Muirton Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 But how is the country going to operate without a police force ? How did you come up with the idea that the LOS "operates"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirton Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 "the government was considering introducing a law to prohibit the carrying of weapons" So carrying of weapons in Thailand is allowed? Yes, when the Thai army kills students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirton Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 This place is so medieval at times. Once again, if they were even vaguely serious about any of this they would put all their efforts into reforming the police and the courts. That they have done nothing of the sort speaks volumes. Then, when your whole regime is completely illegitimate I guess it's hard to shout loudly about the rule of law. Illegitimate - not according to the ultimate authority. Certainly no more so than a government who handed power to a corrupt criminal fugitive who even paid them all a salary, awarded positions and shuffled regularly to get all the noses in the trough. His government left the police alone to do as they pleases in return for "support" for it's followers when required. Shins and the rule of law - Only have time for the law when it serves their purpose, otherwise couldn't give a shit. Until the entire judicial system and law enforcement process is reformed this will simply continue. Maybe this will be more successful than Yingluck's much vaunted fight against corruption - although she did say there was no corruption in "her" government. 555 Talk about living in the past! Could we pse get shut of this "But but Thaksin" blx and stick to the current thread which is about THIS govt. Amazing - TVF Shin fan club. Any thread about the Shins attracting comments they don't like, divert with "but the Junta, the general, the Dems, Suthep, Abhisit, or the amart / elites. But make sure no one compares any criticism of the current government to the past multiple Thaksin puppet governments. Thaksin and his puppet regimes have held power for the vast majority of this century. During which, they have completely ignored all corruption within law enforcement; and even used that corruption to their advantage when necessary. So yes, they and their unique style of governance are relevant to this thread. You are entitled to your opinion. It's a free country. Thailand's future is Taksin. No Taksin, no future.

Muirton Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 A Thai problem for Thais to work out. My petty squeaks make no difference except to add to the droning, background noise. Then don't type. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaloo Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 More Lip Service. Joke of jokes. You would have to sack more than 95% of the Police force and Immigration as well to even think about getting a good start !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtsabai Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'll believe a real "mafia crackdown" when the island families are all in prison, the US executes a corporation and pigs with lipstick fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I think that all gangs, including the Thai Mafia, have bosses. Rich bosses , who are seldom if ever caught, or even revealed as to who they are. I agree, that this crack down, will likely not put more than a dent in the mafia situation in Thailand.

There have been several high profile "bosses" caught. Follow the news for a longer period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
