Thread: Two Tourists Brutally Murdered on Koh Tao, One Raped: Police Spark Thailand Manhunt

I think it amounts to the same thing Nidhogg. Here is our justice system, I dare you to criticise it.

In all honesty, I don't think we are on the same page here. I do not think there is a "I dare you", just bewilderment.

Ok. Analogy. So you get invited by a nice friendly couple one day for a nice evening dinner. You turn up, and there on the table is a lovingly prepared joint of human leg. Turns out they are cannibals. You are like "What the f*ck", and they are at a loss to understand why you are like "what the f*ck". They spent a long time preparing their delectable meal, with a nice accompanying jou, and side salad, and here you are recoiling in horror.....Complete cultural confusion.

Now, back to the trial. The Thais have gone to all this trouble, setting up a nice trial, with a real judge, and few police officers who are prepared to "pinky swear", and a couple of scapegoats of no import who will take the blame. Money all round, business as usual and a couple of sacrificed Burmese is a small price to pay to ensure the 500,000 people continue to go to Tao, and the 20+ million to Thailand in general.

They have worked *hard* to put all this dog and pony show on to 'appease" the foreigners, and they simply do not understand why people are like "what the f*ck?".
