Pattaya's Motorcycle Highway Men
Most of Pattaya's resident expats are already aware of Pattaya's latest crime trend, "the Pattaya motorcycle highway men". The expat residents of Pattaya are now used to seeing stories on the Pattaya T.V. news channels and the Pattaya local news papers, The Pattaya Mail, The Pattaya People etc, about Pattaya residents, both expat and Thai nationals being the victims of Pattaya's motorcycle highway men. It is also sad to say that most of the residents of Pattaya know someone personally who has been a victim of the Pattaya motorcycle highway men.
Unfortunately, Pattaya's tourist population, especially the first time visitors to Pattaya are not made aware of Pattaya's latest crime trend until they have fallen victim to Pattaya's motorcycle highway men. Most visitors to Pattaya believe that Pattaya is a safe destination, after all this a busy, bustling tourist city with lots of people around, and if you are aware of the dangers, Pattaya is safe. The trouble is that Pattaya has it's fair share of opportunists, and Pattaya's motorcycle highway men are a prime example. The opportunity knocks for the Pattaya motorcycle highway men when they see easy pickings such as loosely worn items like handbags and gold chains on people made more vulnerable by the fact that much of the time they have to walk in the road because the pavements are being hogged by vendors, are in a poor state of repair or simply do not exist. This means that Pattaya's motorcycle highway men are able to pass close enough to their victims to make a snatch.
To keep yourself safe while walking around Pattaya, don't give Pattaya's motorcycle highway men an opportunity, don't wear your gold, or if you must wear it keep it covered. If you carry a handbag make sure you keep no valuables inside it and don't wear it round your neck for obvious reasons. use the pavement whenever you can, if you have to walk in the road, walk against the flow of traffic so that you can see what is coming, you will be much more vulnerable to Pattaya's motorcycle highway men if they are allowed to approach you from behind.
Another thing you should remember is, if you are going to ride a motorcycle around Pattaya yourself, people have actually been mugged while riding a motorcycle. In some cases the rider has been kicked off the motorcycle and mugged, other recorded cases include gold being snatched from round the riders neck whilst driving slowly. So remember to take the necessary precautions in Pattaya and don't be a victim of Pattaya's motorcycle highway men.

QUESTION:
please read my story rate 1-10 dont have nothing nice to say dont comment it at all, you are not the best!!!!?
I am on my way to Seattle Washington. Although I well miss my friends and family, mother says it is for the best. Mom is driving, I just hope we make it home in one piece. Mom just got fired for being late at a conference, were loosing money by the hour. So were moving back in my home town near the local hospital I was born in, on November 3, 1995. That way mom is granted a full time job to support my sister Sophia and me.I have no doubts for my mom, after all she is a great single parent and she is for sure a terrific care taker. I don’t know why mom likes being in a white room with medical equipment and a patient eager for medical care. Mom prefers to be in a crowded room with doctors with masks on performing surgery. My sister Sophia is three. Mom really takes her under her wing 24 hours a day. She basically get what she wants, when she wants. She is very plump with the most brilliant amber eyes, and the simplest blond hair that you can find on a store bought Barbie doll. Mom use to joke around and say she almost named her Barbie for her hair.
A couple of years back just before my dear father passed on he left my mother a red mustang 2006. She loves that vehicle like she gave birth to it. We just passed a highway sign that reads “Montana 4 miles off enter section”. Mom rolls her eyes, “If it was not for my career we would be at home in a telephone book searching for a job Lauran”. I sign… “yea well you have to be a burse don’t you”. mom rolls her eyes, and rolls down the windows. When the fresh Montana air hit my face I almost collapsed. We strolled my a dumpster, that did not at all help the fragrant. The sky was a grayish chalk color to it, very dull and a unsafe warning to bad weather.
A couple birds flew here, and there the whole site seemed familiar, I felt like a free sprit went right through my chest. I grew a free mind and noticed a change in the atmosphere, maybe today was a start of something new, maybe my whole life would turn and twist and squeeze the dull days I once had. Maybe its time my life starts a new chapter. “Oh.. Its 6:43pm Lauren you hungry by any chance” my mother grins with a thoughtful worried look in her dark green eyes. Although my stomach twisted and bounced all around, I have not yet hunger pains. “Um.. No mom. But I think we should all rest and maybe Sophia is hungry to, besides there is a bad storm coming I can just feel it in my veins”. “Is Sophia asleep” mother calls. I turn in my set to view Sophia’s spot in the back third row. She is dead asleep, I really love my sister when she is asleep. “yep” I bellowed.
As I have deep thoughts running in and out of my head, I noticed a dark cloud appearing out of the right window toward the back of the car. Silence Brooke loose in the family car by a roaring sound coming from the angry sky. “Oh lord a bad storm I guess we should find shelter” my mom says. Out of no were a dangerous hail storm approaches from the north, my sister wakes up screaming and yelling saying “I want to go home mama”. we both show no sign of paying our attention to the whiner in the car. We were both worried that a bad hurricane might appear out of no where. The next exit was 2 miles away to the next exit accordingly to the sign. The car sped up, I sincerely rolled up the windows for my moms sake of worrying about something else than the road.
The sky grew darker, all birds and any sign of life brushed through the trees, the sun set early or was is the black clouds blocking its hot beaming rays? Mom pasted me my sisters bottle and I drove her fast to sleep, she is the reason my mom gets in car crashes in stressing moments much like this. It felt like a nightmare, I fell curious where the beautiful sun shone, and were the white clouds, and the birds chirped in the wind as we drove by. We were new to this state so we have no idea what weather conditions it must be today. But, are only clues are that nature is deserted and any signs of life has left, no cars, no singing birds, no sun, just a big black sky. We reached to a near by town and are looking for some hotels to stay the night in. as I look out my car door window, rain pours down heavily. It looks like today’s weather forecast was prescribed as “raining cats and dogs”.

