Popular Post JusticeGB Posted August 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2020 Arrest all policemen and the detected crime rate will go down. Certainly corruption will fall and anyway half the police have probably been transferred to inactive posts anyway! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plans to put all the island’s criminals to work selling flowers (see photo). This will give them a profitable livelihood, a sense of personal satisfaction, a pleasant smell, and a reason to turn away from a sad and tragic life of crime. All forms of crime in Phuket will soon be completely eliminated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torturedsole Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Give the Phuket police a break. Rising crime involves work and might not necessarily pay off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
