Video: "Aunty in traditional costume" who hurled abuse at the cops faces defamation trouble

 

Picture: Daily News

 

A furious Thai woman filmed atop a barrier venting her spleen at police and military for blocking off a road can expect trouble.

 

The governor of Phijit province has called for her arrest for defamation and hindering the work of the authorities.

 

Her more than two minute rant includes many swear words including suggestions that the fathers and mothers of those in uniform bear a resemblance to male genital organs.

 

She is one of a group of male and female traders angry that they couldn't get into the area and were thus prevented in selling things while the road was blocked for Songkran.

 

It involved a three kilometer stretch of the Khao Tang Road in downtown Phijit in Thailand's north east.

 

Following an hour long meeting it was decided to open one lane just so long as the traders did not sell alcohol or turn on loud music.

 

Governor Wirasak Wijitsaengsri said that the roadblock was done for good reason to allow easier access for residents in and out of their homes fearing they would be blocked in by vehicles.

 

However, he was not happy with the "aunty in the brown traditional Thai costume" as she was called across Thai social media.

 

He called for her to be found and prosecuted.

 

While the Nam Yeun station police told people to stop sharing the video as it was now part of a criminal prosecution and could mean more trouble for those sharing the story.

ok, Thailand repeat after me, sticks and stones may break my bones but name will never hurt me.

And of course 'selling things' is far more important then Road Safety.  Typical Thai response to anything that stops them doing what 'they' want to do and bugger anyone who wants to do different !

yes trundle out that old defamation law,, like a load of bloody little kids, going to be arrested for telling the truth ha ha,  granny had a pissy on, get over it, and this sort of stuff makes national news, there is no hope for this place

Where the hell is Phijit in the north east??

And even if it's a spoilt transcription of Phichit, it would still not be in the north east.

Love you auntie....!!

In traditional costume and all...and calling the army and police officers for d***s....

Power to you!!

Wow imagine the defamation suites from the cops in our countries when theyre dealing with rowdy football crowds and the like.

Their fragile ego's cant cop a 2 minute rant from an aunty but they can extort impoverished labourers on motor bikes at will and think nothing of it. Forward ever forward, Thailand.

Make her PM.

Plenty of western countries would prosecute someone for hurling abuse at a copper but the Geezers are on their high horse over this one as usual

.

Troll posts have been removed. 

Jolly good show, that period costume has brought out the best in her.

It will all end with a wai, flowers and smiles all round

Any one want there washing drying. Get her to come round and shout at your wet washing. It will be dry in. No time.

Its that traditional custom that brought out the beast in her. Just like superman and batman capes.

As funny as it might seem. She looks quite desperate to get the road open so that she can run her business. She probably had to pay higher rent for that day , and most likely bought extra products to sell. 

She could stand to lose 3 or 4000 baht for the day. This might not seem much for the officers with their government perks, but it would be a lot for the vendors that rely on this money to get through slow months. 

Government bullies out in force again.

In any ‘Western country’, you may well be arrested on the spot for being disorderly. Being a public menace. I’d like to think a police officer would try to speak to you first and try to reason with you. Doesn’t always happen, but I’d like to think that’s the approach. 

 

Police in any ‘Western country’ wouldn’t be suing for defamation. It’s usually people who have something to hide or protect who do that.

In the small bit of the video  I watched she says that  she wants the road open for the  local people...she says she not doing it for herself ( not boiling over) because her parents and herself are rich..in between much swearing..

 

Either the person filming or someone close says grandma is really boiling over

You missed the cynicism in my post but thanks for the hot advice.

Waste of ink to detail.
