Popular Post edwinchester Posted November 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2013 I am not a great fan of the Thai police but do have some sympathy here. My Thai wife used to work as civilian staff at one of the local police stations. One of the main complaints of the police is that after locking away the criminals they are released way too early, often at the annual King's birthday amnesty. Very little or nothing is done to rehabilitate the habitual criminal and this is the inevitable result. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docno Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I wonder what's going to happen IF the amnesty bill gets passed and all the criminals are released....Apocalypse lol Huh??? The 'amnesty' was not intended to release 'all criminals' or petty criminals like these, but only those individuals involved in political disturbances from the past few years. Of course, there are people around here who would like to believe that every criminal on the street (such as this guy) must be a red shirt...

tragickingdom Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 That is what you get when drugs are peddled by Thai guards and officials in jail. Instead of getting out of jail clean people are even more screwed up when released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNativeSon Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Crimes of that nature are a global phenomenon. Since such crimes are normal (even for Thailand), why would reporting it in the press be considered a newsworthy event to begin with. What I do consider to be a newsworthy topic of discussion, is the "mentality" of a people who, will readily confess (in detail) to a crime, when arrested by police, even though they have not been actually "caught-in-the-act" of commiting said crime. I really do have difficulty understanding how a people who have absolutely no sense of "accountability" (by cultural, "face-saving" imprinting) to begin with, will so readily confess the details of even other crimes (they've commited), that the police have no knowledge of, at all. The Asian mentality is truly a kaleidoscope of contradictions . Thai menfolk can be the meanest bunch of "tough-guys" towards helpless "farangs", and then become the biggest bunch of pussy cats, at the sight of an official uniform. Hey guys, don't ever commit a crime together with a Thai. If he gets caught, 10-years "afterwards", then you get caught too (also 10-years later). A word to the wise.

phantomfiddler Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I,m amazed that he confessed ! I,ve fired a stream of cashiers and not one of them has ever come close to confessing, even though proof was completely documented. Tough decision here ... either give the guy a medal, or take him behind the police station and give him the treatment the chinese administer to habitual criminals.

cup-O-coffee Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 The part that I love is that he confessed to serving time. Police could not check that? Haha. Did he also say that he was forced to do it because the ferry sank? I read somewhere that that one is getting some good mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don throw someone in jail for this Get him treatment They don't want you to do drugs so where is are the treatment vacilities I hope this is a joke about those facilities. In Europe we have them, the tax payer get the bill, and the result is almost nil. Just beat the sh$t out those junks. 1 time in, 2 time in 3 time in and stay in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
