIGHEST RANKS"?!

Or lowest ranks?

No...you don't!

Ex member of the military, Jim Mattis's critique of trump...

 

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try,” 

 

“We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”

 

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/06/james-mattis-denounces-trump-protests-militarization/612640/

Maybe they should get behind Trump and show some unity themselves ?

Many people disagree with everything Trump does or says and now the same people are blaming Trump for causing the divisions

Everyone seems to be missing the main point. Where is the "supposed" counterfeit bill? Either Floyd or the shopkeeper had it. A simple scan of the money would prove whether the money was fake or not although, it would not prove that Floyd intentionally tried to spend it knowing it was fake. So, where is it??? My guess it should be with Floyd as there would be a different scene if the shopkeeper tried to keep it.

I seem to recall it being reported that the $ bill in question was actually genuine
