55Jay Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Jeez, they pulled out all the stops to celebrate this victory, stumbled upon through no actual effort on their part. Look at the full article link - big poster on the wall, media, posed shots. Weird. Well, at least they've gotten rid of the duck lips selfies, and no more "pointing" poses.

M71 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Funny stuff indeed - considering governments are the biggest drug dealers on the planet - gotta throw a 'drug dealer' out there now and then to keep the deception alive for the idiot sheeple majority. Who do you think runs the poppy fields in Afghanistan - Santa Clause? Or perhaps a military which has occupied it for the last 15 years for no particular reason.

My understanding that govt in certain countrys own poppy fields, the reason is that so many drugs are used on a day to day basis, anesthetics in operating theaters, and general use for tablets. I was on a tablet many years ago to stop migrains, it worked well, however I googled the name up and found that is was methersergide, algot, lsd but refined.

Jimdandy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Just goes to show you can get away with a crime sometimes, but eventually, no matter what you think about the local police or the government you can still be brought to justice. Imagine that, now he gets to spend the last years of his life in the legal system. Good job, USA/Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortTimed Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 All those years with the stress of being on the lam and now his future ability to return to Thailand not favorable after having made a life here for decades.

Duck J Butters Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The real question is, with all the access to cheap and “quite good” plastic surgery in Thailand, why on Earth did this man not have facial reconstructive surgery or at least change up his nose and chin? Even a dramatic nose job would have thrown facial recognition software way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is getting cheap ID from Nigerians, do you think he is loaded? So no he would not be getting facial reconstruction surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 776 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Long gone are the days ofthe 30’s and 40’s when you could rob a bank or murder someone and just go to another state or another country and be totally anonymous. With technology now a days..........like someone said above the world has become a much smaller place. One thing that will never change.........at some point they always return to the scene of the crime. They return or they call a friend or family member, they make a mistake, they get recognized in a place they think no one will ever see me here. Whitey Bulger, the Boston Irish mob kingpin, murderer, child molester.......managed for 16 yrs until his girlfriend was recognized living in Santa Monica CA. Its just a matter of time with todays technology and it will be a long time before any fugitive has a 16 yr life on the lam again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
