Summary

Thai police arrested US academic Paul Chambers on charges of insulting the monarchy and violating computer crime laws, linked to remarks made during an online seminar.

Chambers, a political science professor at Naresuan University, was summoned after a complaint by the Thai Army.

He denied the charges and was denied bail, with no trial date set. Thailand enforces strict lèse-majesté laws under Article 112, carrying up to 15 years in prison.

    I actually love this picture. Kings don’t need to stick to whatever us plebs think of fashion. What’s the context of this picture?

        Concerned? In Thailand?

        That’s like clutching your pearls over someone with pants half down in Las Vegas or Amsterdam.

          Yes concerned and you should be concerned about sexual assault in Vegas as well, wtf are you even trying to say.

            What the fuck are you trying to say?

            Because clearly we are thinking about two different things.

                Aaah, I see it now.

                You’re implying that he raped somebody. You know, like Trump.

                No, no. I implied that he had consensual sex with somebody. And I somehow thought that you thought that was scandalous.

                But I see what you mean.

                Have a good night, sir.

                  I’m glad I painted the picture well enough.

                  Technically I implied sexual assault and also yeah like Trump, duh.
