[blackreplica]

Anyone here have the full news report? I can't find it anywhere, just little one liners here and there on the web which confirmed it happened but no detailed info

 

[lhlisanidiot]

He must have gone against or offended the Lee family.

If he is a good pappy dog, even a grave mistake will be covered up and swept under the carpet.

This is the reality of being a pappy dog!

 

[Narong Wongwan]

He must have done something that offended the Lee family.

If he is a good pappy dog, even a grave mistake will be swept under the carpet.

This is the reality of being a pappy dog!
