@BangkokPostNews They've said that they're focusing on "higher value tourists" for 7-8 out of the 10 years I've been in Thailand. How many rich people do they think exist in the world?

@jacobincambodia I taught with this guy at a bi-lingual school several years ago. He seemed normal and we never noticed anything nefarious about him. His Thai wife was really nice. I feel sorry for her and their child.

A registered Australian pedophile sailed alone for five months across the Pacific to see his Thai girlfriend in Khon Kaen. He was supposed to be reporting to police in Australia for life. Thai officers arrested Richard Carl Skrinjar, 57, at her house this week. dailynews.co.th/news/5821301/

Convicted Australian Pedophile Sailed a Boat 5 Months Across the Pacific to See His Thai Girlfriend
Richard Carl Skrinjar, 57, was arrested on April 28 at a house in Ban Ped, Khon Kaen. He told police he'd left Australia by sea, alone, and spent about five months getting to Thailand. He docked the boat at a pier in Prachuap Khiri Khan and paid 10,000 baht a month to keep it there. His girlfriend had moved back to Thailand around two years ago. He missed her.
Skrinjar was convicted in multiple Australian child sex cases between 2007 and 2021, against children under 14, including producing child sexual abuse material. He's a lifelong-reporting sex offender, meaning he was supposed to check in with Australian authorities for the rest of his life. When he disappeared, Queensland Police issued a warrant for breaching his probation, his passport was canceled, and on April 9 INTERPOL put him on a Green Notice flagging him as a likely re-offender who'd travel to commit further offenses, particularly in Southeast Asia.
The Australian Federal Police office in Bangkok asked Thailand's Crime Suppression Division to track him down. CSD Sub-division 3 and Immigration Police Region 4 traced him to the Khon Kaen house and got a search warrant. When officers came through the door, Skrinjar tried to smash a laptop. They stopped him and seized four electronic devices. He's being held under the Immigration Act.

@R04ch Same in our building. Even though it's a 40-story building most people are familiar to residents, staff, and security guards. Air BnB guests are easy to spot.

@thehoffather Good grief. These people have no idea to run anything, and the don't even seem to know what the root causes of "homelessness" are. Everything is performative for them.

FBI data shows Seattle has one of the highest crime rates in US - higher than NYC, Chicago, & LA
Yet, Mayor Wilson has revealed no plan for how she will make city safer.
SPD still severely understaffed, yet mayor talks of cutting its budget.

@TurnSeattleRed I'm not sure a Republican administration would do much better because all they want to do is cut taxes for services. So how do you do cleanup with even less money allocated?

@TheBangkokIam Ha ha. I don't think so, but we all probably would have been better off if he just stayed in Vietnam.
