Authorities in the Isaan province of Roi Et arrested a 78 year old Thai woman with a disability and seized 151 tablets of methamphetamine, also known as Yaba, as part of the Expressing Love to Yaba Dealers crackdown on Valentine’s Day.

 

Roi Et provincial administrative authorities together with police and soldiers launched the anti-narcotics operation on Valentine’s Day after receiving a tip-off about 78 year old the drug dealer Chotima Jeremiah. Chotiman was found offering Yaba to teenagers in the province and asked them to pick up the drugs at her house.

 

Authorities then raided her house on the Phadung Panich Road yesterday. Chotima facilitated the raid but looked frightened and acted suspiciously. Chotima became angry when officers questioned her suspicious behaviour.

 

Chotima eventually admitted to possessing and selling methamphetamine. She then pulled out three plastic bags of Yaba from her sarong, which included 151 tablets. The old woman also confessed to selling Yaba to young drug addicts in the area.

Let her off. She old and in a wheelchair, she needs prison like she needs a hole in the head. Give her a caution and a 200 baht fine and get some rich policemen to send her some money so she doesn't;t have to deal drugs. If she has sons who are not working throw them in jail instead.

You wouldn't say that if she were a man of course. You would say "hang the bugger". 

 

What if she has DAUGHTERS who are not working? Should they be thrown in jail instead?

How on earth do you know what I would say ion she were a man? Can you mind read? Of course not, you are blowharding.

As it turns out I wouldn't say that if she were a man. I think prison should not be an option for the aged. Italy had a law (maybe still do) that over the age of 75 you can not be imprisoned. 

She should be subjected to the full extent of the law.

I'm sure a few years in T S's soon to be vacated room with a view is available  

What happened to the promised increase in disability pensions, has it not been implemented yet? or did she not get the memo?
