TallGuyJohninBKK Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Was this the last that was heard of him, and his prior legal troubles??? http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Deal-sought-for-accused-driver-30183000.html?fb_comment_id=10150922387979293_22144456 Quote He said Chonlawit was 17 when the incident occurred, and could not have had a driving licence. Pol Lt-Colonel Natthapol Kominchart, the deputy superintendent of Express Way Traffic Control Police Centre 1, said he believed the two did not intend to escape. Police would accuse Chonlawit of neglectful driving causing people to be severely injured and fleeing the scene. The suspect may face jail of up to three years and/or a fine up to Bt6,000. I'm guessing that didn't happen...except perhaps for the tiny fine amount. Life is really cheap here.

Money and power can over ride morality, law and justice most of the time. The rich and powerful sociopathic psychos have no laws they cannot subjugate / quell / suppress ... criminal corruption is now a world wide actuality / fact ... It seems that there is nothing in today's world that cannot be crushed / hidden / extinguished if one has enough money / power / connections ... there are laws for the masses and none for the rich / powerful / connected so called hi-so of the world ... It is a condition that we the people have allowed to flourish and grow in every country on earth ... you / I / we can bitch / complain / rant all we want but it still exists and gets more obvious every day Any Westerner who disliked such behaviour and chose to live in (or be interested in) Thailand must find it very difficult indeed. For in Thailand such behaviour seems very much more "obvious" (and very much less responded to) than in any Western Liberal Democracy I can think of. Such claims of "parity" always bring to mind the several occasions upon which the Princess Royal of Great Britain (Princess Anne) has been prosecuted and punished for breaking laws of one sort or another. Here is a recent example of "hi-so" punishment in the West: Who is the viscount jailed for inciting violence against Gina Miller? www.independent.co.uk › News › UK › Crime 14 Jul 2017 - It's Lord St Davids.” Read more. Viscount who offered money for killing of Brexit campaigner jailed ... Philipps was accused of sending a racially aggravated Facebook post about the anti-Brexit campaigner Gina Miller.

Sydebolle Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 If the present powers-to-be are serious then it is overdue to bring such idiots to a screeching end. Reprimand them to the full extent of the law, lock 'em up and throw away the keys. It starts of course with the BiB - the mother of all operational evil in this country. The girl of course is no better either; she thought she's the one and getting nailed by an ATM. Touch luck, the story went wrong - which does not implicate that I agree to what has happened to her. But if you bed such d"*ç%*çheads then you have to assess the possible risk you're in once it's time to plan the baby shower. Until then, cream as much cash as possible off and make sure you're not getting pregnant. It's not a question if but when they get dumped for the next pretty!

spidermike007 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 He will not be arrested. And if he is arrested he will not be charged. And if he is charged he will not go to trial. And if he goes to trial, he will not be convicted. And if he goes to trial, and in the incredibly unlikely event of him getting convicted, he will either be paroled immediately, or will not have to serve any time in prison. Guys like this do not go to prison. Period. Above the law. Any and all laws. Including, and especially the Army. Always remember one thing. The General was installed to protect guys like him. To prevent the elite, the powerful, the connected, the influential, the wealthy, or those in power from ever having to face the consequences of their actions. There are the occasional crimes that are so heinous, and get worldwide attention, as in the case of General Manas, who was recently convicted of human trafficking, that they cannot be ignored. But, they are rare, and the absolute exception to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give up someone and hope the rest of the world does not notice that the feudal system and double standards of justice is alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
