A national drama!
As the world goes shutters once more in an attempt to slow the spread of Covid-19, moods are mixed sad and happy. Sad because no more drinking in bars, dining in restaurants, shopping in shoe stores. Happy because the wonderful genre of lock-lit gets a revival.
You certainly recall the previous run of brilliant stories detailing police dragging surfers off South African beaches, Victorian surfers weeping and gnashing their teeth unable to leave their state to go and tube the Superbank, Californian surfers catching heavy tickets for enjoying Asian-fusion cuisine near the sand.
Extremely exciting and today we have the tale of Mr Sanya, who was said to be carrying a 9mm Glock when he and four other officers arrived at the beach, near Kamala, and seized Jirachaya Sitthichoke surfing equipment.
The Phuket News report has the entire country of Thailand up in “arms” with this intoxicating admixture of he said/she said, correct police procedure and Austrian vs. German manufacturing superiority.
Apparently, Ms Jirachaya, who conducted the surfing class on the beach, was taken aback when Mr Sanya rocked up to seize her equipment with his Glock and filed an official complaint that he was in a public place with a un-permitted firearm.
Kamala Chief Police Col Chaiyapreuk Phadiwarakorn confirmed that the formal complaint was filed, saying, “(Mr Sanya) said he had permission to carry the handgun as had previously served as Kathu District Chief. We are not sure yet whether this is correct. We are still looking into the matter.”
Mr Saya said the raid was being carried out because no commercial activities are allowed on that stretch of beach. “I have asked them to move and warned them twice before, but they just ignored me. So yesterday we arrived at the beach and asked them to move again, and asked them to pay a fine of B200 as a warning. They still just ignored me, so we seized their equipment…” adding, “I have the authority to carry my gun as I previously worked with the Kathu District Office. The Kamala OrBorTor chief has also agreed for me to carry my gun while on duty. This is normal. There is no need to be worried, there is no need for any tourists to worry.”
BeachGrit will continue paying close attention to developments here but, in the meantime, do you feel Austria’s Glock or Germany’s SIG Sauer is a better weapon?
Much to ponder.
you still manage to wring a few more drops out of it. just remember a good story, like a gut, gets a bit bigger with every year and every beer.
I was at a beachbreak in southern Thailand last week and was amazed to see how many Thai people (cityslickers by the looks of their pale skin and fancy getups) were down there learning to surf. Talk about commercial activities, the local surf school was killing it. There must have been a couple of hundred Sunova boards in the sheds out back. Groups of learners were popping up on the sand and applying sunscreen all over the place. I got a very strong feeling of being in the middle of a surfing craze.

I’d say it’s a moot point if you’re on the receiving end!
Missing shoe shopping Chas – are those fancy loafers of yours getting a little ragged!
Not sure. My Red Rider BB Gun outshines them all though.
Ahh, and the SIG Sauer v. Glock debate continues to show little sign of slowing. What both sides can agree upon is that either handgun is the best option to bring to a knife fight.
A fake glock is even better
Stunt Glock
I prefer the Glock, it’s just got a better balance
The correct answer is Colt 1911.
Damn fucking straight!
the beach town of kamala must have to slept with bigger beach towns in order to receive surf school accreditation?
So weak, your wife slept with you and all she got was a shitty commentor.
i’m sorry my comment triggered you and now you have a case of hurt-self.
Boy with waves like this (pic from article on Phuket News) I’m sure the wavestormerz are relieved they don’t have to charge these thumping barrels.

Looks like that round my way today!
Oh I am. That was someone else with the Asian-fusion.
speaking of, did you celebrate the 50th anniversary of the exploding whale carcass last week?
If all the worlds surf school owners were marched off the beaches at gunpoint we would all benefit…
If only by Mid west cops while the owners faces were painted black….
There’s a difference between ‘gun point’ and ‘gun pierced’.
You mean to tell me, that in other places around the world, that cops don’t point their weapons for minor offenses? I thought that was normal procedure.
Only if you’re Black non-gender specific communist.
Otto, this story is right up your alley.
LOL, he’s still working on the election fraud and the Republican defense about how they enabled the Orange Clown.
