Popular Post Dave0206 Posted July 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2020 A lot is mentioned of blood money ( compensation to next of kin). I see nothing wrong with this but in civilized countries this does not end the matter next of kin can not be the judge to say what punishment is fitting for any given offense and rightly so. in Switzerland for example if I’m drunk knock down you’re husband killing him I will have a judgement against me for let’s say a million $ chances are I do not have a million to give so my income will be assessed for how much I need to live anything above will be cut at source and given to family. on top of this I will have a custodial sentence . My commitment to my my victims family does not end until I’ve paid full amount so I will not forget in 5 minutes the harm I’ve done to another family. To me this is justice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me this is justice Yes, if you get p**** out of your face and drive your Ferrari at speed down a road in a pedestrianized area and you hit and kill someone, you should be sent straight to jail. And jailed for a good amount of time. Add to that, you should be made to pay compensation according to your income. If you refuse to pay, assets should be taken and sold, etc. Paying compensation and going to jail aren’t mutually exclusive. Some people seem to think that paying your way out is fine if the family of a victim accept it. If you offer a sizable amount of money to someone who doesn’t have any, of course they’ll take it. You’re just abusing your status. The reason we punish people isn’t purely to make them understand the error of their ways. It’s also to deter others from doing it. If rich people know they can buy their way out, the deterrent is way less effective. And that means your average citizen has to worry that some d***head might be driving his sports car whilst p**** out of his face and smash into you. Selective justice is no justice at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, and so should everyone else, that the accident caused by Vorayuth, that resulted in the death of the RTP officer, was just that, an accident, it was not deliberate.

He couldn't care less about the opinions vented here- not that wold even be aware of them. Will we hit 50 pages (that was a rhetorical question by the way), at least it will bring an end to the repetitive angst ridden threads that seem to appear every few months.

Just let the whole sorry saga wither on the vine. These kind of posts always confuse me. The typical response from a decent human being to any form of injustice is typically condemnation. It costs nothing to do and it’s a natural response to this kind of thing. Now, you’ll always get people who don’t care about something. That’s fine. Don’t care and be on your way. But to claim you don’t care and then take the time out to argue with someone about why they shouldn’t care too. Well, that’s a different kind of special. Clearly you do care. But you care for very different, and very wrong, reasons. Edited July 24, 2020 by rkidlad 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cncltd1973 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 On the surface, it's outrageous. But if the dead cop's family is paid to their satisfaction, then it might be the only outcome the family can achieve. The killer has shown he can avoid capture, and if he can make it to the year of the statute of limitations, then he gets off entirely without having to pay the family at all. The Thai system tried the modern route of justice, which failed in this case, so it's falling back on the tribal justice system of recompense (assuming the family has been paid, of course. if not, then this is a completely different matter of corruption). Hopefully the brat's drivers license will be taken away when he returns to Thailand - but why would he return when he's already living in a better country with more money than he can possibly spend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with morality, alcoholism is a disease. Three daughters and each of them taught not to be arrogant, entitled idiots so I am certain they'd never find themselves in this situation. If they did they'd have to face the consequences of their actions. The Red Bull killer is solely responsible for the horrific death he inflicted on an innocent man, responsible alone for running away from justice and a huge part of a corrupt elite who each enable others to escape their crimes.

phichay Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 This is the first time that I have seen this photo. For all these years I have envisaged the "accident" occurring on a stretch of road where it could well look like it was an accident. This looks like a side soi where a high impact collision like this could only be complete recklessness at best. Wouldn't a charge of manslaughter due to reckless driving be the absolute minimum charge here? Oh, but of course........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddypower Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 17 hours ago, GAZZPA said: I am capable of assessing my own life thank you. the post is about the rich getting away with ploughing down a policeman whilst pi**ed up behind the wheel resulting in his death. Corruption and injustice is something i believe most people will never tolerate in society and it is rife in Thailand. You can see the uproar when something unjust occurs in other countries, just read the news. If you don't care and are are happy to risk raising your family in such a country then carry on, I hope nothing does happen to and of your loved ones, if it does you will only have yourself to blame and I wonder if you will reassess your decision to remain in such a place then....? thanks for clarifying what weak ethical/moral standards Pilotman seems to have.

Stargeezr Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 In my opinion, this Red Bull heir Jerk had very little change to go to Heaven when he dies, and this was before him killing the police officer with his pricey vehicle. Now the heir has .0001 chance of Heaven, but 99.999 percent chance of seeing Hell. Just a thought... I do hope the cops family was compensated with lots of money.
