What a disgusting saga, Thailand, hang your head in shame. I think corruption is so pervasive, worldwide at this time, that there is little to notice. Look at Russia. Maybe the most corrupt nation on earth. India? China? All we can do is hope that eventually, once they are out of office, Little P., Prawit the nitwit, and other now billionaires, will be brought to account for their enormous theft, their corruption, their policies and their crimes against the illegal immigrants, the slaves, the people who are trafficked, and the Thai people. As we know, current politicians, those that are in power in the police, the army, and the administration, never, ever get prosecuted. Once in a blue moon, they face charges long after they have left office, and squirreled away their fortunes overseas. Above the law. Any and all laws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesSwann Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 It's galling to civilised outsiders, but with a massive effort I can manage to take a pragmatic Thai perspective for a minute. As it was one of theirs who was killed, the police obviously treated this as a personal settlement. They would have secured big compensation for the victim's family, who otherwise would have got nothing, and money is the best way to alleviate misfortune. They also prevented waste of public funds by not sending him to jail. And there is recognition of his family's huge contribution to the Thai economy, which has to be worth something, and apparently is worth an alternative form of justice. And in any case, sending him to jail would have done nothing to preventing reckless/drunk driving, which is by definition reckless, so it would be an empty exercise of the law for a pointless principle. The guy didn't get off scot free as he is now truly hated, and no doubt it costs a sizeable sum to rise above the law, and he also has to live in exile - and of course he is still vulnerable to future changes of government.

stephenterry Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Agree, and it isn't worth losing any sleep over it, as it will still be the case as long as Thailand society accepts it as the norm. One advantage the hi-sos have is that the man in the street will never complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current government in place, their sole job is to protect worms like this one, and make sure they never face justice. That is for certain. Same goes for the serial killer on Dark Tao. Not only do these guys never face arrest and prosecution, but the opposite is the case. They are protected at all levels from the common cop, all the way up to the very weak and small PM. I can't escape the feeling it was even worse when so-called democratically "elected" parliament and the government made up from those "elected" parliamentarians were running the show. So to say.

spidermike007 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 16 hours ago, tukkytuktuk said: My guess is that was done simply as a form of deflection. There is no way the authorities want him back here for prosecution. Just like the serial killing worm child on Dark Tao, he is being protected at every level by the police, the army and the government. That is simply how things work here. He will never in a million years be prosecuted. Not only is the administration NOT fighting corruption, they are doing everything in their power to protect the elite, the powerful, the super wealthy, and those in power, at every level, every day. Of course he may not be able to return to Thailand. Maybe. Maybe not. But, he is enjoying the life of a billionaire, and will never pay for the consequences of his actions. At least not in this lifetime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because criminals are being locked up for committing crimes, perhaps? im not about to try and answer this for the entire world, but as it pertains to my country of origion, it appears as though persons on remand, unable to post bail, make up a large percentage of the prison population (33%)... these persons, by and large, are released post court proceedings (overworked courts is contributory) But... as a deterrent, prison capacity is irrelevant... what you need to do is look at recidivism rates (40% roughly.... all countries differ) to determine the effectiveness of punishment, and then determine which crimes are most commonly the reason for recidivism, and the why of it. So.... your question is about the values of crime and punishment, and there are numerous conflicting studies on this.... I suggest you look there for answers to your question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
