Maybe he reasoned the cops needed a prodigious amount of tea and sympathy! coffee1.gif

Tv.com never disappoints. Yet another nice story is pissed on by the usual cynics. You boys need to get out more ... or at least once.

It's not hard to see why, HerbalEd.

Notwithstanding, when I see real hardship in LOS, believe me, it isn't the boys in brown.

and what do you think the thai police are thinking.IDIOT.

hmmmm.....mommy.....why has that man got a brown nose?

Either paying to get out of future charges brought against him….or setting himself up to be fleeced dry.

As a US citizen, I'm embarrassed that one of my fellow countrymen is so stupid...perhaps he lives in a bubble or has a family member among the BIB...an idiot.

Could have set up a number of scholarships to help poor children to obtain education...but prefers to buy more whiskey for the mafia...

Pre-Bribery... Westerners do display forethought, after all.

A true American! Sure he will also find a way to get the tax deduction in the U.S. for his donation.

This is 100% BS on every level. To which I raised a sarcastic eye when I read..., "[Jim] supplies entertainment industry such as pool tables" followed by "1.3M THB set aside for interest-free loans for 6 month. Pay or we send police.

P.T. Barnum.

Hmmmm...Could that be misconstrued as graft and corruption in the form of gratuity....I wonder.

Because he just bought himself a tall stack of: "Get Out of Jail Free Cards"

Cheers

If I was in a position to help a person in desperate need and considering suicide due to financial problems I would do everything I could.........no matter what his occupation is.

Rookie cops start at 15K a month and have to provide their own uniforms, equipment and transportation. He and his wife already support many other charities and people in need. A public donation like this means it doesn't go into a 'private' charity fund. I might have picked a different group to donate to but it is his money and I applaud him for giving it back to his community. Maybe all you cynics commenting can enumerate your many charity contributions to balance your snide remarks.

To the police....of all things facepalm.gif

brilliant move! the boy is now untouchable!

Is that the price for a pre-paid no charges ticket?

They also have to buy their own service weapon and motorbike.

"bite tongue"

Better tell truth.

Independence Day:

Celebrate 240 Years of “Profit Driven Genocide”:

African Slaves, Native Americans, Mexicans, Filipinos,

She does have the face for radio though.

I thought his wife Jum was standing to his right, in the grey top, and the lady holding the banner was Jum's mother. Maybe I'm wrong?

how about give some for poor poeple ...

I think some miss the point that he operates a CASH business for entertainment; pool tables, ATM's (what do the banks think losing 20-30 baht per transaction), etc... 500k is a small price for no re-portable income (TAXES), and police protection, not bad, who said CRIME doesn't pay?

Hard to get that stink off your nose.

Why would he hand over his wife to police as well?

I proudly give to my high school alumni association...it's tuition costs are now $36,000 a year so a very good cause...

That is the business he is operating back in Guam and Saipan.

And exactly which crime are you accusing him of here?

"fell in love 2002" In 14 years - even I changed a lot! rolleyes.giftongue.png

"The money will be used for an interest free emergency fund to help police officers who find themselves in financial difficulties" So the money has already been spent!

He is just planning to stay longer then favor for favor........

And just make other Farangs look pretty stupid. Guys like this are the reason that so many Thais think that every Farang must have a magical bank account with unlimited funds on it.
