The head guy must have made friends with the wrong people in high places. You'd think with that busy of a gambling ring, he would have put some money toward the police to keep himself out of trouble.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

Flock of journalists nabbed over illegal cock fight

Thirteen journalists were among 27 people arrested for attending a cock fight in Phnom Penh on Sunday, with police saying that they did not believe the group was only there to gather information for news stories on the illegal activity.
Municipal police raided an empty plot of land on Duong Ngiep Road in Meanchey district’s Stung Meanchey district at about 3:30 p.m., according to a post on the National Police website. They detained 27 suspects and seized five roosters — two of which had died — as well as cock-fighting equipment, the report said.
The arrested journalists worked for ten low-profile news sites, including “Preah Chan Kampuchea”, “Khmer Popular News”, “RAKY News” and “SNT News”.
Meanchey district police chief Meng Vimeandara declined to comment on the arrests. However, deputy municipal police chief Kim Kalyan said the group were caught red-handed in an illegal activity — but that they would be released due to what he described as the government’s general good will toward journalists.
“According to the principles from the higher-level that is forgiving toward these journalists, they will be allowed to go home on Tuesday evening after they have been educated,” Kalyan said, declining to comment further on the principles.

What happened to the other 23 detained in the original story. No cars or mottos seized?
Wouldn't be because they had connections of course. They must have been just resting in some shade.
