I love it when they get tough like this and show who is "the man"!

Yes they are selectively tough for sure. Did a film crew slip in and start filming The Life and Times of Monk Dhammachayo? Take 35? They seem to have run out of carrots to coax him out. Funny they are going to proceed with charges without him physical attending? Maybe a TV hookup after he has had breakfast and prayers would work. If and I say if this goes to trial the bookies have a clear cut winning bet. I doubt if politically one judge in the land would want to be the deciding authority of his innocence or guilt. The word Untouchable comes to mind.

Wouldn't make any difference, here, there - they are untouchable...

far all the police knows he could be sat on a beach in the bahama's, thailand doesnt have an extradition treaty with them.

" He added that the police would give the monk until the end of this month to surrender otherwise the police would proceed with the case to the Office of Attorney General in the same way that the Department of Special of Investigation in the handling of the money laundering and receiving stolen valuable charges against the embattled monk"

 

So that'll be do nothing then.

Too deep was it? Is American your first language by chance?

Being to rough with this guy could cancel any hope of a decent after life. Being part of any arresting party will surely doom you to being a cockroach the next time around. God I hope there isn't one.

After the deadline more extensions,why not at the deadline send the army in and arrest anyone and everyone who gets in the way

History has it that a Thai deadline is simply a nominated date prior to which a new deadline must be set.

Please be a good little monk, hand yourself in.

If you do not hand yourself in were are <deleted> as we are scared of you and your minions.

Still might be a step up the karmic ladder....

This good citizen will want to get these false charges behind him ASAP so I expect him to show himself on Monday morning.

The absolute, very last, red-line in the sand, "we're not kidding this time", end-of-the-month (which month?), ultimatum. 

Yeah, ok!

Is this the Hindu form of untouchable? 555

There definitely is a caste system here "The police being cast in a bad light. 

A ' revered institution ' status certainly goes a long way here so instead of punishing some of the top people who drag it into the gutter they're protected to protect the institution instead of hammering them as they should be for disgracing it.

Selective justice - ad nauseam ad infinitum (done and repeated so often: the same way forever).
