Good to compare notes Liverpool Lou .

As in the army , Thai troops work with US troops in training exercises . 

Many laws in Thailand are based on US laws . Labor law for example .

 

 

Clearly you know little about Thailand's labour laws.

[GreasyFingers]

Well it is certainly a change to hear so many TVF'ers supporting a China gentleman instead of them being the Devil himself.

'Chinese media critical of Thai police' - so it's not just me then?

If this happened in China to a Thai and Thai media complained they would be told it's an internal Chinese matter and nobody else's business.  

Darned right,

He is Chinese.  He also has paid-for citizenship of St. Kitts and Nevis

 

Funny, when a Chinese citizen pays for an Australian citizenship, and then uses that citizenship to go back to China and stir up trouble, the west/Australia sees him as Australian.

From the video in the OP:

 

At time -0:41 of the video, the timestamp is 14:19:40.  Someone runs into the room, and there are shouts of "police, police, police!"

 

At time -0:07 of the video (timestamp 15:20:27) is when the shooting starts.  That's 1 full hour after the cops have been in that room!  It is no longer a case of anyone getting surprised.  You would think that all residents of the villa would have been disarmed, in custody, guarded and possibly handcuffed by now.  So why did the shooting start 1 hour later?  There is much more to this story yet.

Smells like a shakedown gone wrong.

Not legal advice but most LE friends of mine suggest that it's fine to arm intruders after the fact as long as it's not on CCTV.

Is there a difference between an anti-CCP activist with dual-nationality and a criminal with two passports?

What you want to make us believe? That a search warrant was done for the innocent? It's about time this Chinese scums been kicked out of the country...but plenty of them still remains...as the wealthy preferred "Tourist" ...

Don't you think it's odd that Thai Airways haven't scheduled any China flights to Phuket? 4 European cities and 2 Asian cities, but nothing from China.

We?  Do not include me in that we.

 

On the surface this is just another example of the incompetence and lack of professionalism of the RTP.  Yes, it is plausible. However, one never knows if there has been skillful editing at the China end of the presentation. We have edited CCTV recording do we not? Lost in story is whether or not this person was operating a gambling operation as stated in the warrant. Gambling operators are cruel and violent thugs, so this should be kept in mind. Maybe he was innocent and just a nice man, but we do not know.

 

This specific story plays to the current Chinese strategy of portraying the Chinese people of being at risk from foreign governments and in need of the protection of the Chinese military. It is a constant theme in mainland Chinese movies and in television dramas: Chinese even in the diaspora must stick together and support and help the motherland. In return, the motherland will protect them wherever they may be. I was on a pre Covid flight and the Chinese language movies shown onboard pushed this theme. One was about a security guard in Japan taking on the bad Japanese. Another was about a special agent sent to Africa to deal with bad westerners and ungrateful Africans.  The Thai event is perfect for promotion of the Chinese theme.

 

I know enough to accept that the Chinese military industrial complex controls the Chinese and some foreign media. A government political officer - a media liason had to clear the story. Yes I believe that the RTP blundered, but the Chinese national maynot be the sweet innocent victim as portrayed and it is also likely we are being given a story that promotes an excuse for the Chinese national.

Sounds a lot like the US movies I have seen exactly the same kind of plots. Strange that those are so widely accepted.

 

The guy has no right to defend himself like this not with the gun he has as you can't own something like that legally. So he was a criminal already. If you need a gun to defend yourself you obviously did something wrong. So I don't feel for the guy. He might have made a mistake in identification but if he did not have the gun it would not have happend. So lock him up and throw away the key.

The army and police will be busy making up some law to retrospectively blame him for using his right to self defense. Good for him he's Chinese though. 

Nonsens!!! Him closed the door. So him was safe for the first moment.

Him not asked what was happen but shot a full magazine into the door with a illegal full automatic gun.

It not gave a reason to do this. Why him not call the police and / or Golf Club Security?

I don't know about you but where I am from Golf Club security are more used to removing ball stealing kids from courses, than armed people performing raids. Seems like he was ready for it too!

[exparte]

Cops are a joke. Just look at at the tragedy last year at the Mall in Korat. Tragic police inability.

Don't see the relevance of that comment but It'd be interesting to know how Australian citizenship can be bought.

No, it's not good to compare US SWAT teams with Thai SWAT teams in this case, it's irrelevant and pointless.   Generally, RTP do not work with US police in the way that their respective armed forces do for training.

 

The laws of Thailand are not "based on US laws", they were based originally on European civil law and English common law which the laws of the US were based on in part.

I start to wonder if Thailand have a problem with the police?! Real police officers in plain clothes behaving like a comedy hit team, and a fake police officers shooting a real gun in real police uniform...

A few years back while living on a Moo Ban estate in Pattaya, there was a commotion outside in the street.

I opened the door to see what all the fuss was about ( as you would ), to be greeted with a pistol pointed at my head by a guy in plain cloths only.

F##k this was my reaction, " Police " he said, " Drug Bust ' on the House next door, ' Stay inside ".

This guy could have been anybody, and if it were not for one of those I.D things on a lanyard round his neck, I would not have known. 

No Flak Vest with POLICE on it or anything.

I suppose they think they are the SAS or something similar to get their egos up, but yes Brainless Stupidity.

 

 

I agree , the unrecognizable police were out of there league. Did not realize what they were getting into.

You're right, you probably need access to a lot more than £10 with no guarantee of a visa being granted!

Thai law, if people come on your land without permission, you can shoot them.

If they were wearing a police or army uniform, maybe I'd hesitate.

But those guys running from the vans .......... shoot first, ask questions later.
