In America the courts take the money and victims wait forever to get restitution if ever 2 2 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a few in Thailand that work for private military's companies, I used to know 2 of them and they worked in Iraq 1 month on 1 month off something like that, they would be on $10,000 a month, another job they could do is on the ships going past Somalia, A guy i knew who did that said that was boring but he got well paid for it, 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post impulse Posted May 26 Popular Post Share Posted May 26 From the linked article: I drank several rounds before driving my daughter into town. On the way back, I stopped at the gas station to fill up,’ Mr Davis declared. He claimed he was unaware of his actions. However, he sincerely regretted what happened and offered apologies to both the victim and the Thai people. So the guy was driving in a drunken blackout. Then he assaulted some guys.

Popular Post Classic Ray Posted May 27 Popular Post Share Posted May 27 Why don’t people read referenced articles before jumping into print? They will see he is married, has an 18 year old daughter here, so has grounds for a visa. Being a mercenary is not the same as Special Forces, so he could have done that from a young age. I’m more concerned that no action was taken in respect of his admitted drink driving, which he used as his excuse for the assault. His cooperation with Immigration must have been very strong. 1 1 1 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbs Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 So many gaps in his story, mercenary? Private security contractor possibly. immigration refused to cancel his visa due to past cooperation on Samui what was he doing for immigration? translator, English teacher, or informant either way did he have correct visa and work permit?
