The plot thickens.  :ph34r:

Quote



Mr. Strauss-Kahn behaved aggressively toward a young female journalist and novelist, Tristane Banon, in 2002, according to the newspaper Le Parisien and other Web sites, and corroborated by Ms. Banon herself in a 2007 television interview on Paris Première, a cable channel. At the time, she said that a French politician — whom she later said was Mr. Strauss-Kahn — had tried to rape her in an empty apartment in Paris after she had contacted him for a book she was writing.

"He wanted to grab my hand while answering my questions, and then my arm. We ended up fighting, since I said clearly, 'No, no.' We fought on the floor, I kicked him, he undid my bra, he tried to remove my jeans," she said.

Afterward, she said that she had contacted a well-known lawyer who already had "a pile of files on Mr. Strauss-Kahn," but that she never filed a complaint. "I didn't dare; I didn't wish to be the girl who had a problem with a politician for the rest of my life," she said.

Her mother, Anne Mansouret, a Socialist, later confronted Mr. Strauss-Kahn and asked why he had attacked her daughter, she told Rue 89, an online newspaper. According to her, he responded: "I don't know what happened, I went crazy."

A story about the DSK case in the NY Times from May 15th is considered to be old news if it is now May 18th.....but not as old yet as the case you're saying that the plot is thickening about; that case is from 2002, 9 years ago and really old news in Europe and France in particular.

The particular girl in question never pressed charges but not only that, she was/is a friend of DSK's daughter.

Speaking about a plot....

Of course that doesn't mean that DSK isn't guilty, but as I said before, in America a suspect is considered to be "innocent until proven guilty", the same as in most civilized countries UG; would that be the same in Thailand ?

I wouldn't know but maybe you do?

Monks at the temple reported last seeing Chom about midday several days earlier.

They said they saw the late monk lift the car cover and enter the vehicle, presumably to take a nap, as he was known to often do.



True or not, who knows, but that would answer your question.

And I doubt it's impossible.
One step at a time.
When the police arrived, they found the car covered.
When they uncovered the car, they found the dead monk inside.

How did the monk, from inside a car, cover the car?

I say that's pretty near impossible to do and if it can be done, I'd like to hear how.


.

Easy; lift the cover partly and open the back-door (also partly) and slip into the car after which the cover will fall down to it's original shape.
Can be done easily in a cover type like this:

Remember, the Monk was probably a small man.

Ron Paul's the man.

He will turn 76 in August; America and the rest of the world need young leaders, not old ones who are with pension.

We don't want to go back to the USSR periods where old men were leading the Soviet Union and creating the cold war.

Oh come on LaoPo - why are you so strenuously defending this guy ?  :huh:



Because he is obviously anti-American.  His posting history proves this out.



Says the member since 2 months, with 69 posts, who doesn't even know me



Maybe he went back and read your posting history - since he does mention it. Quite a few posters who have been hear forever say the same thing. :D

I feel flattered someone puts so much reading into my "Active Posts 14,798"; I wonder how much time it cost him :whistling:

Did he read you too?

Edit:

member Lovetotravel did NOT visit my Profile lately (since he became a member) but you did....yesterday. I'm flattered.:lol:

On the other hand, one never knows if there are returning banned members; some people know....;)

I see the French are acting as one might expect.  The comments by the readers are also as might be expected.



Of course they act as one might have expected; the question is WHO expected what?

You don't seem to know that Europeans along with many other countries around the world, and in this case the French in particular, are NOT used to handle suspects immediately as criminals, handcuff them and parading/perp walk* them by Police officers in front of cameras and journalistsn as a kind of trophee.

In fact, it is unlawful police behavior in France and NOT allowed; the same as in other European countries.

That this PERP WALK (since the Enron case) became normal behavior by the various Police departments in the USA doesn't necessarily mean that the Police- and jurisdictional system in the US is the perfect one which has to be understood and followed by all other cultures and nations. On the contrary!

Don't forget that the US has a much smaller population than Europe's 700 million.



What Does Perp Walk Mean?
A slang term describing the police action of parading an arrested suspect in handcuffs before the media.

Investopedia explains Perp Walk
Short  for "perpetrator walk," this is a practice with which many people  disagree, considering these re-staged arrests to be merely media  spectacles that violate the suspects' rights. Both former head of  Adelphia, 78-year-old John Rigas, and ex-WorldCom CFO Scott Sullivan  turned themselves in when they were being investigated. Despite their  requests, law enforcement still invited the media to watch the former  executives being handcuffed and hauled in.

I think, and many with me, it is a disgusting way of showing off a SUSPECT to the press and America unworthy.

Even in America a person is "innocent until proven guilty".
