DLang Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The justice system is set up perfectly. The country as a whole is nearly there. Just needs a few more years on the current path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvr181 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Anyone surprised? Throw a person in jail for feeding fish but not prosecute a person who killed someone! Will there be no end to injustice and corruption? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboon Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I sometimes wonder what it will take for the Thais who are decent to rise up and give it this lot right up the jacksy! Of course teaching them the hierarchy from birth and drumming it in with force at birth doesnt help. Without singling you out, if you are doing nothing except complaining and not out rioting, then you are accepting such practices and giving legitimacy to the current system.I remember years ago when everyone was saying how the military would put an end to corruption and how the Thaksin voters were stupid and ignorant. Now who are the stupid and ignorant people? Sorry but Thailand have ended up with the leaders that they deserve. Still the Thaksin voters - or do you think they voted this criminal because of cleverness and understanding? Dear sweatalot. Since you obviously can't bear to see anyone speak negatively of the junta maybe you can explain to us how you still believe the "PM" when he says that none are above the law in Thailand?Thank you for your kind consideration! 'Goodness me, is that the time' or 'Ha! So what about when Thaksin did something completely unrelated eleven years ago?'Take your pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Guess they're content with this place keeping its 3rd world status for more decades to come. As long as they're at the top, and can continue to help themselves to the nations assets, I doubt that they would care if this place was rubbing shoulders with the likes of, oh I don't know, South Sudan? Thailand is a long long way from that condition of course, but the trajectory is definitely downwards. Still, they're all right ; until one day the crowd comes down the street.... They'll need those fast cars then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khon Kaen Dave Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 After all this,and the selective memory of the guy who promised the arrest of this cretin,plus all the other 'elites' that have got away with murder,plus the people trafficking and the total disregard of human rights.dd it all up.How on earth can this country expect global organisations,such as the UN to take them seriously?

jamesbrock Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 is this the kind of JUSTICE the PM spoke about ? money speaks, only poor sods & farangs go to jail what about a farang with money? There are some, you know! Yes, just ask the Aussie who murdered the bouncer in Phuket, and police dropped charges the because he agreed to pay the next of kin 1.2 million baht ($A48,000) in compensation a review of the exceedingly low resolution security camera footage of the incident exonerated him...

kannot Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 This just shows how detached Thailand is from the rest of the World. For a state prosecutor to say such ridiculous things and then run away is such a shameful thing to do. Prosecutors in other countries would hang their heads in shame. Thailand really is like a bubble, it has it's own rules that seem like they have been in place for a thousand years, but they look so out of place in the modern World. Just turning away from this is just not acceptable behaviour today, the guy did wrong and no matter how rich he is he should face justice. This thinking, along with Face, xenophobia and coupled with the political instability is why Thailand will lose out to the Philippines and Vietnam in the not too distant future. They are both already rapidly closing the gap and Thailand is going backwards dramatically in GDP whilst the Philippines will see 7% growth this year. Thailand needs to reform and grow up and do it quickly. If the military really want to gain some popularity they could intervene here and bring this guy to trial. the problem is so many are corrupt you would probably have to shove 80% of the population in jail, best they could do announce total amnesty and after start bangng them up with daily finger pointings on all news broadcasts as they enter the BKK Hilton.

Alive Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Prayut's limp-wristed anti-corruption techniques don't seem to be working as no one that the people want behind bars are put behind bars. At least the general could conscript this little turd and let him jump out of an airplane without a parachute for punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you on all of this EXCEPT you seem to ignore the 'rest of the world' has all these problems. Selective justice? Yup. They've simply done the deal outside a courtroom here.

dhream Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Please state how this is different? Apart from the fact 'justice' was sort of seen to be done? Stanford rape case anyone? Same judge just sent a latino service worker to jail for 3 years for a much lesser one time sexual assault. Fair isn't fair. Law 101. Everywhere. same old lame excuse.......please state the percentages of each country that "get away with it" just to give it some clarity Let me repeat that for you. Fair is not fair.

off road pat Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 No even charged yet !, they must be waiting until the statute of limitations runs out. an utter disgrace. regards worgeordie The statue of limitations is used successfully in the west too, specially in big cases were there is ample proof of the culpability of the (wealthy, Powerful) perpetrator...

hawker9000 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I just don't understand: where are the omnipresent defenders of Thai culture in this thread? I'm dying to hear their defense of all this, along with of course the usual stern - yet oddly amusing - admonition to love it or leave it. Instead, this has to be the least "dissented" topics I think I've seen in years on TV. Maybe ever. I personally can't even imagine how embarrassing it must be to stand in front of the media and deliver this kind of nonsense (and after 8 years of Obama, that's saying something!).
