Pornography Ring Busted in Phnom Penh Live-Streaming Raid
Patong2021 replied to geovalin's topic in Cambodia News
How do you know it was not. These criminals typically exploit vulnerable young people. -
It was never Palestinian land. Do you know why they are called Arabs? It is because they come from the Arabian peninsula, the land where Saudi Arabia is located today. The Arabs migrated into the land that was settled by the Hebrews and that land had various names, Israel, Judea, Sumeria. Jews have that name because of their association with Judea. Jewish people and Israel were in the region long before Islam was invented. Christians were in the region long before Islam was invented. The arab people who were prominent in the area were Bedouins. When the arab migrants arrived, they took the Bedouin grazing lands and claimed it for themselves. The arab migrants also chased off the hebrews/Israelites because they wanted what they had. Then the Romans came and screwed things up, and then the Turks came and screwed over everyone, especially the Arabs.

2 hours is not sufficient time for crowd control training. There is a reason why the LAPD provides 30 hours basic + 10-20 hours continuing training to its intervention personnel on top of the basic training. The police academy program is 26 weeks. The USMC basic training is 13 weeks. The reason there is a different time spent on training is because the police have a different responsibility, Please do not offer that 2 hours is adequate or even meets the basic requirement for crowd control, because anyone with common sense will know that it isn't.

Please quote the full information; Smith said the Marines have received “in excess of two hours” of training on the use of less than lethal force in cities, or crowd control, and that they would have shields and batons as their equipment. He could not say how much in excess of 2 hours. In contrast, as of 2007, all LAPD personnel receive a basic 10 hours in crowd control. It doesn't matter whether they work traffic or homicide, all personnel are required to take the training. This is before the training given to the specialized units. This basic training requirement was implemented after the MacCarthur Park mess, when the LAPD contained an immigration enforcement protest through an over use of force. There is additional training for crowd control with time designated for specialty. There is a mandatory 6.5-hour course on deploying 40mm rounds for crowd control, plus an additional 4-hour training for supervisors. An additional six hours are dedicated to “the application of less-lethal force.” Every two years, officers take eight hours of training as a refresher. There is a 24 hour continuing education requirement to be completed every 2 years. Within that requirement are refresher courses on perishable skills that include; Arrest & Control - 4 hour minimum, Use of Force - 4 hour minimum. The takeaway is that the police tactical response unit members tasked with crowd control intervention have 30+ hours of training to begin with and then an additional 10-20 hours every 2 years plus practical experience of dealing with civilians every day. This is in sharp contrast to the USMC personnel who have been given 2 hours of training and some batons. That is not appropriate, nor fair to the marines. That is not what they volunteered for. And as a reminder; The Marines will not have arrest authority. Under the Posse Comitatus Act, U.S. service members are barred from policing citizens on American soil. The Marines cannot be used against the protestors, otherwise there will be a constitutional and legal crisis that will not end well for the Federal government. There is little point in deploying military personnel under the present circumstances other than to make a political statement. Let the police respond first. If they cannot do the job, then there are legal grounds to intervene.

Maybe the Israelis should have let her in, and just left her there. She would not have lasted long with her attitude in a very chauvinistic and doctrinaire society. Her lack of clothing would have gotten physically abused. It would have been hilarious if she had talked back to a Hamas commander.

Health Covid Cases Surge: Chula Expert Sounds Alarm on Rapid Spike
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Mr. Coleman is no longer allowed to practice as a GP because of his nonsensical claims, which have been exposed as lies. The man makes his living by pandering to the mentally ill conspiracy cult, telling them what they want to hear. He has no credibility in the medical community. -

Mr. Roytas has no formal training in Medicine, or pathology, or immunology, or virology, or microbiology. He has a Masters degree in nutrition. I am fully aware of how one can become infected with a cold virus and do not need a nutritionist to tell me the mechanism. -
The military are not trained to manage civil disorder. The US Marines are combat trained, and should not be used as general police. The training the police and the military have is very different. The police are trained for measured use of force. The military doesn't want this, nor need the problems it will bring. The civilian police force is best suited for managing and controlling the unrest. It will be a national tragedy if the military fires on civilians.

The closure should not affect anyone traveling from Thailand, who is not connecting through Singapore. . As mentioned above, the closure is in respect to the Singapore flights. The closure of Jetstar Asia does not affect flights operated by Jetstar Airways or Jetstar Japan. Jetstar Airways will still have flights between Australia and Southeast Asia. The Melbourne and Brisbane routes will still operate. As per Jetstar; -Airline will offer the option of a full cash refund if booked through the airline - Customers who booked through a travel agent or another airline should contact them instead of Jetstar Asia. - Some customers may be offered seats on an alternative flight offered by Qantas-owned airlines, depending on what is available.

