Bday Prang

Firstly lets just clarify something. There were not 70 million Thais,, of any age out last night at all. and those that were, were not all carrying knives. However, If you took some time to watch the Thai news you would see that violent crime by out of control teenage street gangs is actually not uncommon . Whilst it is predominately Thai on Thai ,that is only due to where is it is happening, not all Thai youths live in tourist areas. I'm not sure where @Bangkok Barry comes from but I can assure you in my country the UK knife crime is indeed a problem, and the fact that it is predominately black on black problem, the reporting by a predominately lefty media , is definitely skewed to say the least, and even more disturbingly, measures put in place by the police to combat this problem are predictably dismissed by the lefties as racist, further compounding the issue The simple fact of the matter, that appears to evade you, is that ANY group of Thai teenagers out on the streets armed with machetes at 3 o'clock in the morning are upto no good and should be automatically assumed by anybody who sees them, police or otherwise, to be up to no good. That also goes for lefty liberals who mistakenly consider themselves "down" with the kids Lefty liberal sentiments are starting to get a foothold here nowadays mainly due to the rubbish spouted in the hallowed halls of academia, as you stated in your first sentence Thai youths maybe ignorant regarding what that concept actually means , but they are more than well aware what they can get away with If you genuinely believe all that TAT rubbish about "the land of smiles" I suggest taking a walk on the streets at 3am in certain areas out side of the tourist ghettos Samut Prakan, Nonthaburi, or Aranyaprathet for example, you wouldn't last 5 minutes Just because an article may be uploaded here for its clickbait potential, does not mean there is no cause for concern

Sorry , Lou correction needed The onslaught of the self professed AN intellectuals has begun

I think the word "Skool" was superfluous

I have pity on you, in fact I consider most Australians worthy of pity or as we real English speakers say "pitiful"

If they have mastered several languages they would not be easily confused by grammar would they

I much prefer to know the identity of all emoji posters, as it enables me, if I so wish to make a targeted response, either positive or negative.. Ie if somebody is confused I may attempt to explain things to them a little better. If an anonymous person is expressing themselves its hardly worth worrying about

The behaviour you refer to is , in my opinion just plain childish , Emojis and or comments should reflect only the content of the specific post they are directed at and not the person who wrote it. I can go at it hammer and tongs with anybody regarding the debate of a specific subject. but can also find myself in total agreement with the same person regarding other matters and always comment in line with this. Although I never bear grudges there are a few on here, less than half a dozen, with whom I find it impossible to find any common ground whatsoever. I imagine most members share a similar experience and probably in regard to the same half dozen posters

not sure about that but there is a definite and increasing lefty ideology starting to appear, mainly amongst the ranks of the university educated enlightened types, If the rest have not noticed the dire situation prevalent in western countries it does not bode well for the future here. These universities have an awful lot to answer for, and its sad to see it starting here

As long as they are subject to full military type discipline and are never , under any circumstances, allowed to ever come into contact with firearms

Doesn't matter they can still be dealt with, in the same way a young bull can be "treated" to ensure it won't grow horns before the horns appear, Or simply remove their empty scrotums, removing the future potential for aggression and the ability to further their flawed genetic lineage, that's got to be a win=win situation

Be honest its anytime after 11 am which it always is , somewhere in the world

Well spotted laa, nice one !

Is it not a rather worrying concept , that merely the absence of some parental discipline means that this is the sort of behaviour a disproportionate number of kids these days revert to as a sort of "default setting" Are they all just inherently evil until taught otherwise ? Could be time for a cull

Regardless of what it said in the OP it just doesn't happen. Don't believe all you read in the papers, Furthermore, "Investigative police" do not undertake routine patrols

Completely agree, grandparents are generally out of touch with the activities of kids and often pretty much incapable of administering any sort of effective discipline, It is clear that kids can understand , and should be taught, the difference between right and wrong at relatively young age pre school even , but, a bit like a vaccine, a booster or three is required around the time of adolescence. If they are out of control to the extent that many of them are by the age of 14 , what will they be like at 21 ? the future is rather worrying for those of us approaching old age.

What "nearby police patrol" that does not exist here , even as a concept

Considering the number of police, and the nature of extended families here the is a very good chance that at least one of them will be related to a police officer somewhere along the line. and that is all it takes

These sort believe all foreigners to be rich and somewhat beneath them and as such all are legitimate targets

You are a "progressive liberal" ? If so you should take this opportunity to apologise , as its the lily livered liberal policies that are pretty much responsible for this sort of behaviour

Somehow I doubt it will remain this way, recent events in Sa Kaew and elsewhere have received extensive media coverage highlighting a common issue with out of control feral teenage gangs, many of their own "promotional" "tik tok" video clips have been broadcast on national TV. Effectively giving them the fame and notoriety they seek and indeed feed off These gangs, all basically bullies, have no reservations in attacking elderly and other such vulnerable members of their own communities, and it is doubtful that foreigners would be afforded ot treated with any more "respect" A senior police officer in Sa kaew even said that it was wrong to call these groups "gangs" as they were merely groups of disorderly youths that was on TV a few days ago. With that attitude, and the usual "conflicts of interest" there is little hope of any effective police intervention, so until some sort of vigilante action , Ie somebody kicking the $hit out of a few of them (and getting away with it) is made public, I fear we will be hearing plenty more stories like this one especially in the short term

Its far worse than that, they learn that their actions are considered worthy of a twisted "respect" from their peers, and will garner them much coveted "likes" on various social media platforms, Not to mention the financial rewards from robbery. All pretty much symptomatic of society in general failing due to modern "progressive liberal attitudes"

As opposed to starting a thread to show how much smarter one is compared to rest of the knuckle draggers, The OP deserves all he has received on this one Although I do agree the use of the confused emoji is a bit pathetic and evidence of laziness

"opportunity for what? was he wearing expensive jewellery? was he flashing a fat wads of cash around?. Have you ever heard of a lone person flashing cash around or insulting a gang of thugs? "Just wanted to know what was the reason/s those youths have attacked the man, not blaming anyone..." Not even the scum involved it would appear ! No it would not be interesting or even relevant to know anything of the sort. But I will put you out of your misery anyway. He was alone, a foreigner, and being a kuwaiti , is probably not built like a brick $hithouse so he was (mistakenly in this case) identified as a potential victim by this gang of feral scrotes. You subsequent posts appear to be attempts at mitigating the actions of these scum, you should be ashamed of yourself. It is this liberal progressive attitude that is the main reason reports of this nature are all too common, coupled with a complete lack of effective punishment.

There is no words for he or she in the thai language so the incorrect use of the pronoun "she" is purely the result of a sad woke "journalist" or translator. Who ever is responsible for it, I doubt they were concerned at offending the thief , so it can only be a nauseating attempt at virtue signalling. This almost unnoticed practice of sneaking this pronoun rubbish in at every opportunity. needs to be called out for what it is...bu££$hit

What's all this "transgender" cr@p, It was a man dressed as a woman He is nothing more than a female impersonator a transvestite at best This politically correct woke rubbish makes me want to puke
