I do understand how language evolves , maybe I am just to precise , I just think that the word "Mafia" should be used for the Mafia , The American/Italian guys . Israeli gangsters have their own name , as do other gangs . You may believe that shoplifters should be called mafia , I dont . I am not telling you what to do, just stating my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Rob Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 2 hours ago, glasswort said: If these people are known to be criminals how did they enter the country and, apart from the obvious reason why are they allowed to remain? The elephant in the room - I have difficulty in accepting that the various malefactors from what ever country are not put up on a Interpol ( or other ) watch list if they have recent form in violent/ serious crime. That being the case, it would seem axiomatic to the immigration police job /duty description to have a closer look and set in place a follow up on known criminals. I understand that folk travel on fake passports but this once again is check able although with some time constraint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the term is specifically connected with arbitration not just a basic organization of crime, what all mafias have in common is extrajudicial hearings and punishments. Thais call all criminals mafia. Just their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the video we saw picks up the action after the first collision, and after the guy has helped his wife to the side of the road. I guess there is no CCTV coverage of 'part I'.

ethaniel Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I wonder how fast the killers will be let go by the local police. The british guys who robbed a shop last year after dark are already back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
