webfact Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Dwarf man crushed to death by roadside bench By The Nation A dwarf man was found dead, crushed by a wooden bench at a deserted taxi motorcycle stand in Bangkok’s Bang Plad district early on Friday. Police said the 80-centimetre-tall man was found lying face-up with a wooden bench on his chest at an unused motorcycle taxi stand in front of P Chemical Equipment Co Ltd on Sirinthorn Road. The bench was about 50cm tall and about 200cm long. It weighed about 50kgs. The man had no ID card when found and police had not yet identified him. Police found Bt443 cash on him. Thanom Sukcharoen, 67, a security officer of Suzuki showroom nearby, said he spotted the man walking around at 3am. Thanom said he asked the dwarf man where he was going and the man replied that he was going to Bangkok. A few hours later, the dwarf man was found dead at the same spot.

This sounds like a classic fairy tale... headed to the big city to make his fortune, struck down by an evil bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe similar to how the wicked witch of the east was crushed by a house, just before the munchkins showed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Predictably the majority of the comment has no sympathy for the death of a person considered irrationally as inferior! The fact that he/she was dwarf makes an individual less worthy of respect?????? Probably the same mentality that led to the death ! But of course no speculation as to the very real possibility that that same mentality was the cause of the death ! Dwarf or not is there no question as to the how or why a seat bench crushes someone?? No. Instead a congregation of ugly fat barstards deride the death with stupid comment they assume is humour !

Those were very predictable comments. Those jokes would have been made in any era throughout history. Probably more funny now since the PC crowd has begun the war on humor and that type of joke is now risque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexlowe Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I agree with the PC crowd. Making fun of dwarfs shows a tiny mind. Or anybody else for that matter. Except Aussies. They're fair game because they pretty stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't announce the death of a person, so the stage was set for some rather unkind remarks. I wish I wouldn't have chuckled at some of them, but I did. RIP, little person.
