Popular Post AsianAtHeart Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 It will take time before everyone will see the truth behind the "state of emergency"--but, with this case having already been adjudicated, no change here is to be expected at that point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sammieuk1 Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 I doubt if there's anything civil about a court here or any justice/injustice that can't be brought ???? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andycoops Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 A foregone conclusion as I suspect will be the one on Friday. With the Muppets already warning citizens not to protest the verdict it's obvious what the outcome is because of the corrupt judiciary. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted September 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 27, 2022 I hope to see them back in the streets after 1 October when they lift the decree, i.e. if they do lift it. Governments around the world are changing because the people have had enough, here is a little different, when someone or some people are sick of the government, no names mentioned, they send in the military and then you have what you have since 2014, a caretaker government, come government, lock stock and barrel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AhFarangJa Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Sure-fire proposition, foregone, cinch, preconceived opinion, sure success, sure thing, shoo in, slam dunk, certainty, matter-of-course, no uncertainty, inevitable, and par-for-the-course. Just a pity I could not have put a wager on the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Srikcir Posted September 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2022 "The court also agreed with the dispersal of protesters at Pathumwan intersection because it was close to an area of important persons." ( my emphasis) Where else would a protest be held for public attention? This reason more reflects an attitude towards an oligarchy controlling a nation than a democratic society. When the "Good People" have pre-emptive exercise over a citizen's constitutional rights, a nation becomes more fascist in nature. The court's decision should be appealed for the sake of the nation's reputation and security FOR ALL Thai citizens. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 We all know what the emergency decrees were really about. Not much of a surprise here. The courts here are about as impartial and apolitical as the US Supreme Court is at this time. Hopefully the judiciary will be held to account at some point in the future. Never forget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Prayut gets another stint in th PM position all hell is going to break loose on the streets. And I bet his first motion will to put the emergency decree back in place, so he can lock up the protesters while other mass tourism gatherings can go ahead as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 No surprises here; the correct answer would be separation of power .......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
