500,000 baht reward for the arrest of Ko Tee

[WoopyDoo]

With this reward some policemen will be enjoy to capture this recreant of Kotee.

The police doesn't dare to arrest him because the top is protecting him. KT is probably already having thee with Jakrapop and Hun Sen.

I don't think so.... Thaksin wants him silenced.

This is the third assault on him and his silly red radio terror movement in a month by police.

I understand where you are coming from but KT will be silent from now on anyhow. Remember that he is still a red shirt and I don't see Thaksin sacrificing him.

FYI, Seh Daeng is a different story.

How about offering 500,000 for the arrest of Jutaporn, Nattawut and Chuarpong for hate speeches and inciting civil war.

Talking about them, when are their bail hearings due?

I think he has already sacrificed him.

He can no longer operate, or walk as a free man in public. He will go to prison for a long time of have to live in exile.

Hiding him in the country won't last long, and how long can you hide a Jimmy Krankie lookalike?

It's not as though he looks like a regular Thai

I think Thaksin has too much on the line to let this idiot spoil his plans.

Thaksin wants mass civil unrest so he can instigate all the ingredients for a split of the country... So he can return and rule once more.... It is now his only way back.

That is more important to him than Ko Tee.

If the boys in brown were to put as much effort into solving crimes, they'd soon be underworked.

It is about time...better late than never...to start putting these out-of-control anarchist in jail...

[jayjayjayjay]

Ah a man of the cloth a man of peace a man of much wealth ! What more can I say !

I am also perplexed as to how this monk can remain an active monk while messing in politics. Surely the Sangha have to look at what authority he has to offer an award like this. It has nothing whatsoever to do with religion. Dump him.

[Andre0720]

How lovely. A court issues an arrest warrant and uyou have to pay the police a REWARD to do their job. I love this place - amuses me every day

Yup,

And that is why most of us have chosen to move here...

[Why ask]

So, a revered monk, who you would expect to have renounced all material and worldly goods, can offer bt500,000 to the Royal Thai Police force, (to serve and protect), who need an "incentive/bribe/reward) to carry out their duty.

WHO SAID HE'S A REVERED MONK?

I work with monks and ecclesiastics, and they have never heard of him.

Then again, it does make one wonder how much money these so called 'Buddhist monks' receive monies and take for their own rewards. The Lord Buddha himself would be swinging an axe against his own tree if all was revealed.

It's time to wake up. Buddhism/Pali/Dhamma is lost in the current day wats. Many monks are ex-Crims, rapists, killers and worse: hiding in an orange cloak pretending to be something they are not. A very sorry state for the true Buddhist monks who do keep clean. (Not that there are many left nowadays)

God........ what a madhouse!

[pkspeaker]

LOL we're not allowed 'to go looking' kumlungkhon ha maidia!

if we do we can spend 3to15 years in jail, i don't think i need to see it that bad!

I think it's absurd that this guy 'said something' to the foreign press, we have no idea what he said because it is suppressed (but we know he didn't directly threaten anyone, and he says he never said it) and we can goto jail just for repeating it whatever it is,.. and now he's this countries biggest criminal , with a massive reward like he's a serial killer.. wheres the freedom of speech?

The video is still on the internet if you go looking. He did threaten someone. The person he threatened was not allowed under Thai law.

He stated he will start a civil war and he will personally "light the first explosion"

What about suthep and yourself there monk? When are the police going to arrest both of you and bring you to face the courts?

And while they are at it, they can put out an arrest warrant for Thaksin. Or at least cancel his Thai passport.

And the lese-majeste threaten was just the last straw. Since long time ago he has been pronouncing extremely incendiary hate speeches (some of them followed by action) that, in a normal country, would have made him to be immediately arrested.

Here is one example where he calls for a mass murder of "the elite" and a violent war: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/thailand/10606562/Thai-red-shirts-leader-says-Its-time-to-get-rid-of-the-elite.html

Not to mention the calls for separatism.

How long before some idiot goes to arrest little Goh Tee, the TV star. I heard there's already been some confusion over the names. He's about the coolest little cat in LOS. It's that phony ass monk Issara that needs to be locked up, in a special cell with Suthep.

Vigilante justice is no justice at all, no matter what the case.

This specimen is probably responsible for most of the attacks around the BKK protest sites. He is probably equally responsible for an unknown amount of deaths.

Who cares what method takes him down, as long as he is taken down.... Preferably by a bullet rather than prison.

Let me get this straight...

If you, in my mind, are probably guilty of some really bad offenses, then according to your logic I´m whitin my rights to put a bullet in your head?

You´re a real nutcase in my opinion and I hope you don´t have or never will have children to brainwash with your skewed logic...

I agree that the man is scum, however he must be dealt with through the legal system. If vigilantism succeeds once then it will do so again and again. Following that route leads to chaos without order, justice or truth.

Perhaps it is an early reincarnation of Phra Kittiwuttho and the next step is to announce that killing one's political opposition members is not a sin (mai baap). Of course George's minions handle these imagined lèse-majesté matters with far greater aplomb.

[zydeco]

Not familiar with this guys or what he has said against the monarchy but offering 500,000 "incentive" to the police is an absolute disgrace.

If there is evidence that he has committed this crime then the police should do their duty without any incentives. It looks to me like they are moving heaven and earth to find this man right now involving Interpol etc, not good to see at all.

Did you just get off the boat? This is funny.

maybe he has but had a fortune but then monks here do not renounce what they have nor are they expected to. This is not west monks and its not up to us to criticise the rules that govern monks here. After all church of england vicars which adel irk prestos can marry and have billions.

If I was super rich id happily give much more to see one or more of those who cause so much mayhem here put in prison

LESE MAJESTY LAW

Phra Buddha Issra files complaint against redshirt leader

BANGKOK: -- A senior monk supervising the Chaeng Wattana rally site on Friday filed a complaint with two police stations against a redshirt leader for allegedly insulting the monarchy.

On Friday morning, Phra Buddha Issara and anti-government protesters asked Bangkok’s Don Muang police station to take legal action against Wuthipong Kotthammakhun, also known as Ko Tee.

In the afternoon, the monk filed the same complaint with Kukot police station in Pathum Thani province.

The monk said Wuthipong’s recent interview with a foreign press violated the lese majeste law. The recorded interview has been widely shared on the social networks and police have now warned the public against viewing or sharing it as they could be violating both computer and lese majeste laws.

He gave police seven days to take action concerning the matter otherwise he would return to the police station.

-- The Nation 2014-04-11

So about 100 million baht would be the correct compensation?

Not to mention a guy in dress pretending to be a monk offering bounties is highly immoral .... then again it is consistent with interrogations and holding people against their will and extorting money from hotels. Not exactly one to shout about breaking laws

[noitom]

Why should the police get a reward for doing their job?

[Aceboy99]

A friend of a friend of a friend saw the clip and I have heard from him/her that all the guy really states is what a lot of people already think, but usually just keep to themselves.

[surangw]

so, once again, pay the police extra to do their job.
