I went one farther. 

 

I flatly refused to drive for their Formula 1 team when asked.

wouldn't want to be crossing the street when I am driving, might get dragged for a few kilometres under my Ford Ranger, and I wouldn't think twice about stopping for the scumbag !

And then you would see how quick the hand of Thai "justice" can be.

1500 people reacting with an angry emoji must have the authorities really scared. 

 

If the people really cared enough, there should be a nationwide boycott of all Red Bull products. That would make a statement. The rest is simply business as usual.

I clicked the 'funny' icon because I see so many empty bottles of Red Bull along the paths that I walk. It seems as though the whole country is hooked on caffiene in a bottle.

I guess that with the covid pandemic raging around the world and Thailand thankfully seemingly having it under control.

The family decided to add a couple of zeros to their offers or brown envelopes , to get old Boss safe back home and away from countries infected with covid.

 

 I am sure that this transgression will come back to haunt him in a future life and no amount of making merit at the temples will change that.

"generally that the affluent in Thailand could break the law with impunity and escape the criminal justice system."

What a surprise

I guess the next step will be his appointment as a Minister.

1,500 angry out of 60 Million !

Actually if you had read the thread carefully you might have seen this snippet in the OP post.

 

Sanook said that netizens were incensed that the case was to be dropped. On "The Reporters" page 1,500 people reacted with an angry emoji within two hours of the news breaking. 

 

I underlined and bolded the bit you skipped over.  within two hours

I would. But I've never touched the stuff to begin with. It's nothing but a potentially diabetes-inducing sugar syrup fortified with 3 espressos worth of caffeine. I guess I just never have been "trendy" enough to pour that <deleted> down my throat only "because everybody else is doing it too".

I do not drink the stuff either, but it's a bit too late for a boycott to be an effective means to damage this family. I am sure the have diversified their money and investments a long time ago. That's what the "just us" system was supposed to be designed for . Epstein hung himself too!

Except that when their time comes and they are in trouble most of them will try and buy their way out of it. Hypocrites.

If I was Thai, I would be totally ashamed of the people who run my country! Thankfully, I'm not!

Simply disgusting but not surprising in a country where corruption is embedded in the social fabric.

Thailand can be a dangerous place even with personal security, lil boss better watch his back.

Mushroom pickers go to jail for about 7 years and Red Bull police killers have charges dropped against them. I wonder which of these two types of people can stuff brown envelopes with more money. I hope that the International Press gets hold of this story. Shame on Thailand. 

Share it! Share It! everywhere you can = Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc...

What would be interesting is upon his return to Thailand....if a drunk driver hit & killed him dragging his body for a few blocks..... would driver be charged?

Ummm...  why 2,800 Thumbs up from the Thai people though?  versus 1,500 angry ones...

There's a huge difference between clicking a like/dislike button from the comfort of your armchair and actually getting up, making signs and going out onto the streets in protest. 

Watching and caring means squat if they don't try to do something about it. Change will never come from a mouse click. 

No proof he was speeding.

No breath test to prove he was drunk.

No urine test to prove he was taking drugs.

 

Not sure why people are so butthurt over the charges being dropped, for all we know he was driving sensibly and the policeman cut in front of him.

 

This will all go away by next week after which when "alleged cop killer "Boss"" returns to Thailand the Red Bull carpet will be rolled out and flower pedals thrown before his feet.

The justice system (prisons) are for commoners.

What shame?  They understand how the system works and milk it for all its worth. 
No shame at all.  The public is shown exactly how a quintessential two-tiered justice system works, and then to cap it off they send out a spokesman to tell the commoners that this isn't two-tiered justice and to mind their own business.  Yet every commoner in the country knows that under the same circumstances the outcome for them would have been a speedy conviction and jail.

but that's countered with all the fruit salad, wings and shiny bobbles pasted all over their uniform - all frigging meaningless of course in the real world.