Pretty lame. Weak plot and poor grammar to boot. Inconsistent verb tense. Poor visualization. A lot of he said/yelped/bellowed etc. Seems like something a middle/high schooler would write.

QUESTION:
Is the Ga law woking as intended Many immigrants leaving Georgia behind New law’s impact goes beyond targeting?
Is the Ga law woking as intended Many immigrants leaving Georgia behind New law’s impact goes beyond targeting illegally ? What do you think ?Fearful she will be deported and separated from her two young sons, Vilma Baltazar steeled her family for a long journey from her small apartment in Chamblee back to her native country, Guatemala. The single mother is one of many illegal immigrants in metro Atlanta who say they are fleeing Georgia before the state’s tough new immigration enforcement law takes effect on July 1. Others say they are making similar plans in case opponents of the new law are unable to block it in the courts.These developments show Georgia’s new law is having its desired impact, even weeks before it is scheduled to become law. But the law also is starting to produce a ripple effect.
Businesses that cater to the region’s Hispanic residents say the new law has sown fear among immigrants, scaring away their customers and employees. A grocery store chain that serves Hispanic immigrants says the new law has led to sharp cuts in sales at some of its locations, forcing it to consider closing one of its spots. And the pastors of local Hispanic churches say some of their parishioners are leaving Georgia and taking the donations that support charitable causes with them.
All of these people are connected in some way to a part of north DeKalb County that is home to the largest percentage of foreign-born residents in Georgia at 74 percent, according to census estimates. The area is bordered by Buford Highway, Peachtree Road, Clairmont Road and Dresden Drive and includes parts of Chamblee.Most of the people living in that census tract were born in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico and are not U.S. citizens, census records show. The Census Bureau does not track immigration status.
Signed into law last month, House Bill 87 authorizes police to investigate the immigration status of suspects under certain conditions and arrest illegal immigrants and take them to jail. It also punishes people who knowingly harbor or transport illegal immigrants while committing another crime or use fake identification to get a job in Georgia.
Supporters of the law say the exodus of illegal immigrants shows it is working, though they said the tough economy could also be a factor. The state needed to pass the law, they said, because the federal government has failed to secure the nation’s borders, allowing illegal immigrants to stream into Georgia.
A recent estimate by the Pew Hispanic Center puts the number of illegal immigrants in Georgia at 425,000, the seventh-highest among the states.
“Businesses and individuals — including migrant workers — have absolutely nothing to fear if they are in compliance with the law,” said Republican Rep. Rich Golick of Smyrna, who co-sponsored HB 87 and is one of its chief supporters.
At the same time, the pain some metro Atlanta businesses and churches are experiencing because of HB 87 now was expected, said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington-based group that advocates for tighter immigration controls.
“There will always be short-term pain when you rip the Band-Aid off,” he said. “There is no way to avoid that. If you have allowed the immigration law to go unenforced, when you finally get around to enforcing the law, there will be some short-term pain for people.”
With the departure of illegal immigrants from Georgia, there will be less of a burden on the state’s taxpayer-funded schools and hospitals, Krikorian said.

ANSWER:
If they are leaving,then it is working. But most will just go to another state and be a burden on the citizens there. Doubt many will return to their home countries,they get too many freebies here.
I have no sympathy for businesses that cater to them or the churches that see a drop in the collection plate.
