But it happens that Boss is wanted in Thailand, and if there is a red notice naming him, countries that don't notify the Thai authorities of his entry into their countries would be deemed to be harbouring him surely? I'm well aware that he is wanted in this country. Red Notices are advisories only, they are not warrants neither do they have to be acted on by any country that chooses not to, so no it's not "harbouring".

Great concept for a first post! -
"How many have gotten bail and then done a runner to escape justice?" No idea, specifically, but not many, I'd guess. You got a percentage? Bail absconding happens everywhere yet the bail facility still exists, worldwide; just because a tiny minority abuse it doesn't mean it shouldn't be available. "as for ‘innocent until proven guilty’: like I said, the guy killed two people over nothing, there were witnesses, he confessed, he’s guilty as sin". Confessions can be, and frequently are, withdrawn and no one gets convicted on the basis of nothing more than a confession. I'm not condoning his actions but, regardless, of what happened, he has rights and whatever your subjective opinion is, he is innocent until proven guilty. Perhaps you think that the basic tenets of law should be abandoned and that the laws should be rewritten to allow for kangaroo courts in the media and anonymous forums?

South African woman gets life sentence reduced in Thailand
Liverpool Lou replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes, I do, but what about it? -
"It is really incredible how rich people here can literally buy their freedom". It is really not incredible how rich (and not so rich) people here can literally get bail. they don't "buy their freedom", they get bailed temporarily before their court appearance and possible life sentence because at that stage, regardless of what they admit to or what is reported, they are innocent until proven guilty. "Old lady gets 15 years in prison for picking mushrooms in a national park (or something like that, correct me if I’m wrong)". You're wrong. The "old lady" was a woman who was a member of an illegal logging gang, not just a "mushroom picker", and she was released ages ago after serving nowhere near 15 years.

Why would AN be cynically and negatively suggesting that they were, perhaps, unsafe in an otherwise very positive article? "one with a visor that covered most of the head and one just propped on the top of the child's head". No, that's incorrect. In the photos in the link, none were "propped [sic] on the child's head", all the helmets were being worn fastened as they should be.
