Why are we reading about this assclown?

This man has a history of poor behavior, and deserves the official attention he is getting. But this is not a case that should be tried in social media. I rarely check my Facebook or Insta but I did today and my feeds are full of local's xenophobic vitriol for this man. It is not about what he did, but what they imagine he represents, and that ain't pretty

Except I don't drink, and haven't for a very long time. So what's your excuse? you seem to be having trouble putting words in order.

Have you had a recent stroke or similar condition? Your posts are even more glibly mindless than I recall.

While I wouldn't say "worthless" I would say that this is sending a message that foreigners are fair game should they cross a line arbitrarily drawn on social media.

All of you fools delighting in the fate of this man are too blind to see that this is how witch hunts begin. Its great he is being charged, but it is getting out of hand. under the mob mentality, this kind of thing snowballs. Before you know it there will be an increase in assaults against foreigners in Phuket as people become more thin-skinned and "stand up for themselves" against insults and grievances, real or perceived.

read through that exchange again, why don'tcha. or to borrow your own words, less the emoji" go back to the bigging of the thread, read a look at everything........🙄

no, why don't you tell us?

note to self: stop flipping the bird to morons in cars when I'm out on the bicycle.

I would suggest you put the beer bottlle down

FFS you halfwit there is a video of the events. I'm not sure how much more clarity you require.

news stories like this and rising anti-foreign sentiment are our new reality. There is a time when rare behavior like this was dismissed as an outlier. not so much anymore. it is all fuel to the fire.

let me say this for you again, because it is clear you struggle. We do know what happened. For reasons difficult to fathom, he walked up behind them while filming and kicked her. But none of that was the case in this instance. the video shows them sitting there quietly. Except they are completely dissimilar. this certainly has gone too far, but only in terms of the issues it distracts from. The dude deserves punishment for his behavior certainly.

I have a dual sim phone one is for calls and the number hasn't changed in years and years. The other sim is for data and i renew it once a year. no drama. That said i can't remember the last time i made a call that wasnt to a call centre. Everyone I know uses Messenger, WhatsApp or Telegram

why would anyone feel the need start a topic about how others choose to interact online?

for the love of god what is wrong with you?

What an interesting collection of asinine remarks. The story is being investigated, there is a video of the incident -- it happened as described. As for the rest, common sense would dictate thais and foreigners alike should do each other no harm, but no nation is perfect and <deleted> come in many shades. For example, you yourself are perfectly willing to make spurious assumptions even though all the information is right there in front of you.

nope. sometimes it will tell me what time I can expect cash but that is usually when I send to family on the US end

Hypocrisy, innit?

Say it real loud, maybe it will become true. it would seem you are drunk now.

What does it matter? We are desensitized to graphic content by our excessive media consumption, and everybody already knows that too much booze kills. It will just become a source of comedy, like the cigarette warnings that had men buying the pack that warned against potential harm to a fetus, saying I can't get pregnant so these can't harm me. Nobody gives a <deleted>, and it won't affect sales either way. Either you are inclined to drink or you are not. Stickers don't change minds, education does. Booze is already on the out, current generations drink far less than previous, if at all.

As usual Brian, you have struck deep to the heart of the issue, asking all of the burning questions and homing in with a laser focus on the very crux of the matter. Well done

i think the same thing when alcoholics come to unpleasant ends.

indeed, but still you keep typing.

there is no need for it to bite them in the ass and it could be a boon if it keeps baseline pricing and offers discounts for low activity periods. But we all know that ain't gonna happen.
