Aviation Official Detained for Road Rage Incident with Pistol
Re: Aviation Official Detained for Road Rage Incident with Pistol
Part of me thinks this is a good thing.
The big man is not going to put up with some arrogant little shithead, clearly promoted well beyond his intelligence, to threaten kids with a handgun and get away with it. And he doesn't want to see them waltzing out of court when every other poor schmuck gets locked up for months in pre-conviction punishment.
Obviously, the judge didn't get the memo about this new policy and had to swiftly U-turn and send him to prison. All very humbling for her and the court. This has sent a clear message to the judiciary that he is keeping a close eye on what they are doing, or not doing, as in this case.

Unfortunately, his own governance and the regime on the whole seem to have fostered this very situation. It’s going to take some considerable chunk of his attention sorting out the embedded corruption. Or he’ll need reliable people in posts with sufficient authority, and complementary thinking, to be able to deal with this type of abuse of position. Abuses which on the whole appear to be the attitude of many- that with the position and power come the benefits of being able to conduct themselves as they wish.
Only a top down reform is going to sort it out. But if they do that, they’ll need their own Tuol Sleng style accommodation, to house the growing number of pretty-uniformed guests that are going to fill it.
