NZ brothers return home after 4 months in Thai custody for assault

Pair of over privileged Bell-Ends, yes big Envelope - with love frm Mummy & Daddy

They put a Thai cop in a choke hold, beat him, took his gun, fired it, and they're going home after 4 months? They must have very good Karma. Maybe my next life will be as charmed as theirs seems to be. If they did this in the US, they would look like paint splatter.

They are lucky to get out after only 4 months, in my modest view too lucky...

The increased delinquency of foreigners in Thailand should be addressed by a permanent ban in the Kingdom. Especially when it is about of attacks against police officers.

Every Thai citizen ought to act as Policeman to surveillance of foreigners.

Wow, I reckon things must be a be different under the Southern Cross. In the States and most other countries with armed officers if you try and take their weapon you'll be shot if not tasered. These two blokes are just lucky there wasn't a motorbike taxi stand nearby. I reckon they've set up their GoFundMe page to pay for their holiday. Banana peelers.

Do you think motorbike taxis will come to the aid of a cop? I'm not so sure, but we don't have any cases to prove it one way or another.

What ever happened it is done.They are gone back home and probadly banned for life or a long time.Case closed

Depends on the city...  Look what happened to the cops in NYC last month by some recent arrivals...

There is no suggestion the New Zealand government was involved. NZ has very strong anti-corruption laws and laws regarding bribery. Any NZ official involved in this sort of thing would be dismissed and it would be massive news in the country and that person would become near unemployable. Where the article says the brothers thanked for the NZ government for their support, that absolutely does not mean the NZ government negotiated to get them out. No way would that happen.

No corruption in NZ but Peter Thiel was able to buy a passport...