What happened to the expensive BMW "Smart Car" campaign from 2020? it was introduced with great fanfare and promoted as a solution. The vehicles were described as having inbuilt alerts and tracking systems as well a live connection to database-driven information linked to the country’s biometric system. One of the vehicles was involved in the apprehension of a 57-year-old disabled man from Belgium using a walking frame for mobility near Burapha University Hospital. In another takedown, a 54-year old Sudanese national walking on a Pattaya sidewalk was stopped. And a 63-year old Australian the authorities called the ‘hiding kangaroo’ was identified as he walked on the side the road. Is this what is in store for Pattaya?

How does a man who put up drywall and plastered all his life have such a deep and extensive knowledge of medical science? There are 200+ viruses that can cause a common cold. Typically, the cold virus is a rhinoviruses. Influenza is a disease that is initiated by one of the 4 influenzaviruses, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. The cold and flu are not as you describe. -

And nothing came of Trump's visit. On the contrary, the Korean maniacal despot become more aggressive and fired missiles in the direction of Japan. Kim betrayed the opportunity extended to him and now sends his poor destitute people to die on behalf of Putin or to die in the mines of Russia. -
Crime Indian Tourist Robbed by Two Transgender Women in Pattaya Hotel Room
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
Some katoeys are there for legitimate jobs. The prostitutes are there because there are people who will pay to engage in buggery and other activities. The street prostitutes are like blow flies to a dead and decomposing corpse, swarming and spreading disease. In the world of prostitutes these are the bottom of the barrel.They are the ones who have reputations for bad behavior, so bars and brothels won't let them on the premises. They typically have infectious diseases, and/or a drug habit, and/or mental health issues. -

It is happening elsewhere. The suppression of public information on the extent of infection is sometimes intentional as a denial, e.g. USA, China, Russia, and sometimes fearful of inflaming a small number of vocal troublemakers who will claim conspiracy, e..g. EU, Canada, Australia, UK. to benign neglect in much of the world. However, in the countries where there is a reduced public disclosure of data, there is still an emphasis on preventing serous infections through vaccination. They realize that if they can vaccinate the high risk groups, they will have better success at containing the negative health cost. -

Diplomacy does not work with some countries and regimes. It has not worked with North Korea. It did not work with the Taliban in Afghanistan. It has failed with Yemen and Iran. It failed in Rwanda and Burundi. It failed in the Congo It failed in Darfur. It failed in Liberia. Sam Doe allegedly chopped up an African peace envoy. It failed in Uganda. Idi Amin killed diplomats and reportedly ate their internal organs. Trump tried to make peace with North Korea, and the result was the little dictator threatening to send missiles at the USA. Iran has already tried to assassinate the US president. The USA needs a missile defence. Perhaps, not as expensive as the Trump proposal, but the need is there. He was correct in his assessment. Are you annoyed because Putin and Russia cannot afford such a system? -
Report Russian Teens Clash with Thai Rappers on Pattaya's Walking Street
Patong2021 replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
You are very keen to deport and ban people based upon their national origin, despite there being no evidence of wrongdoing. The more appropriate option is for you to self remove. Your demand that "east Europeans" be banned is anti-social hateful because many have done no harm. When is the last time a Pole, or Slovenian or Hungarian, or Cypriot or a Greek has caused problems in Thailand? You spit out hateful venom like a tormented serpent. Such a person is neither needed, nor wanted in a peaceful society. You can go back to your homeland and reminisce of walking with your hairy "armenian" friend from there. Perhaps, even relive your days at an "elite"private school, and sitting at the computer, plotting your new society. -

And there are those who use the Koran and Bible to justify their violence. The Indian deviant was not in Pattaya in search of theological insight, nor was he a zen master. He was the standard issue creep who comes to Thailand to exploit the vulnerable. -

He solicited prostitutes. This is a crime, H showed an express intent to access transgender sex workers. This makes him part of the the problem. The sex workers would not be working the street, annoying people if there wasn't a demand for them. He is no different than any other foreigner who comes to take advantage of the vulnerable. -
Trump’s New Travel Ban Takes Effect for 12 Countries
Patong2021 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Some countries are not banned, but have restrictions. The BBC gives a decent explanation. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz6329yvwdvo The reality is that several of the countries have not co-operated or are impossible to manage. Libya and Haiti are two examples. The visa overstayers from Haiti refuse to go back. Neither Libya nor Haiti are places that allow for the safe operation of a consulate. Both are lawless and subject to daily violence. The Trump administration administrative changes were done in accordance of the law and have been based on documentation of overstays and the problems related to the visa process. They were not done randomly. The countries which are banned present a clear and obvious threat. Neither Qatar, nor Saudi Arabia is issuing threats against the USA, and their respective governments have been co-operative in the containment of terrorist threats. Yes KSA was and is still implicated in the funding of violence, as is Qatar, however, the violence is not directed at US interests. Your position is that you are opposed to the granting of tourist visas to Iran and Yemen. Yemen has called for jihad against the USA. It was attacking cargo ships and is backed by Iran. How can you expect the USA to offer a luxury, a discretionary gesture that is used for friendly nations, to two hostile nations? The USA, like any other nation is not obliged to welcome the nationals of hostile states.
