dave32 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Conor David Purcell and His 15 Minutes of Fame, Thailand. Link What a douche. My favorite line was from the source at the Australian embassy: "You need to take what he says with a big dose of salt. He's a big noter who gilds the lily big time." I like that. As a matter of fact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave32 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 This actually gets worse. From the Sydney Morning Herald (today): --------- BANGKOK: An Australian arrested over the Red Shirt protest, Conor Purcell, has refused to accept the authority of the Thai legal system, berating a judge in a Bangkok court. Dressed in orange prison-issue shirt and shorts, barefoot and shackled in leg-irons, a furious Mr Purcell was led in to Pathumwan Municipal Court in Bangkok yesterday, protesting that he was being unlawfully held. Visibly angry at his detention, Mr Purcell, 29, a former soldier, refused to stand when told and then yelled at the judge that he would not accept the court's right to try him. ''Nobody in this country has authority over me,'' he said. He brushed aside a representative from the Australian embassy who was asking him to be quiet and continued his tirade, shaking and pointing at the judge. ''I'm not under Thai law. I'm only obeying international law. I'm head of the red gang,'' he yelled. Jeff Savage, a British man also arrested for his role in the protest, sitting next to Mr Purcell in court, burst into tears. Mr Purcell's detention was continued by the judge until June 4, but as police continue to gather evidence, he has not yet been charged. He is expected to be charged with violating emergency decree laws imposed during the two-month Red Shirt protest. The maximum penalty is a two-year prison sentence. But authorities said yesterday further investigations into his involvement with the Red Shirts were being conducted with a view to more serious charges. The Prime Minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, mentioned Mr Purcell and Mr Savage specifically this week as being suspected of having broader roles in the Red Shirt movement. He said they were arrested for violating the state of emergency declared across Bangkok, ''and for their role on stage during the rally''. The Red Shirt movement alleges the government is a puppet for Bangkok's military and wealthy elite figures." Link -------- He gets the nod for nutter quote of the year with this one (in the courtroom no less): "I'm head of the Red Gang" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
