Artisi Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 For me, Thai police are the best in the world I'm terrified I'm hallucinating so could you guys kindly confirm you're reading this as well. Cheers. Come on now, you've been here long enough to be fully aware of the excellent policing skills that the RTP are known for throughout the world together with record breaking expertise that is always applied and used in any investigation. Actually their skills are so finely tuned, they can, just 5 minutes after any serious incident advise that no Thai was involved in the event, this has been shown and proven now on many occasions. So it's Ok, you're not hallucinating as he is only reconfirming well known facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar God Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I was going to post the same thing. At least there's one other person here who can look at evidence and come to an intelligent conclusion and not let they low opinion of Thai police or Thais in general cloud their thinking process. The person in the two photos looks like the same person to me. Video of a guy holding a blue plastic bag, walking into a toilet and coming out sans wig, fake glasses, armbands and a in different shirt and holding the same bag seems to be pretty solid evidence. I'm not a huge of the Thai police, many don't have the best reputation but when they do seem to solve a difficult crime, why the bashing then? I'm surprised they were able to locate and arrest so many suspects so quickly. The U.S. with all its technology and reputation for solving difficult crimes doesn't even have video of an airliner crashing into the Pentagon. Even with all the broken cameras, the Thai police have video of this guy planting the bomb, making his getaway and changing clothes. They arrest people red-handed with the same materials used in the two bombs. I'm surprised anyone was able to make such progress. I'd like to see some of these Thai-bashing, armchair quarterbacks do better. It's a lot easier to sit in your chair and second guess and criticize that it is to actually accomplish something, and here the police have. I think they deserve some credit here. Seems quite damning to me, footage of the bomber entering a toilet, out comes with changed clothes and no wig, glasses or armbands, he looks very much like Karadag, then CCTV footage of Karadag wearing the same clothes arriving at his condo. That and the evidence of bomb making makes it a slam dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get banned for saying this as the mods could deem it as flamming but here goes. They have plenty of video, they just aren't showing it to anyone for obvious reasons.

Expat1 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 For the uninitiated here, the Thai Police may or may not be the best police in the world, that is an opinion and judgement call however, one thing must be noted is that here in Thailand, as well as in many Asian countries, the "Bamboo Telegraph" is everywhere. I have seen this countless times in decades in Asia that if someone commits a crime and the authorities really want them (and the issue is not political) they are usually able to locate the perps damn quick through the local "telegraph" system and with a high degree of accuracy. If one commits a serious crime it is advised that one high tail it out of the region asap because chances are they will locate you. Considering the US FBI rate of fugitive acquisition is under 30% (depending who one reads, of course) the Thais and other Asia law enforcement do quite ok.

steffi Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Somehow I am convinced that this poor guy Adem Karadag has nothing to do with the bombing. The picture of the yellow shirted man shows a different person, the body constitution is clearly different, isn't it? The yellow shirted man is more slim. Doesn't the way he has his left arm appear similar? What shoes did he leave the park with? The bag doesn't look like it was carrying shoes.

It would seem that the bag contained the grey shirt before the change of clothes, after the change it is bulging much more, evidently from now being filled with the yellow shirt, wig, glasses and armbands.

phil2 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 So what about the previous press release about the perp hiring a motorcycle taxi to take him to Silom Soi 10, or there about? The confession doesn't really add up, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 "The police chief said that judging from the amount of bomb-making materials found in possession of the suspects in this case, it appeared they were making more than 10 explosive devices. It was fortunate for Thailand that those people were arrested before the bombs were planted, he added." If the above is true, and according to the police that this was not a terrorist attack, how can the authorities state that this was an individual grievance? Sorry, again, if the above is true from the OP, it was not only a terrorist attack but part of a terrorist campaign. To issue statements as anything otherwise would, IMO, be putting the Thai public at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Jones Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 National police chief General Somyot Poompanmuang yesterday declined to confirm that Karadag was the bomber. But he said he believed the police had evidence to prove so."For me, Thai police are the best in the world. I believe police have evidence, but I can't disclose anything further about this," he said. Careful now, the whole World will get pain in stomach from laughing so much at you ... Amazing this guy can be Chief of Police but just show what a mess this country is in ...

silent Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Let's hope they have the right man. This guy was caught with explosive devices when he was arrested and by all accounts was not cooperative at all. If he is the man, one must congratulate the Thai Police. It was a neighbour who lived in the same building as the bomber who tipped the police. Then the police gave the reward of 3 million to themselves. Yabut they had to appear trustworthy, or might have got misinformed. That's 90% of a quality investigation anywhere.

elgordo38 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 does he still have all his toenails attached, and no missing nuts ? I am sure a doctor checks him daily and then tells interrogators its "good to go" Get a thick phone book out and lay it on his chest and then hammer away.

ourmanflint Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 As I have said before all this is very easy to verify if they wanted to. Just make him reenact what he did and view it from same CCTV camera as before, if its the same guy his height will give it away, if he's not the guy the CCTV footage will be obviously different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdoglover Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 When he was arrested in the apartment, I thought, this guy is very dumb and probably not the bomber. Now I am thinking, this guy is very dumb and could be the bomber. Even with the babbling RTP, it's worth keeping an open mind. Speaking of minds, where is that guy who left via Dhaka, Delhi, and Dubai? Long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffel45 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Confessed? Really? I mean really and truly, "It was me what dunnit guv." Or is it just, yet another of those "special confessions", written by the interrogator and signed by the accused. A Koh Tao confession is after all a confession, obtained freely and without any duress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
