cmsally Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Quote The predawn drug bust codenamed “Midtown Bangkok Daybreak Drug Offensive 2/60” Isn't the whole idea of a code name, as being short, easy to say and remember!! You can just see the guy on the "radio" announcing they are ready to start but being delayed for at least 15mins while he gets the name of the "operation" correct.

tomacht8 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 A big raid with over 200 policemen, and they catched only 2 ganja smokers? Much smoke for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaltsc Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 "...two suspects were arrested for having marijuana in possession..." Probably would have been more successful if they threw 5 rocks in different directions and busted whomever they hit. Would have saved a lot of manpower...but...Wasn't the point to show how busy your police are at protecting you from ganga smokers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulwell53 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Shock horror..Thailand becomes one of the many countries where the real drug barons continue untouched and low level dealers get caught. Good old best in the world back home has exactly the same issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
