March 9, 201511 yr Popular Post Ha! Justice in Thailand is hilarious. The whole system wastes so much money trying people, finding them guilty, then just releasing them again.

March 10, 201511 yr Doesn't appear too worried as he is taking the opportunity to cop a feel. Where's his other hand It's his daughter! But the squeeze on his left would be up for some hong norn gymnastics I would imagine. It's been a while.
March 10, 201511 yr Popular Post Interesting how protest leaders and defenders of the poor always seem to manage the odd million bail money. Especially with various cases progressing in parallel.
March 10, 201511 yr Popular Post So they were sentenced to jail then immediately freed on bail ?. Reminds me of the police convicted for murder then also given bail. If this country wants the rest of the world to stop laughing at it, it needs to stop headlines like this.
March 10, 201511 yr Just once it would be nice if they said "no bail" and makw them sit in jail during appeal .. guess that never happens to those woth money
March 10, 201511 yr Popular Post at first it looked like finally they start implementing justice - but then free them after their well deserved conviction ! Nothing but a bad joke
March 10, 201511 yr Was it Mr. T who bailed him out? The judge probably got a new Ferrari in his carport now.
March 10, 201511 yr Popular Post You're looking at the cream of the Red Shirt crop, folks. Thaksin should be proud these are the guys who represent him in Thailand.
March 10, 201511 yr Popular Post Well most of the red shirts are found guilty, very quick work. What happened to the yellow shirts that raided the airport and made the country look stupid? Did they let them go or I did missed the news?
March 10, 201511 yr This country is not going anywhere in the next 50 years or so! Where is this country going after 50 years? Perhaps a holiday in Europe? Or Maybe a relocation to the moon
March 10, 201511 yr Is there any other country in the world where jailed convicts can post bail and be freed?
March 10, 201511 yr Popular Post Well most of the red shirts are found guilty, very quick work. What happened to the yellow shirts that raided the airport and made the country look stupid? Did they let them go or I did missed the news? You should pay attention. They already left the airport more than six years ago. They even cleaned up before leaving. PAD leaders have been sued for years already and the process is in the last stages of appeal. In a separate charge PAD leaders have been convicted to pay 500 or 600 million Baht in damages. Also in appeal I think. The case of the topic has just passed the first level court only. No doubts appeals will follow as bail was asked and granted.
March 10, 201511 yr Well most of the red shirts are found guilty, very quick work. What happened to the yellow shirts that raided the airport and made the country look stupid? Did they let them go or I did missed the news? Don't you think this travesty of justice makes the country look stupid?
March 10, 201511 yr Where are all the Red Shirt supporters who oppose bail? If the Yellow shirts shouldn't get bail whey should this lot, ESPECIALLY as there are Red Shirt supporter but of a much lower class STILL in jail because they cannot get bail. Dual standards once again.
March 10, 201511 yr I can't recall the actual story but a couple of months ago some semi famous bloke was found guilty of Murder and then got bail ?
March 10, 201511 yr Doesn't appear too worried as he is taking the opportunity to cop a feel. Where's his other hand Doesn't the smile give it away?

March 10, 201511 yr I can't recall the actual story but a couple of months ago some semi famous bloke was found guilty of Murder and then got bail ? I think it was Kalasin where 2 policemen got the death penalty for murder last year, they were freed on bail the next day.
March 10, 201511 yr What a joke of a system Thailand has, charge you, take years to get to court, find you guilty, sentence you, send you to jail for a few days, then out on bail for another few years to death, what a JOKE
