And will be summons and due to his failure to appear will be found guilty of all charges. You couldnt make this crap up however, in ga ga land, its only to be expected.

Merylhighground Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thailand yet again makes itself look more ridiculous by the split second in the international eye. Can a day go by without these cowardly imbeciles abusing their power and influence one asks? No is probably the sad but correct answer. Nice of them to charge the corpse and let their pal roam free to shoot a few more if needed..... Thailand really has a police farce to be proud of.... If the PM wants his country to be taken even slightly seriously on a global scale he needs to iron out this type of utter nonsense with an iron fist. No 'inactive posts' but jail time for bent coppers, flat out dismissal for idiocy of this nature. When even Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia are starting to look way superior to Thailand in so many respects in even an ASEAN context, action against buffoonery and corruption is needed quickly. Was a great country once....shame....now it's the embarrassment of the developing world through self inflicted idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to add that once he is found guilty the immigration officer will have his case closed due to self defense from the attempted murder by the dead Rohingya.

Reigntax Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Arent we lucky the PM's first goal was police reform. The benefit of his actions can clearly be seen in this farce. The really sad thing is that such an action probably makes sense to many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinneil Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Two sides to every story, pity we will never hear the other side. Thai justice/ logic at its best charging a dead man with attempted murder. Making a case for the defence already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 However, police will also charge the deceased Rohingya, named by police 18-year-old “Mohammadkhawnee”, with attempted murder. Maybe add on a charge of Theft? Stealing lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're being sarcastic as I didn't see that written in the article. Anyway, what are they going to do, kill the deceased twice?

tuanku Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I don't think the headline really captures the irony of the situation. It would be better phrased; Dead unarmed refugee to face murder charge after being shot by police That would grab the attention of readers worldwide and exemplify the logic used by the Thai police farce.

When it was 75B to the Pound, various tinpot regimes hadn't continually raised taxes on the good things in life like booze and tabs to line their pockets during their shaky tenures, when a full night out in Lower Suk (crumpet and included) could have been had for 5000B, you could buy booze at a convenience store 24/7 and there were always bars open all night....
