Meh, bit of a nothing-burger sound bite, me thinks.
Amongst all the others.

At what point do his numerous "nothing-burgers" add up to a substantive "should-we-be-worried - burger"?

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

The beauty of a rhetorical question is, I guess, that you already know the answer - hence it seems rather fatuous. But just as a reminder, prior to 7 October there was no humanitarian crisis, including famine, in Gaza. Neither were humanitarian workers, trying to relieve that famine, being slaughter...

Re: Israel under attack from hamas, war declared.

The IDF, and the corrupt PM, have apologised for their mistake in killing the WCK7. What about these? At least 196 humanitarian workers have been killed in Gaza since October, according to the United Nations, which is calling on the Israeli government to allow aid agencies to "do their job". It come...

No - is it necessary to see a video before jumping to a conclusion?

People form conclusions every day, about what may, or may not, have happened.

Re: Foreigners behaving badly

Are you serious? If I came across some idiots of any breed wrestling a gun from a cop or anyone for that matter, I wouldn't be standing around trying to capture anything on my phone, let alone the whole event. But that's probably just me. Well there you go. You probably wouldn't video grizzly scene...

Re: What's up with the Macaques?

When I first arrived in LOS in the early part of the century, driving through the middle of Kumphawapi on the way south, the main street around the Monkey Park was thick with ling - running along the footpaths, climbing along the power lines, and congregating in the concrete "park". You generally ha...

Re: RTP - Body Cameras

You seem to have a limited understanding of the reasons for police body cams - it's not just for violent interactions. I know why they started using it, so my knowledge is not that limited. And when did I state that it was just for violent interactions? Started using it (cams) where, and why? They ...

Great minds think alike, maaka. :D Of course, in this case, we do have some video of the event being plastered over the internet. What we don't have is (what might be a completely plausible confirmation) whether, or why, that video has started late in the conflict, and/or ended early. If I, or perha...

Indeed - and my question is, if there is more (which I am assuming there is), why has the Thai citizen not posted it? :-k

That is the point I have been making in several earlier posts.

Re: RTP - Body Cameras

I doubt very seriously that the locals care one way or the other and I doubt the government cares what any visitor thinks they should do or not do. Western countries have them for the obvious reason. In the U.S. racial profiling is/was the norm. Why are reasons that are obvious in numerous Western ...

Re: Foreigners behaving badly

Is it a requirement for law enforcement to make public all evidence before a trial even begins? You seem to want answers and evidence that you’re not even entitled to. In Thailand - not as far as I am aware. It's certainly not the case in Australia, nor in the UK as I understand it. Of course, some...

Sorry JS but it is well past the BPB stage.
I'm not so sure, pipo.

As I pointed out above, it has all gone very quiet, including the scheduled court case.

That may be a sign that "negotiations" are afoot. :D
