By his track record he should consider other employment

When you get arrested, and give the thumbs up with a dozen cops around you......everyone then knows that you're a real d**k.......!!

[Somtamnication]

Such negativity. He is obviously congratulating the cops for a job well done; a rare event in these here place.

[NamKangMan]

By his track record he should consider other employment

"Other employment" involves actually working.

As a young, lazy, Thai male, on Phuket, much easier to just rob people.

Think about that, next time you drive past a construction site and see the Burmese laborers working.

Sometimes i have this strange feeling that we all get fooled by the bib....

PR is a serious instrument in keeping the truth behind the curtains.

This guy with his thumbs up in full view...and a guard who forced Lao women in to sex, disguised wearing dark glasses and mouth peace.

I have to admit i dream a lot.(here)
