On this forum any chance to bash a Yank,  is Taken....Yank Bashers

Yes, very odd that... Especially given what a humble, self deprecating nation of people the Americans are. Never sticking their noses into other peoples business, or espousing their perceived superiority over the rest of the world. It baffles me...

TiT no? The media that's reporting him brain dead is the same media that's misreported several times a day on this relatively short drama.

 

I mean with all the hoopla about farangs and balconies, I would hope the cops have made sure his hospital room is on the ground floor.

 

Apart from that, everyone knows that farang brain dead not same-same Thai brain dead.

So so bitter and nasty, just go back home it's easy ????

 

why are the cops brain dead? Is the suspect brain dead? nothing solid to confirm the suspect is 'braindead', but you are so fast (amongst many others) to just slam the cops.

I dare say that somebody's having a hissy, welcome to TVF, perhaps a little unfamiliar with other members here, you see, we slam just about everything on TVF, it's called freedom of speech, we slam, this, we slam that, we even eat our own slam, you must be wearing your G-string back the front because you've left yourself a little exposed.

 

As long as we play by the rules, we can slam on, and we most certainly don't tell others what to do, like barger off home, do we boys ????

[Scot123]

Some people need to take a chill pill. It's called banter/chit chat etc. The attitude of "if you don't like it leave" or calling people bitter or Thai bashing..... Just get a life. The police deserve every bit of ridicule and hospitals deserve a dig too. Yes they should be guarded but why make a big deal about it. Oh and many expats do just get up and leave when they have had enough and I was one of them (now 7 months back home and regretting wasting 9 years in a country that I or my children would never be excepted or secure in a future having to live a year at a time).

Indirectly, I suspect we all are going to have to pay

[Thingamabob]

Can we be sure he's brain dead ? 

[DaRoadrunner]

1. Judging from the standard of ever changing inaccurate reports, the ones actually brain dead are the Thai press.

 

2. Police claim they never fired a shot.... Hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure his just playing brain dead waiting for his chance to get up and leave when mister plod gets his envelope and goes to the dunny.

[tifino]

the way this has turned out, he actually will soon get that  'ghost' of a chance to escape from his cell...

[Samuel Smith]

The hospital will run up a nice padded bill for keeping him alive, until relatives turn up to authorize switching off the life support & collect his body ????

Earlier reports suggested he had shot her then turned the gun on himself. 

 

Here we go again. Not 'suggested'. Stated. An exceptionally high-profile case, and so you would expect every media report would be seriously scrutinised by the editor before publishing. But no. She's caught, but she wasn't. He was dead, but he isn't. He shot her, but he didn't, at least intentionally. At least in my native UK they make stuff up to sell papers. In Thailand they are just grossly incompetent. As I've written elsewhere, I've often worked with Thai journalists and not one would last a week in the real world. Even so, you would expect an editor to check sources and facts before publishing the garbage his reporters produce.

Same for most professions in Thailand.

[smudger1951]

Maybe you could argue that this man was brain dead since birth to come to Thailand and end up in that hospital bed because of his antics.

[Emdog]

Brain dead? Maybe TAT or immigration can hire him as a consultant.

Unlike other feral expats caught by Thai police with a kilo of meth in their bag and a demon tattoo across their chest - most of those blokes are f%&*ing geniuses.

Yet to find one.

Wouldn't be the first person in Thailand to be kept going on a respirator long past the time the lights have gone out. 

[Anotify]

Epstein did the Houdini trick.. And he was on suicide watch,  cameras,  guards,  the whole nine yards.. So you never know.. Can someone fake brain death?  There is always a first... 

[Denim]

There are so many conflicting reports here that if Boris Johnson or Trump somehow got a mention in this case next week I would no longer be surprised.
