Keep trying. Trump isn't going anywhere.

But Menendez, Lynch, Comey, Clinton and many others may well be..

Another Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, has plead guilty to lying to federal officials about conspiracy with the Russians.  So, despite Trump's frantic tweets, today is indeed about the Trump campaign conspiracy.

No, idiot, it is not. Has nothing to do with Trump. The best they could come up with was allegations against Manafort for activities years ago. 

Learn to read. 

Anybody who gets this visa will be forever known as a complete moron.

Fair play, Dang, well done in assisting the young lady.

However, if tough sentences were handed out to people using violence, acting as a deterrent to others, a lot of instances like this would never happen. The longer the perpetrators are allowed to get away with a paltry fine, and a meaningless wai, the violence will continue.  

Wow, really? That's the best you could do? 

It's not "attempted" anything...

It's "successful" stupidity. 

Was clearly fleeing. 

Period.

as we know life  is cheap here, my main interest is about the land, sorry, thinking like a thai.

No Land was hurt during this incident.

Sprayed, tasered, or hit with baton, then cuffed and off to the cells to await court appearance for assaulting a police officer for starters.

 

But never ceases to amaze how much patience and tolerance many Thai officers show.

Which is a big you all live here and not back in your own abusive countries of little accountability.

So cigarettes are illegal too, Right?

One more reason I'll probably never live in Thailand again.

And... dropped by a girly punch. That big ring the guy's wearing is the only reason it drew blood. Guess he thought he was safe because the police were right there but let that be a lesson... Always expect the unexpected.

Yes, the Thai had the Thai police there to protect him. 

Maybe he should not have road raged and go out of his car because an old man was yelling at him. 

An example of Thai having no respect for elderly and being a racist country. 

Prove you're not.

Why?  Thai insurance companies are mad.  Do they not have any shareholders?  My company; Thannachart, paid out huge sums for medical expenses; compensation; a new faster bike to two under-age, speeding, licenceless tearaways who smashed into my stationary car. The bent cop took a further cut.

That sounds about right for Thailand...and people wonder why I never buy a car there.

Idiotic - He thought the Thai Guy was going to kill him so instead of protecting himself and driving off he got out of his car, grabbed an machete and approached the Thai, threatened him and damaged his car...

 

This has to be some of the dumbest back-peddaling I've read... the Australian should be in Hospital getting a full check up, he clearly hasn't come to his senses !

 

There is no dressing up what happened... The Australian guy escalated the situation to Assault - it really is that simple.... He needs to face charges, as does the Thai man for his re-escalation and retaliation after the Police were on the scene.

He waited for the police because he knew he was wrong and was afraid the old man was gonna kick his ass. Despicable behavior. Coward.

Thailand is a totally racist country, with a lot of stupid aggressive people. Simple as that. I'm glad for each of my Thai friends that managed to get out of there. 

1st, the Thai should have immediately been arrested and jailed. 2nd, Thais in general can barely drive. 3rd, We see clearly in the video which one is aggressive. 4th, One is an old man. And lastly, that Thai guy would never be able to go to work again without being killed and his shop would be burned down. 

C*cksucker problem solved. 

Just sayin. 

Since I moved out of Thailand several years ago after tiring of the visa and other games, every time I think about visiting and bringing people with me, another government action changes my mind.

Without an adequate explanation of why he can't return to the UK the alarm bells should be ringing, particularly since he has a conviction for violence in Thailand.

The story is not really clear. It says that the Iranian hit the thai first with a bottle. So?  Throw him out of the country 

It doesn't say that...

Maybe try reading it again. 

They tried this shit with me in Bkk when I had not only bought drinks and paid admission already, but was on my way back in to pick up one of the girls after her shift. 

In what amounted to a shakedown for a 100 baht the "bouncer" had to later get help from guys at neighboring bars after I explained he was an idiot and a thief, all true, before I left and monkey boy tried jumping me and knocking me down the stairs from behind and it didn't work out so well for him.  When I returned with the police it cost them each a ride to the police station along with their manager to post 1000thb fine each, not to mention the price of all the beer I didn't buy there anymore. 

No bottle involved.

I give myself amnesty for anything I've done wrong also...

Oh, wait, it doesn't work that way...

What an outrageous statement!

 

The Junta has said that they did not know the verdict in advance, and I really really, really believe them.

 

 

I wonder what the sentence will be for the Junta that unlawfully stole Thailand...

sure it is disgusting; why is the usa prosecuting this Unless it is for extradition ? ; the crimes were committed in thailand

Thailand failed catch or prosecute. Why would Thailand extradite when the charges are for crimes in the U.S.?

Charges of child sex tourism and child pornography. 

Not rape of a child.

Duh.

The Thai guy balancing in the rigging is to steer the parachute.....especially for landing, as for most passengers it is their first time and they don't have the awareness (due to the thrill of a whole new experience) to control the canopy for a landing.

Bullshit. There's nothing to steer. Most (probably all) parasails are static. No steering. You might be able to pull on the risers, if it has any,

But it really isn't necessary. When the boat stops you settle gently into the water. That idiot in the rigging is prima facia evidence of both negligence and stupidity.

They have a strap you can pull to drop to your death? What could go wrong?

Sympathies to the relatives, this shouldn't happen.

I call Bullshit. I owned a parasail for years.  There shouldn't have been that 2nd guy climbing up onto the rig. Looks more like that guy released the harness and killed him.
