Popular Post colinneil Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 Poor young man, got a family, but will no longer be able to support them, tragic. Due to yet another drunken policeman acting like a clown. My heart goes out to Aroon and his family, so young to be left paralyzed, unable to do things that before were just routine. That damned disgrace Pornthep should be put up against a wall and shot. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TooBigToFit Posted April 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2021 Make him pay dearly. Take away everything from him and give it to the victim. Put him in with the regular prisoners for life and make sure he gets treated equally as the rest. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he will be put with regular prisoners, they don't have a VIP wing for ex cops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse123 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 This is the problem with allowing immature, drunken police men to carry firearms when off duty, which most of them do, whether it is allowed by police regulations or not. In fact they don't even need to be off duty to be drunk as I used to see many times in Pattaya and still see to this day in Isaarn. They believe the laws they are there to enforce do not apply to them themselves. They then cobble the princely sum of 30,000 baht in total to give to the wife whose poor husband is now a cripple because of the antics of a drunken police clown. Shameful on the side of the police and heart breaking for the family. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkpjed Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 They should execute this piece of <deleted>. At the very least this poor excuse for a cop (and human being) should never see the light of day again. Idiots who exhibit this type of behavior should be culled from society one way or another.

The police Cpl will be out partying it up and getting as drunk as ever in no time flat. The noodle vendor? That man and his family will never find justice. Not in this country. Someone should help them make a GoFundMe page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky Rice Balls Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 The cop should have to take care of the paralyzed guy for the rest of his days..wash--bathe---transport--etc or financially support his needs As per thai logic,,,he wouldnt be paralyzed if you hadnt shot him... As a thai cop once told me--he wouldnt have hit u on your mbike if you werent there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