In 2016, Joe Biden formed the Joe Biden Cancer Initiative, a non-profit to aid cancer research. Like most leftists, that which is promised is never fulfilled. Using the death of his son Beau, Joe embarked upon an epic grifting effort, bringing in an estimated $5Million in donations. According to publicly available IRS tax records, nearly $3Million went to salaries and administrative costs. The rest went to travel and conventions. Exactly $0.00 was granted for cancer research. Not one single penny. Some initiative you got there Joe.
leeches.
Always projection with you guys isn’t it?
Didn’t Trump get caught stealing money from a Military Non-profit?
Always inflammatory skewing of facts with you guys isn’t it?
What fact did I skew?
You figure it out clown. It’s right there in your disinformation campaign.
I believe I asked a question. Are questions facts?
I guess I will answer my own question. Yes, Trump was caught misusing military charity funds.
https://www.npr.org/2019/11…
No, he was caught using Foundation funds to further his campaign. It had to do with a Foundation fundraiser that ended up coming under his Campaign control, who then dispersed the funds for political gain, taking credit through his campaign. He never had control over any military charity. The settlement was a fine. A fine that went to “Army Emergency Relief, the Children’s Aid Society, Citymeals-on-Wheels, Give an Hour, Martha’s Table, United Negro College Fund, United Way of National Capital Area, and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.” Besides the AEF, do those sound like military charities, or just a way for AG Leticia to stick it to a Republican by forcing donations to her pet charities?
So you admit he misused funds but you’re okay with that because it was to better his campaign? Am I understanding this correctly?
Your original statement was that he stole from a military charity. You were wrong. The issue had to do with how the fundraiser was billed (Foundation), but who controlled the money disbursement. The intended recipients received their monies but on paper it looked like the campaign gave it when donations were to be received by his Foundation. The settlement was a fine and did not represent monies he “stole” from a military charity.
Again, I never made a statement. I asked you a question which you refused to answer.
It doesn’t really matter how the scam was done. At the end of the day they were found guilty of misappropriating funds. I find it very interesting how you are able to come up with so many excuses for Trump and Co. but none of this effort can be asked of you to look up the misinformation you read on your right-wings sites.
Didn’t trump buy some art or something with non profit cash? But yeah the American people need to rattle the cage if you will. Very few on either side are worth their weight. Divide and conquer!
Some brain you got there Otto.
“The Biden Cancer Initiative never intended to make research grants because we had a $2.5 million budget which was dedicated to creating collaborations among companies, universities, nonprofits, patient groups, researchers, and the government,” said Greg Simon, former president of the charity. The mission “was to work with patients from the bottom up to make things change,” Simon said, adding that the organization created collaborations that helped cancer patients with things like accessing care, financial support, and community support. According to its website, the 501(c)3 charity brought together dozens of groups and organizations to leverage resources connecting patients to clinical trials, cancer prevention and early detection, and data sharing, for example.
As The Associated Press reported in 2019, the charity “promoted nearly 60 partnerships with drug companies, health care firms, charities and other organizations that pledged more than $400 million to improve cancer treatment”
https://www.snopes.com/fact…
It’s IRS filing says “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,”.
Simon is a former lobbyist for Pfizer. The charity was filed as an entity from which grants were to be given.
You’re just being a spineless Biden apologist.
I can’t help you with your reading comprehension issues, sorry.
Don’t believe everything you read. I can’t help you with your gullible tendency issues. Simon was a Obama/Biden administration political operative. Biden left BCI in April 2019, and Simon suspended operations in June when donations dried up. It’s grifting, plain and simple. You keep buying into Biden’s lies Cunty kuntard.
“Simon received $224,539 in 2017 and $429,850 in 2018. Charity Navigator reports that mid-sized nonprofits such as BCI pay their chief executives an average annual salary of $126,000.”
You think he or Bexy will get a Trump tattoo first? Assuming they ha ent already.
Hey Mr jetset
You know, my trip to Thailand really opened my eyes to the plight of the trannies, oh now I really must vote for a drippy lefty, tra la la.
I’m a good person, why are people not good and lovely like me?
