A Radical Experiment: How Elon Musk Could Shake Up Washington
Much to my surprise, you said something I can agree with. IMO the Vietnam war was the start of the rot, when certain companies made massive profits from providing death machines for a corrupt war. They liked it so much they have been going to war ever since. -

Man Arrested for Murder of Neighbour in Khon Kaen's Phon District
Police in Khon Kaen on November 15, apprehended a man who allegedly murdered his neighbour in a violent attack with a fishing spear. The suspect, 49-year-old Thawatchai Piwkham, reportedly admitted to killing 55-year-old Boonkong Divo due to feelings of frustration and stress following his mother's recent death. The incident occurred in a rice field near Ban Sakaeo, Moo 8, Kaeng Ngiew Subdistrict. Authorities found Mr. Boonkong lying face-up by a canal, with eight stab wounds in his neck inflicted by a sharp metal spear used for fishing. Following the attack, Mr. Thawatchai fled on foot into a nearby rice field but was apprehended about 500 metres from the crime scene by investigators from Phon Police Station. Mr. Thawatchai led officers to the murder weapon, a blood- stained fishing spear, abandoned roughly 50 metres from the scene. He was taken into custody and transported to the police station for further questioning. During interrogation, Mr. Thawatchai confessed to the killing, explaining that his mother had passed away only two days earlier, leaving him distraught and unable to cope. He claimed that seeing Mr. Boonkong's face triggered feelings of anger, prompting him to attack. According to Mr. Thawatchai, he struck Mr. Boonkong, causing him to fall into the canal, then fatally stabbed him only once with the spear before fleeing. Police charged Mr. Thawatchai with premeditated murder. A search of his home revealed drug paraphernalia, and records indicated a prior drug-related offense. Relatives of the victim described ongoing tension between the two men. Mr. Chalerm, the victim's nephew, explained that the family had rented a neighbouring rice field for the past six years. Mr. Thawatchai recently returned to the area from Bangkok, whereupon he began frequently antagonising the family, demanding to know why they were working nearby. Despite repeated confrontations, Mr. Chalerm had previously attempted to ignore the provocations, shocked by the brutal outcome of the long-standing animosity. Meanwhile, Ms. Nooka, 60, the grandmother of the accused, shared that Mr. Thawatchai was deeply affected by his mother's and grandfather's recent deaths. She noted that Mr. Thawatchai had once been a helpful person, often sharing fish with his grandfather. Although she was unaware of any specific grievances between her grandson and the victim, Ms. Nooka acknowledged the tragedy and expressed sorrow for all involved.

Police ‘sidecar’ into bust: Drug suspect nabbed in undercover sting
Police officers in disguise successfully apprehended a major drug suspect by blending seamlessly into the local community. Disguised as locals, they rode a sidecar motorcycle to the suspect’s home, where they arrested him without raising suspicion. Officers from the Elephant Warriors unit of the 434th Border Patrol Police Company in Phatthalung, led by Yothaphon Rungsawat, orchestrated the arrest. The team disguised themselves as ordinary villagers, donning simple gardening clothes and using a sidecar motorcycle to approach the residence of Jarint Kongklai, a 28 year old suspect in a drug-related case. Intelligence had revealed that Jarint had returned to stay at his home in Moo 13, Ban Chai Han, Khok Sai subdistrict, Pa Bon district, prompting the officers to execute their plan. The police aimed to blend in with the local environment to avoid arousing any suspicion. Their choice of a sidecar motorcycle was strategic, as it is a common mode of transportation in the area, thus ensuring that their approach appeared routine. Upon reaching the suspect’s house, they found Jarint sound asleep, unaware of the impending arrest, as the motorcycle made no unusual noise to alert him. The officers surrounded the house and woke him up to present the arrest warrant. Initially, Jarint resisted arrest, requesting to see his mother first. However, he eventually conceded to the police. His mother, upon learning of the arrest, was quoted saying, “This time, let him stay inside for a long time.” His criminal history is extensive, starting in 2016 with a drug case at Hat Yai Police Station, followed by another drug case in 2019 at Rattaphum Police Station. In 2022, he was involved in a theft case at Pa Bon Police Station, reported KhaoSod. In 2024, he faced yet another drug-related case at Pa Bon Police Station. Jarint has served time twice in different prisons, first being released from Nonthaburi Provincial Prison in 2020, and most recently from Phatthalung Central Prison in 2023 for a theft conviction. by Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of Matichon Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-11-16 -
