It’s been the usual week of mayhem and pillage in fun city. A man shot dead while fishing at a lake. A bomb at a construction site which critically injured a worker. Suicides, drug busts, a body washed ashore, and a law office attacked by gunfire (I can sort of understand that).
So, plenty to keep the local cops busy, as well as the usual activities of extorting cash from motorists and sleeping next to their bikes. Luckily they had the help from Police Colonel Gitipong, who holds the title of “deputy chief of special investigations for police region 2”. He mounted a massive operation yesterday and raided a snooker hall. Was his elite team of storm troopers there to arrest one or more of the many murderers, thieves, rapists, lawyers or drug runners at large in this town? Nope, they swooped upon a slot machine which, horrors of horrors, was rigged to pay out real money. This is illegal and is a crime that should be punishable by death.
I think we can all sleep easier tonight knowing that the two evil men using the machine and the owner of the snooker hall were taken to the police station and given a stern talking to.
Tomorrow the special investigations unit will be doing some more swooping, my guess is the target will be double parking.
