Sondhi is out on bail for other charges besides this one. Anyone kept count on just how many years in total he has been sentenced to and the number of cases he is out on bail awaiting appeal for? Must be four at least.

I was wondering the same thing.

This guy has been through a lot. Remember the mob of assassins who shot up his car with machine guns? He took a bullet glaze across his scull? I seem to recall the bullets were the same ones used in military arms. Given the amount of ordinance that goes missing and his political leanings, it would appear they were not the military. or at least not regular military. or at least serving military.

You need to do your homework.It is an open secret which military elements were involved and who they were linked to.Don't be under the misapprehension that all those who share an enemy are friends.

Amazing insight Jayboy. Just astonishing.

In the future, you may wish to not mistake guarded comments and withholding details... or understatement... for ignorance. I thought it was obvious. Obviously, not to you, despite your brilliance and insight. and . homework. wow.

Jayboy is correct. However, as I'm sure he is aware, the facts cannot be discussed here, and it is quite dangerous to discuss them anywhere openly in Thailand, which most likely explains the guarded nature of his comment.

er, ok now you understand everything.Odd then that your earlier post was just bar talk nonsense.His "political leanings" for example which you seemed to attach importance to were in fact irrelevant to his attempted assasination.

It is going to be interesting to see if he gets bail. The red lot don't ever get it.

You gotta' be referring to a different "red lot" than the one

I've been watching get bail again and again blink.png

Can you cite any "reds" getting bail on a lese majeste charge ??

Or anyone else for that matter ???

Bail is rarely, if ever, given in these cases, viz the recent two brothers case and an old man without technological skills and phase 4 cancer.

How come Sonthi got it ???

"How come Sonthi got it ???" is a bit of a leap from "The red lot don't ever get it." to which I was referring.

But never mind, maybe Sondhi's amulets were all working that day, who knows?

Guess life's just a beetch, huh?

Repeating someone elses comments? Are you nuts?

On this one the law is an ass.

How the hell are you supposed to conduct a civilised discussion of ANYTHING if you are barred from repeating someone elses comments?

Soooooo absurd.

Was the statement deemed illegal when he said it?

Justice PTP style.

Actually NO. The PTP are trying to remove the LM laws. Next time get your facts straight.

Actually, they've said they won't touch them.

In addition to that, about 5 seconds after being elected, Chalerm spent 400 million baht setting up a computer "war room" to search for those committing LM.

That's the thing,there are something's they don't what people to discuss. It's called freedom of speech, Thai style.

What is a beetch ??

And how come he got bail when very few, if any, others do???

Perhaps something to do with who shot him up, perchance ???

Message conveyed and all that.

no need for color hooligans just peace - oneluv

Soooooo absurd.

Justice PTP style.

The whole lese majeste thing is nonsense. Will the woman sue sondhi for copyright on her statement also. Repeating a statement before it is deemed illegal is illegal?????????????

How did the person who made the charge relate it to the policeman? Hope they didn't say it because they could be charged also......

Well in this case, if she would have said the same thing in any other country about any other person, she would be in troubles as well. Not under lese majeste law, but under other laws...it was more than "offending".

?actually? my memory is she didn't make the offending statements... somebody else on her web BLOG did and she hadn't removed the Posts. at least, that's my recollection?

Interesting that he got bail

He should have got a job with Red Bull, probably been sent to Singapore on business !

don't worry, if the Supreme Court review upholds the conviction, he has a jet all fueled and ready to go.

I think Sondhi should post this to manager.co.th

Problem is, what happens once you start to point out the absurdity of the Thai system, the whole thing gets out of hand, and they all end up stoning one another.

The lese majeste laws are in force for one reason and that is to protect the status quo, not so much in the interest of protecting the monarchy but in protecting those who feed off the monarchy and the current system. Thailand is a country that can't quite make it into the 20st much less the 21st century. One day these laws will all backfire. People will push the envelop and things will boil over. The stories of the trials make more news than any original statements made and make people realize their lack of freedom to comment on things.

It is going to be interesting to see if he gets bail. The red lot don't ever get it.

You read too much red propaganda. The reds have almost always got bail, the only exceptions are for Jatuporn and his mob after they repeatedly violated prior bail conditions.

Getting jailed for an opinion...barbaric.

Getting jailed for repeating another's opinion ... barbaric and moronic.

Could offenses under less majeste not be moved under the royal household administration? Thus the King could guide concerns for this enforcement and remove these charges from being used for political ends as most seem to beused currently.

Sorry there philw, was writing "Life's a bitch."

And although I remember well the shooting incident, I am not

connecting the two. You've lost me.

Well if they insist on being barbaric, backward and undemocratic ... they may as well go all the way and just shoot offenders on the spot. Grow some balls Thailand!

He receives no penalty for leading the closing of the Thai airport and defying government, military, and police.

Soooooo absurd.

Justice PTP style.

So you know for a fact the sentencing judge is a PTP member or supporter? or are you just pushing your agenda?

and what was the sentence of the lady now in jail for the same statement? PTP justice again HUH???

Yes, bail does not seem to be available for lesser mortals on the same charges.

Norawase Yospiyasathien, a mere university student, was granted bail on LM charges.

The judges and prosecutors heard the offending phrase, and must have enunciated it at least once. Shouldn't they all be thrown in jail also?

facts, such as:

and another PTP move:

You got two different cases mixed up.

Once you sort that out, you'll see the error in your first comment.

He receives no penalty for leading the closing of the Thai airport and defying government, military, and police.

Those charges, just like the dozens involved with another colored shirt, are still pending.

Soooooo absurd.

Possibly he's referring to the decision to appeal Sondhi's initial not guilty verdict. Particularly when it comes on the heels of the decision to NOT appeal a not guilty verdict (after an initial guilty verdict) for a major PTP financier, Potjaman.

It could easily lead anyone to think that these appeal/not appeal decisions are PTP government directed.
