Looks like a nice money earner.

How stupid are these people? What would have been a modest parking fine has now escalated to a criminal charge.

The picture shows as it is motorcycle parking lots? Unless the author uses some unrelated picture to the story......which normally happens in Thaiger news articles.

I used to live in Phuket, I had a good life there but had to leave after a while because I couldn't stand to see the immigrant delinquents who made Patong their own suburb away from France. Usually (though not always, hence my question in the previous post), troublesome "French nationals" are delinquent Africans who were given French IDs for political reasons (I know that population very well as I grew up with them).

Yes, I know that's what you meant, and obviously, you know that I will disagree. But it is not even about agreeing or not, they were born in France, they are French, end of (most likely according to their age most have also parents born in France). To me, unlike you it seems, the problem is the French "racaille" doing here what they do in France, wether they are called Maurice or Mohamed makes no difference. You asked the question cause he would make a difference to you if they were called Maurice? Would they be then to you decent "French racailles"? (I know "that population" very well too as I grew up in the suburb of Lyon - actually I grew up IN that population, a working class population, not with).

Here for you some "good" French criminals in Thailand recently:

I am wary of "either/or" dichotomies. Asking whether they are of immigrant origin does not mean those who are not of immigrant origin never cause problems. And providing examples of criminal native French people does not invalidate the stance that lots of immigrant French cause problems.

I spent the first 20+ years of my life in a social housing estate (HLM) in Grenoble. So yes, I know that population very well, I still say hello to some of them when I go back. Some of them managed to make it in life, lots of them didn't and are confined to the miserable life that was decided for them. But unlike Zemmour and the identitarians, I don't blame Islam for that, the "racailles" are a political creation, and that is an entirely different topic.
