Hopefully this miserable lowlife receives the full five year prison term along with the 100,000 baht fine, and is then deported. The Bangkok Hilton should be beautiful this time of year. 

The Pattaya "Hilton" in the area in which he committed the crimes and was arrested is just as nice.

"...because most of the criminals are foreigners?"

Did he say that was a fact or was he, perhaps, asking a question? See the "?"?     

Yes you are right, very observant. 

I know.

They jumped the gun too on the new visas. There was no need for any new visas or lifting of restrictions, as the tourists came back anyway.

 

Time or another clampdown on consecutive visa-free entries I hope.

How many million come to LOS on holiday......?

How many from that number end up in jail......?

 

Your silly post will hit the minute number of the millions that you are going to tell me........🤔

 

Lastly, why do you 'hope'.....Do the types of visa's out there affect you.......?  🤔

It's a shame my countries low-life are allowed to travel abroad...

Off with his hands. 
Why anyone would risk 200k worth of valuables by dangling them around their neck and flaunt them for all to see, especially in Pattaya, is beyond me. It often is associated with Indian tourists. Looking for trouble but each to their own. 

[Jiggo]

Yes a 200000 baht gold chain front an Indian, did the Police get it appraised.?

Hmmmm

31 and snatching chains?  A complete, abject failure in life.  Deported, hopefully sooner than later.

Maybe he has dreams of being a katoey

Was the tattoo comment relevant?

For some of us when we look at somebody with a remarkable number of tattoos it looks like one of two things. Either a "paint by numbers desperation" to be hip and to fit in, or a rather significant lack of self-esteem. It doesn't look like anything else. 

 

Back in the day a tattoo was a symbol of something, gang membership, being in a biker club, being a sailor, or being in the armed forces. Now what does it symbolize?

 

It used to be an act of rebellion, now it seems like an act of conformity.

As are white criminals.  The percentages of white vs black prisoners in the US are practically identical, 31% and 32%, respectively.

You often times like the make an effort to simplify things this particular situation is not one that is deserving of oversimplification. 

 

The large growth of the United States’ criminal legal system in the late 20th century brought a widening racial gap in incarceration. By the year 2000, Black people made up almost half of the state prison population but only about 13% of the U.S.2 population. And although a wave of changes to sentencing and corrections policies over the past two decades has helped lessen disparities in federal and state prisons, black adults still were imprisoned in 2020 at five times the rate for white adults. 

 

In 2022, Black people made up 12% of the local populations but 26% of the jail populations on average across the 595 jails from the JDI sample for which race data was available for the entire year. Of these jails, in almost 71% (421), the share of the jail population that was Black was at least twice that of the locality as a whole. (See Figure 1.) And the disparity was much greater in some jurisdictions: In more than 2 in 5 of those 421 jails (41%), Black people made up at least four times as much of the jail population as of the local general population.

So one must ask do black people commit more crimes than white people? I don't think so but I sure think that white judges are much more likely to lock up black men than they are white men, there's no doubt that there's still a significant amount of systemic racism in the US. 

 

I have black friends and Hispanic friends in the US, and I've driven with them and I've seen how they're treated differently by the police that I am.

He will be wishing he knew that the penalty is harsher for crime at night 🤣

Bit more info

 

"

The breakthrough came today, December 13th, at 5:00 p.m. when Pol. Lt. Col. Thananon Athipansee, with the aid of a court-issued warrant, arrested Mr. Jordan Ezra at his residence in Moo 2 in Bangsaray. Ezra, who entered Thailand on a 60-day tourist visa, was charged with robbery at night using a vehicle to aid in the crime, causing physical or mental harm to others.

However, during interrogation, Ezra denied all charges, claiming he suffers from bipolar disorder and has a “short memory,” stating he could not remember the events in question."

Bad way to spend your vacation. Why can't he just enjoy the booze and prostitution like a regular tourist?

Why do you say that?  There have been many reports here of LBs and Thai being arrested for snatching jewellery.

Quite I agree, but how many of them get a prison sentence?

Dressed like a lot of farang in a town, I can't understand it, in the Isaan market town where I live the majority of Thais who shop in Tesco are decently dressed, the men in long trousers and shirts, the women smartly dressed and as a contrast about 50% of the falang men I see in there are dressed in shorts and a vest wearing flip flops often unshaven, simply slovenly. It's not as if they're poor, in the car park I see them getting into big new SUV's, it seems they've brought the deprived council estate mentality with them.

That's what they wear back in Australia.
