Know of father who had choice of prison or monkhood for getting daughter pregnant.

That said, we can't say he did this horrible crime because he was a monk (at least I hope not)

Part of Buddhism includes view that we all have Buddha nature within us, and optimistically take in everyone to be monks. This guy has really hidden his Buddha nature deep.

here is where my view diverges. no we all do not have Budhha nature within us.

I have to admit that I have not a lot of respect for monks, a good number are just draft dodgers or lazy men who don't want to work for a living, problem is which ones are men who truly believe in their faith and which ones are scum like this particular monk.

 

registering the monks should be considered.

Good job by the Police,to quickly arrested this monster,

there must have been witnesses,plus DNA,so he cannot

squirm his way out of it,and that the sentence fits the 

crime,so he ends up rotting in jail,where  he will be on

the receiving end.

regards worgeordie

worgeordie  it is difficult nor to be sentimental about this issue as a little innocent child is involved. i totally agree that the punishment should fit the crime.

RIP the poor little soul.

 

I keep trying to point out to my wife's family that Monks are just men wearing yellow robes and you can't change a mans mentality, character or temperament just by changing his clothes.   However; they are brainwashed into thinking these people are some kind of Saints !

once upon a time the monks were saintly but unfortunately some corruption has crept into the profession and it is these black sheep who taint the good name of the entire community.

Becoming what seems like a terrible trend of child abuse....appearing almost weekly in our media nowadays.

I don't think that there's any difference between the monks and ordinary, cruel and sadistic maniacs....lynching seems too subtle for some of these animals!

 

a life sentence will be pretty much in order if murder can be proved.

Recently a monk checked into my hotel in Bkk, along with 2 teenage boys, maybe 14 - 16 years old.

 

Room locked for 2 days. Room service meals left outside the door.

 

Then check out, monk paid room, meals and alcohol in cash.

i hope you did bring it to the attention of the police or other social authorities who might be able to help out. true the evidence is circumstantial but circumstances do indicate something abnormal.

The ladies from the Phantip-forum already had big issues with a monk touching a woman....

this crime is even more horrific.

although  it is not confirmed as to who did it the signs point towards the monk.his rooms should be searched thoroughly for any tell tale signs. in case the boy was sodomised the DNA match should be able to put the matter at rest for good.

whoever did it it was immoral, shameful and disgraceful (in case of the monk).

There was finally a crossing barrier put in on the tracks near my house but the arms come down ten minutes before the train comes, so therefore everyone, including the police whose station is just next to it and myself ignore them and do what we always did, look up and down the tracks and proceed. 

yes  at least that basic  safety measure ought to be observed.

It's a frightening idea that you share the road with such completely disturbed fellows.

 

unless he was on the phone and hence oblivious to the traffic happenings.

wonder if the amulets will save him from getting a fine from the cops.

they well might if the belief is genuine and strong.

Just when you think they guy couldn't be dumber, this comes out. Amulets only save lives when nobody dies it seems. Then again you have to break eggs to make omelettes so it all balances out. 

well said.

The incidence of sheer stupidity here is frightening.

plus the negligence. the driver should at least see left and right to identify any approaching traffic.

we all need some sort of faith. if your faith in amulets is strong perhaps some divine power is protecting you. best of luck.

this guy made a deliberate effort to beat the train. karma is the only explanation that i can think of.the family had it coming

20 years ago there was a similar business conflict involving Russians and restaurants, I believe one owner was shot dead after a business "rival" hired a Croatian hitman. So, i guess they havn't improved much.

 

only here they tried to do a direct settlement of the issue.

That stab wound to the chest seems a bit lower down to me, maybe they sag a lot when standing up?

it is more in the abdomen than in the chest but this is quite irrelevant to the core story.

Hope she survived "that" ambulance trip.

She apparently did or else we would have a different headline for the news.

What a nasty man.

Hope he gets a long term in jail and deported after it.

 

Nice to see the quality Russians we have  in Pattaya now days.

Wonder if they and there staff all had work permits ?

 

 

and TAT was looking forward to more ruskis.

business rivalry that took such a nasty turn. the offender in this case should be deported as he is not suitable to run a business. 

hope the victims recovers to continue her business and make a living.

Not making enough money now when the selling Tiger parts to Chinese medicine has stopped

Why is he not in prison ?

Yes i think you are spot on.

It will be very interesting to see what will be done about this.

It has been quiet for a while, he broke the law like many monks do, to make money.

 

he is going to say that he was doing it for the tigers.

What is it that makes these people so venerable?

"...he was caught totally unprepared about the raid and its consequences."

 

Had he been leading the life of a Buddhist monk, there would not have been a situation in which he could have been caught "unprepared".

they did not expect to be raided.
