PattayaMale Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 As usual, what Mr Thaksin said Sunday was the same old stuff that he has kept repeating time and again like a broken record: that he and his family were unfairly treated; that he has not done anything wrong; that he was falsely accused of not being loyal to the monarchy; that he has been targeted for assassination attempts and blah-blah-blah. He vowed to keep the fight for the justice until his death...........BKK Post I thought of a couple people from our community that have been charged or are jailed. It seems ironic that the former Prime Minister doe not have the courage or confidence to face Thai justice...........but thinks it is fine for others even though they have the same claim of not doing anything wrong and felt the justice system was corrupt to be judged by the Thai system. Any thoughts Quote

KhorTose Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I am not exactly sure what you mean. I always get confused when words are put together in a way that makes no sense like Thai and justice.. Thai justice seems very simple to me. If you got money and the #1 power, or someone with more money, is not mad at you then you are innocent. Since Taskin has made the #1 power mad, he will not face Thai justice as he knows by it's rules that he is guilty. Sounds like a great system to me. Well unless you are poor, or less well off then your victimizer. As an American, I am so grateful to the British for the idea of the rule of law that I can almost forgive them for their harsh and cruel colonial policies. Quote

Guest Soi10Tom Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 My thoughts.... I'm a big picture guy; the details just serve to confuse what is happening. The big picture is that in Thailand you get all the justice that you can afford, with one huge exception. That exceptions being that the suspected criminal has threatened that continued strangle hold on power held by a certain civilian group in Bangkok and the military. Then it makes no difference how much money you have...you will be convicted of everything from jaywalking to treason. Quote
