Popular Post webfact Posted May 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2023 Pattaya —A transgender person in Pattaya was arrested by police last night for allegedly pickpocketing cash and two gold necklaces from a Russian couple several days ago. The suspect was taken to the Pattaya Police Station on suspicions of pickpocketing 2,500 baht in cash and two gold necklaces from a Russian couple, Mr. Nikolay Smirnova, 51, and Mrs. Elena Smirnova, also 51. The couple told police they were approached by the suspect who gave them a welcome hug and took selfies with them at 10:30 PM on May 23rd, on Jomtien Beach, Pattaya. The couple only realized that their jewelry and money had been stolen after the suspect walked away. At the police station, Pol. Col. Thanapong Phothi, Superintendent of Pattaya Police Station, identified the alleged thief as Watcharapong Ponpun, a 27-year-old transgender person from Buriram province, northeastern Thailand. The superintendent said to The Pattaya News that he had immediately embarked on a search for the culprit’s whereabouts, relying on CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts after receiving the theft report on May 23rd. Eventually, he discovered that the suspect had hired a taxi to escape to Bangkok after selling one of the stolen gold necklaces for a profit at an unnamed Pattaya gold shop.

Popular Post ezzra Posted May 26, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2023 Apparently, those transgenders are not being punished harshly enough to make them think twice before their next light fingers work, is it because the police feel sorry for them? they shouldn't, those guys are nothing but law lever criminals' scums. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be in possession of the extremist woke "progressives". In the US they control the way people are supposed to speak, the curriculum in schools, etc. And it is likely they are 2% of the population, if that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot understand it either. But, I am the least PC guy you will encounter. It is not a lack of respect. I have plenty of that. It is all about the cancel culture, and the extreme weakness that PC creates within a culture. I just will not have anything to do with any of that. As I get older, I am developing a new skill set. I am becoming very good at ignoring nonsense, ignorance, naivety, and overly judgmental people. They barely register on my horizon. Social media seems to have amplified things and the media itself is "overly woke", which essentially means unconscious. I just don't care. Water off a ducks back. Don't have time for the foolishness. As Bill Maher said recently, the things that seem important in Los Angeles, likely mean nothing in Des Moines. And how many dinner conversations do you think you will encounter in rural Ohio, about my trans child? Or my transitioning child. Or any such nonsense? It is the tendency of the progressive wing of the Dems, to ask the world to acknowledge their preferences. Not me. I do not do PC. I hate PC. Do not even consider forcing your PC junk on me. My family emigrated from Russia over a century ago, to the US. Do I call myself Russian American? No. Why? There is nothing Russian about me, other than some relatively hidden DNA. I love what Clint Eastwood has to say on this topic. When asked about Dirty Harry he said: “It was far-out at that time, so I brought it to [director] Don [Siegel], and he liked it,” Eastwood recalled Sunday during a visit to the Cannes Film Festival. “A lot of people thought it was politically incorrect. That was at the beginning of the era that we’re in now with political correctness. We are killing ourselves, we’ve lost our sense of humor. But I thought it was interesting and it was daring.” https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/clint-eastwood-decries-pc-culture-cannes-weve-lost-sense-humor-1005933 In another interview, he elaborates further: “I’m never cautious about what I say because, you know, I’ve been around a long time, what can they do? The political correctness era that we’re in is really not doing anyone any good. It’s taking everyone and weakening society. It doesn’t seem that people have to take themselves so serious,” Eastwood said. “It seems like, I’m just lucky that I grew up in an era where we all lived in an area where everybody joked about everything. Nothing was politically incorrect because everything was always a joke with a sense of humour. People sometimes are losing that and taking themselves and everyone else seriously. I think they’re missing a lot and not enjoying the differences that we all have.” https://theplaylist.net/clint-eastwood-political-correctness-20180208/ Few could have said it better. And I am in total agreement with all of it. Edited May 26, 2023 by spidermike007 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
