Bluespunk Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Wish I'd been there as they tried to pronounce some of those names. Few tricky ones in there. Any reason the Koreans are not named….no potential comedy value? Also what's with the different t shirts? Koreans all in orange, others in that foul lime green colour. Is there some sort of policy that determines shirt colour in accordance with crime? Edited April 10, 2015 by Bluespunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This business of covering the face in photos has to stop! There should be no pictures. Innocent until proven guilty! Several foreigners are wanted on outstanding warrants. That means they have committed an offense sufficient to convince the foreign judiciaries that they were to be arrested. Of course there should be pictures, as it is part of the "transparency" process. We can see that they have not been beaten or tortured. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can tell people are scumbags just by looking at them. I suppose if you see me I would be one as I have some tattoos. I do however have an education and some morals. It's just possible that some of these scumbags you talk of have as much right to visit as you. Well done to the police. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not that naïve so it must be the latter. Convince foreign judiciaries? It's opinion now and not law? You actually believe that you can see they have not been beaten or tortured? Yet? Yep, you're trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be innocent. I think they must be innocent because nobody is pointing a finger at anything in the picture, besides there should be all the evidence laid out in front of them with each one of the guys pointing a finger at his incriminating evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this because of the cries of outrage, disgust and horror when a alleged villain is caught in Thailand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on posting without reading my post carefully. i acknowledged they were tricky. Never said I'd do any better. The Finnish guy's in particular looks like it's full of potential for error. Hungarian's as well would be bit of a twister for myself.

Neeranam Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Wonderful - this has made my day. I now feel like I am one of the wanted tourists and feel no guilt as I head on down to Nana Plaza tonight to abuse some poor Isarn girls. It's amazing the lack of compassion a farang has for one of his fellow race. Instead it downright self-righteous contempt and judgement. As someone wise once said, "when you are pointing your finger at someone, there are three pointing at yourself. If you take pleasure in seeing foreigner down on their luck, look closely at yourself and you'll probably find something lacking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are generally some very unsavory looking, dissipated foreigners wondering around in Thailand. It is cringe worthy at times. Not every one is blessed with good looks but everyone can at least dress decently and be well groomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
