As all on this forum know, there are drawbacks living in and visiting "paradise". My biggest drawback is I just can't get enough!Hopefully that will change soon.

I would suggest that Mad Uncle Too was 'prevailed upon' by someone who was getting a bit wobbly and who had a few too many markers on the table. Of one kind or another. A favour's a favour right?

I think you're right, friend. Of course it's likely to be more upsetting for some than for others. Personally, I don't expect to be upset in the slightest, but then I believe that people generally are who they have chosen to be, and if you choose to be a SH, then you really don't have anyone to blame but yourself when you are one. The Universe is a funny old place, it has a way of balancing the scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookiescot Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Suspect the reason for aiming so low was to prevent collateral damage. If they had shot out the windows some innocent passer by or someone in the buildings on the other side of the car might have been hit. Indeed given the window tint Big Joke could have been sitting in the car and you wouldn't know it. For me definitely a warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaZa9 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The cameras never work - even for Big Joke. In pointing that out , he's telling everyone that he has enemies WITHIN the Police Force without accusing anybody.

jackinthebox Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Am I the only one here who wonders why BigJoke is not in the slightest embarrased being "caught" in a massage parlor? Do state-officials and politicians really park their cars openly in the street, next to the entrance-door? Can all the ministers, gouvernors etc. be found in Patpong, Ratchadapisek or New Petchaburi road? Or could it be that one of them even sits next to you (as a customer!) in Nana-entertainment area?

Most Thais make as little as 150 to 300 Baht a day. But even here in Chiang Rai, I see Mercedes and BMWs almost every day. Doubt they are part of the Big 5 Richest Families in Thailand. So, there is a huge gap in income inequality here, one of the highest in the world. Second only to Russia, where Putin and his Oligarch cronies are robbing the Russian people blind. Literally. Most Russians believe only Putin can fix the corruption. ???????????????????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If shot from waist level they went through the floorboards with no real damage. The message is clear but no real damage to the car? Why wouldn't they inflict max damage? I hope he lives to reveal the truth It could be concluded that the shooter has some very good firearms training, just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
