Hi again all: I echo my comments on an earlier thread below: I just don't trust this man's story (not YET, anyway...). I agree with the rest of us cynics: things are not adding up... and he looks ill to me.
If he has a transferable disease, I agree with the poster who stated its better to be an ill inmate in USA than in Thailand (most other countries). Death penalties are automatic in Thailand for things like drugs, murder and sometimes even with child-sex/
/abuse/slavery (selling kids for sex).
He probably couldn't afford a flight home and knows FULL WELL he stands a far better chance of 'getting off' in USA than perhaps anywhere else. That's shocking, because, IMO, child murderers, molesters, abusers terrorise our kids worlds. They should be treated as terrorists in the adult world, too - locked up and banned from society. I agree some people are ill - but those of us who know better have perhaps helped these perverts with an insanity plea (becuase we're sane, moral and well-bred enough to know the difference). Basically, these beasts CHOOSE and then prey on children.
The area he was recently living in is notorious for sleeze-ball activities: so ... why would a decent, single, foreign male squat in these shady city areas? Maybe because they KNOW their 'fixes' are 'on tap' and they're well camoflaged by the thousands that fill those streets, sidewalks and cafes. We've been to Thailand twice... and we definitely avoid those districts.
Thailand would NOT deport him if he had not done SOMETHING to be termed, as we know 'an undesirable'. By Karr confessing to JBR's murder, maybe the international spotlight of what ELSE may have gone on in Blooms Apartments and surrounds is removed. Who knows?
