Police say Bang Tao checkpoint runner has ‘mental illness’

PHUKET: Police say that a woman who rode through the checkpoint in front of the Tesco Lotus store on Srisoonthorn Rd in Cherng Talay earlier today (Apr 24), heading towards Bang Tao – currently the area with the highest concentration of newly confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the island – is suffering from a ‘mental illness’.

 

The woman rode a motorbike through the checkpoint earlier today. Instead of stopping to be screened for possible infection of the virus, she drove into the lane of oncoming traffic approaching the checkpoint from the opposite direction.

 

She stopped halfway through and spoke very quickly. The only words clearly decipherable were, “I don’t care about Prayut Chan-o-cha.” Shen then rode off, ignoring officials pleas for her to stop, and ignoring officers shouting out, “Where are you going?”

Clearly has mental issues. Good diagnostic. Who, in their right frame of mind, does not trust or care about P?

[Soupdragon]

So she has been taken off the streets and is receiving the treatment she needs ?

Anyone who does not love father P...has to be mentally ill.  That being said, I love this girl!

I've been ignoring "Bai nai?" shouts for years.

Sounds perfectly sane to me!!!

Seems normal enough to me. Riding against the traffic and opinion.????????

These religious nuts are the spreaders. Just look at Bangtao

Not exactly...

"Further inquiries led officers to learn that the woman has a mental illness,” Lt Col Thunturong added".

 

'Nuff said.

As the report says, the police are looking for her, she did not go home, until she turns up what can the police do?

[Mike k]

if riding the wrong way is a mental issue then over half of the riders in this country including cars and trucks should be in the loony bin

I live in Bang Tao, this woman is well known to the police. If they can't find her then they are not trying.

 

Soldiers are being called in to do the work the police are failing to do.

I'm hearing the 'locals' aren't doing anything their told. They think their God will choose if they live or die so they aren't concerned. 

They don't care about the non believers.

Not sure that religion is the driving force here.

 

I think it is ignorance.

Why is that ignorance concentrated within that religious group? 

The numbers don't lie. Bangtao is in for the long haul lockdown.

I didn't want to make the link between religion and ignorance.

Many examples worldwide of ignorance in many religious groups. Your reference 'that' is not correct, leave it out and you have the truth.

Why don't you report my post if you find it offensive and the mod will clean it up. It worked for you last time.

A pity you don't see the difference between flaming, can and often will be reported, and your post and mine above.

With available evidence it's hard to not to make that link.

I admit I too thought this when I saw the headscarf.

i live nearby and go regularly to buy dinner in BT from the street vendors. I know for sure, absolutely I’ve been blatantly targeted by prejudice there. All were muslims.

others of this faith in BT treat me with the respect and kindness I show them.

At the time the press report was written, she hadn't been located, perhaps she has now and the police actually did all that they could reasonably be expected to do.

 

Did you contact the police to let them know where she was likely to be if you know of her so well?

Another 4 cases for Sunday in Bangtao. 

Lock it down for another month and let the rest of the districts open. 

Other areas shouldn't suffer more because one group can't get it together. 

[steelepulse]

Is the teflon overlord in charge of this area?  The guy that has made plenty of headlines by saying he's getting out of politics, yet somehow is still around.  Maybe this will be his undoing.

Agreed what part of thailand has the most cases of Covid-19, Deep South.

 

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1907855#cxrecs_s

 

Now 4 more cases in Bang Tao, in the descriptions most of the cases have something do with their 'religion'

 

Selfish muslims and their celebrating of ramadam are possible going to mean at least whole another month of lockdown for phuket ????

Yes, his watch.

 

But no, teflon, so he'll brush this off as well.
