    Ok I Want To Know Who Dosen't Like Me?

    I am another one of your antagonists in the ongoing political debate. I am really sorry to hear you lost a friend.

    It really does not have anything to do with our debate or the general state of affairs at ThaiVisa though...

    Your extreme views and sweeping generalizations provoke those of us who are less inclined to use violence as a problem-solver than you are. Your spelling and punctuation provokes others.

    You should just accept that even if you disagree. We know you do.

    For me it's fine if you stay around but you really should not expect this place to change because you feel hurt. There are enough ppl out there who are just waiting for a chance to correct your spelling, point out any flaws in your logic and just generally take the piss.

    Take care and see you later.

    Court Frees Couple From Police Cells

    in General Topics

    Posted

    The Bangkok South Criminal Court yesterday released a couple unfairly detained at Lumpini police station for 102 days without a charge.

    The young wife reportedly delivered her baby in her cell and was simply ignored by police.

    Lawyer Pradol Inthathamma heard the couple's story at the station on Thursday and managed to seek their immediate release yesterday.

    The court heard that Chol Narapinit, 28, and his 17-year-old wife, Siri-on Changluadlai, then pregnant, were arrested at the Ploenchit skytrain station on July 27 allegedly for theft.

    Pol Maj Kriangsak Tipjoi, who handled their case, sought the court's approval to detain them for 84 days, the longest period a suspect can be detained, without pressing a charge.

    Police did not send Mrs Siri-on to a youth observation and protection centre even though she is 17 years old.

    When the court was about to release both suspects on Oct 19, Pol Maj Kriangsak re-arrested them right away for receiving stolen items. The couple were detained for 18 more days but the officer did not seek a court order to detain them.

    Mrs Siri-on delivered her baby in her cell and police did not arrange medical treatment. Her relatives took the baby out of the cell five days later when they heard of the delivery.

    The couple said police beat them and robbed them of a gold necklace. Police also took Mrs Siri-on's ID card and recorded her age as 19 instead of 17. As a youth of 17, she would be entitled to different treatment.

    Pol Maj Kriangsak told the court the couple were arrested for stealing computers but he could not conclude the investigation in time.

    He insisted Mrs Siri-on had no ID card on her and they had not argued over her age. However, he admitted he was wrong for failing to conclude the case in time, allowing the statute of limitations to lapse, and in not seeking court approval for the last 18 days of detention. Mr Pradol, the lawyer, said another male suspect had been treated similarly and he was looking for ways to get him released.

    Monica And God

    Monica Lewinsky was looking at herself in a mirror.

    Her frustration over her lack of ability to lose weight was

    depressing her.

    In an act of desperation, she decided to call on God for help.

    "God...if you take away my love handles, I'll devote my life to

    you,"

    she

    prayed.

    And just like that, her ears fell off.

    Thailand 'risks Revolt' After Muslim Deaths

    in Thailand News

    Posted

    Thailand risks a Muslim uprising in the south after the deaths of almost 80 Muslims in military custody, the main Islamic political party in neighbouring Malaysia has said.

    Most of the victims suffocated and several broke their necks when 1300 people were stuffed into vehicles for at least six hours after Thai officials used water cannon, gunfire and tear gas to break up a demonstration.

    "This is tragic and a real massacre of a group of people who are just peacefully demonstrating and this will have a great effect on the feelings of southern Thai people," said Muhammad Hatta, chairman of the external affairs committee of the Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS).

    "This latest issue will create more instability and dissatisfaction and we are very worried that people will rise against the government."

    Threat

    A southern Thai Muslim separatist group dormant since the 1980s said on Wednesday insurgents would take their fight to Bangkok to avenge the deaths of 78 Muslims in army custody in the deep south.

    "Their capital will be burned down in the same way the Pattani capital has been burned," the Pattani United Liberation Organisation (PULO) said in a statement posted on its Web site.

    The group, which is not thought to have an armed wing, was involved in a violent campaign in the 1970s and 1980s for an independent Muslim Kingdom of Pattani between southern Thailand and northern Malaysia.

    "We pledge before Allah that from now on, the infidel will suffer sleepless nights, the property they have robbed from us will be totally destroyed and their lives will face consequences for the sins they have committed," the group said.

    "Their blood will be shed on the soil and flow into water. Our weapon is fire and oil, fire and oil, fire and oil."

    Calls for inquiry

    Hundreds were arrested and taken

    away during the protest

    Amnesty International called for an independent inquiry saying there was a "disturbing pattern of Thai security forces using excessive force" against Muslims in the south.

