So Sivarak was pardoned by the King and everyone is happy now that justice has been served. Why shouldn't such an expedient system be here in Thailand, some might wonder. After all, monarchs all over the world grant pardons, right? That is what the red-shirts will no doubt be thinking.
Never mind that Sivarak's mom is a friend of Takki's circle (or at least tries to be); never mind that she said he might die of a respiratory (or was it colonary?) disorder yet did not even bother to apply for bail; never mind that he also fired the MFA appointed solicitor just before the trial.
I would have liked to say that everyone who believes one way or the other still does so, but I am quite surprised to see how well this red game has gone down with the neutrals - a surprisingly large number of people seem to believe that what happened was real and not just a cheap chapter out of the latest Shinegra soap opera.
One wonders how people will reflect on this a year hence.
