sandemara Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I hope some enterprising tv production company has had a film crew on location and at press conferences. All the makings a great lakorn; who could outdo the script so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Wake up everybody. No one in authority has any intention to bring this guy to justice. All paid off a long time ago, with plenty more where that came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good media spokesman for the government could easliy turn it around and lay the blame squarely at the feet of the 'abbot' and the rest of the cult. As for 'human disaster', again, HARDLY. Especially if said 'human tragedy' is SELF INFLICTED. And for what purpose? The support of a CRIMINAL. Not a tragedy at all. Just a bunch of brain dead cultists. Well said!

So it looks like the threat of self harm was made up by the authorities,as an excuse to do nothing", so now it looks like its going to be plan G, regards worgeordie How opportune to claim it was made by the authorities?

The Deerhunter Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Authorities reassess strategy to arrest Dhammachayo Well it shouldn't take as long to reassess that strategy as it would take to reassess all the strategies they came up with TO AVOID ARRESTING HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The authorities have allowed this situation to get to where it is and it reflects no credit on them whatsoever. A lost cause and a complete fiasco of monumental proportions.

Artisi Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 7 hours ago, scorecard said: Agree. I suspect it's just delaying tactics, or just a bluff. IMHO if any followers do 'cut' themselves then I don't believe they could convince any serious investigation that their 'cut' was justified. In fact I suggest it would be interesting to ask these 'cutters' (if it happened) to explain in detail why they support the rogue, now removed, thieving monk (who already has a history) and why, in detail, they believe it's OK to ignore and/or break numerous laws of Thailand, laws which are standard in any country in the world to build and maintain a civil society. And also why they think it's all OK to steal hard earned money from the poor depositors to the credit union. And ask if the followers believe the philosophies of this monk / temple are aligned with the principal teachings of the buddha. That would be far too complicated for the majority to comprehend and the balance couldn't care less as it's in their interests for it to stay as it is.
