Yeah okay.

“Witness testimony deferred in trial of Bangla shooter cop”

The handwriting on the wall is clear.

 

THERE WILL BE NO JUSTICE. 

 

The first indication was the RTP’s photo-op and presentation of the paltry sum of 100,000 THB to the victim a few weeks back. 
 

“Here’s 100,000 baht for one of our ‘finest’ taking away your ability to ever walk again. Now smile for the camera, son.”
 

A real sweetheart of a deal for the victim. Maybe he can use it for a down payment on a new wheelchair.