    Thailand's justice ministry said 78 people suffocated as they were being taken in trucks to an army barracks after the protest by Muslims near the border with Malaysia on Monday.

    It was the bloodiest day in the Buddhist kingdom since 28 April, when troops and police shot dead 106 machete-wielding militants in the south.

    Security outposts in the restive, Muslim-majority region have been common targets in 10 months of unrest, which looks increasingly like a revived Muslim separatist movement.

    PAS's Hatta said all sides should exercise restraint and start negotiating over Muslim demands for a form of autonomy in southern Thailand.

    "The army should stop all military action in southern Thailand and political leaders should go back to the negotiating table," he said.

    Although they live in Thailand, the country's five million Muslims share ethnic and linguistic ties with their Malay neighbours.

    Inquiry announced

    Thailand's premier on Wednesday announced an inquiry into the deaths.

    Premier Thaksin Shinawatra ®

    has not apologised

    Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra stopped short of an apology after Tuesday blaming fasting during the month of Ramadan and drug use among protesters for the high death toll.

    "We will set up a committee to investigate why they were crowded into trucks until they couldn't breathe," Thaksin told legislators.

    "We feel sorry. We tried to take care of them well. They should not have died. There will be a committee to investigate so that we can draw lessons from this."

    Rights groups and the US government earlier demanded inquiries into the high death toll.

    Newspaper pictures showed detainees lying face down on the back of an open top truck at least two deep with their hands tied behind their backs and five soldiers standing around them.

    Thaksin told legislators a public holiday meant there were too few trucks to hold the detainees who could not breathe or drink water.

    Tied and beaten

    Hundreds of tearful family members gathered outside the military base on Wednesday to try to learn the fate of their relatives.

    Relatives are still trying to learn

    the fate of their loved ones

    "Demonstrators ran away, some jumped into the canal. Soldiers and policemen beat and kick them. They were tied up by belts or rope," one man who witnessed the break-up of the protest said.

    "They were loaded in six trucks, piled on four or five deep. The reason they died was because they were beaten and injured and kept in a crowded area."

    Officials said 37 of the 78 victims from the crush had so far been identified and 14 bodies had been taken away by families.

    Thaksin said 32 people were also injured, including 14 security officials, one of them seriously.

    The protest was sparked by the arrest of six Muslim security officials accused of handing guns to separatists in the Muslim-majority south, where an insurgency has raged this year. The latest deaths take the total to at least 414 from the violence.

    Streets were blocked off to the police station on Wednesday as a major clear-up operation continued amid a heavy security force presence.

    Bullet holes were seen in the walls of a building opposite the police station, according to an AFP correspondent.

    Condemnation

    Up to 113 Muslims were killed by

    Thai security in clashes in April

    The Hong Kong-based Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) said in a statement that the high death toll was "most disturbing and utterly inexcusable".

    One Thai newspaper said the premier should consider his own position after a series of cabinet reshuffles failed to solve the crisis amid fears of growing violence.

    "Prime Minister Thaksin has pinpointed possible causes of the turbulence and reshuffled the top men in charge. It's time he took a long, hard look at himself," the English-language Nation newspaper said in a front-page comment.

    Rights activists have previously accused the authorities of heavy-handed tactics in the south, including the storming of a mosque in April that left 32 people dead. A total of 113 people were killed in the one-day uprising.

    The insurgency in the south of mainly Buddhist Thailand has continued sporadically for decades and came to life again in January with a raid on an army depot.

    Farang Cuts His Own Throat !

    in Pattaya

    http://www.pattayacitynews.net/news_update.html

    Pictures will follow in the next few hours

    Dramatic scenes in Soi Beowkow as Broken hearted Irish man threatens to kill himself on his 4th floor balcony.

    In the late afternoon of 24th October Pattaya Police were alerted to a foreign man who was attempting to commit suicide in Soi Beoukeow. On the top floor of Boeukeow court in front of room no. 401, Mr. Colin Wasson aged 49 from Ireland was sitting on an overturned empty bucket of paint and begun to injure himself with a flick knife. Before this he set light to 15,000 Baht’s worth of Bank notes and threw them over the balcony. The blood-soaked man appeared to be intoxicated and was telling nearby medical staff that he could no longer live without his sweetheart who had apparently left him 2 months before the incident. He demanded whisky be sent up to him, officers used this opportunity to place sleeping pills inside the whisky bottle in an attempt to stop him injuring himself. Eventually, the man gave up his suicide attempt and was taken to the Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital for treatment to his wounds. The Irish Embassy was informed of the case and may well recommend a psychiatric report be undertaken before they allow him to return home.

    Cheers for that PCN.
