Popular Post ThaidDown Posted November 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2013 So why do they allow some of these thugs to cover up their faces. Is this some sort of joke. I forgot ........TIT Probably because they are younger than 18, and therefore counted as children/minors, so their faces should not be shown. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagwan Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Do these thugs realise the trouble that they have heaped upon BIB? Senior plod have had to be dragged off the golf course , don their best whistles and berets, spend interminable hours in 'make up' and spend more time practicing their smug smiles of satifaction. How dare their disturb the sleepy peace of law abiding Pattaya? Off with their heads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post little mary sunshine Posted November 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2013 Let's hope for real justice. If found guilty in court, (A very public court case, public in all the Thai Papers) and a long jail term for each, perhaps this will send a message to the other "little thugs" to think twice before attacking other people on the streets. No 500B fine and on your way to the next victim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
