About 20 police officers mishandled Vorayuth’s hit and run case

Is that all? Is the word ‘ mishandled’ Thailand’s new ‘misunderstood’?

He looks like one angry abbot as the guy in the red shirt is planning his escape ????

No, no, no. He's not angry. He's an abbot. He doesn't care about material items and wealth. He finds true happiness from within. I'm surprised he even told anyone.

Red Bull Boss: He's charged again with driving under the influence of cocaine

Well then, the Red Bull heir is in big, big trouble.

They don't need to be 'tech savvy'. As soon as the hand-wringing orders come in; that will be it.

 

TV censorship and guns a-blazing. Just take a few ring-leaders out of the picture (permanently) and it will all crumble.

 

Surely no one believes that the 50 or so top families will allow their domination to be tempered.

 

"Oh! It had to be done for the sake of Thailand." Heard that one before as an excuse to start shooting.

 

New sedition laws rushed through; 50 years in the monkey.

Then all that work to look like a democracy will be for nothing. Back to square one and no one even pretending to believe a word they say. 
 

As I said before, any footage of unarmed people being shot will be met with big consequences. And there would be footage. No way of smiling your way out of that and asking for patience.

Sanctions from the west eh! I don't think so. A bit of tut-tutting at best.

If someone (many people could be) was live streaming soldiers firing into a crowd of unarmed people, that would be game over for the junta. Like the earlier poster said; they'd have to go full CCP. And to paraphrase Robert Downey Junior in Tropic Thunder, "you never go full CCP". 

These young Thais are incredibly tech savvy, organised, but most importantly, determined. I imagine once the soldiers roll in people will be told to take out their phones and record. Live stream it. Messages will be sent out in real time for anyone around to record whatever they can. This is a type of warfare, but wars aren't fought like they used to be. The students can easily adapt. The dinosaurs simply can't. 

Some upsetting videos of teachers verbally abusing and physically punishing children for doing the three finger salute, etc. doing the rounds on Twitter.

The genie is most definitely out of the bottle. People are fed up of eating s*** and being forced into saying it's delicious. There's one video of a teacher telling the kids that Prayut saved Thailand from corruption. No one's buying it. 

This sounds very serious. Maybe time for a Mercedes upgrade for his motorcade.

Don't forget the 2010 "incident"  where at least 90 died and many thousands injured.

10 years ago was still very different. Nowadays with an extremely prevalent social media, all phones with cameras, drones, etc, it's very hard to get away with anything. It gets uploaded straight away and can be viewed by billions the world over. 

Is this the same police force that Prayut told reporters were working alone and he had no authority to intervene in their work? Funny, I can find many articles beginning with, "Prayut tells police.....". For a man who likes to act so powerful, he sure does scare easily at the slightest bit of genuine confrontation. 

Seems the crowd was very big yesterday. The bully (the RTP) doesn't like being confronted. Can't wait to see them pass the buck back to Prayut if they feel this is too much hard work and there'll be too much backlash. Maybe they'll bring back Big Joke knowing he's an attention w**** who can be thrown under the bus. 

Yes, I particularly liked the bit where he said he would listen and then asked who’s funding the protests and what’s their real motive. Time to step down, Tu.

In regards to the cocaine allegations, How many hours after the accident was the blood extracted ?

You moved away from the “he was traveling at 77kph” theory? 
 

Go online and read the reports. Just be skeptical of what the police have reported. They’ve lied constantly.

Go online and read the stories. I’m not sure why everyone is so concerned about what toxins were in his body. He killed a police officer in his car. He then ran away.....TWICE. 

Well, looking through the information this could easily be an identical timeline for your average Somchai in a pickup truck who's drunk on lao kao and high on yabba. 

No double standards here.

He's doing his best 

That's the problem. He's dangerously unqualified and wholly inept. 

I don't know Richard, but IMHO I've always found him to be quite arrogant and conceited. He might appear to be humble with some of his tweets, but then you see how he interacts with people online and you see the other side of him. He definitely enjoys the attention but now it could be coming back to bite him.
