I was tempted to comment that the american was a nutcase, but in the video you see the Thai put his fist on the american's chest, looks like he is trying to teach the guy a lesson. difficult to say if this attack was provoked or not. Agreed, and that's the first thing I noticed. One has to ask why the airport police didn't interrogate the Thai hotel worker as to why he had his fist on the American's chest at the start of the CCTV footage. Obviously they saw a quick and financially beneficial ending should they skew their interrogation and extract money from the foreigner. Not saying the American didn't overreact, just questioning the obvious bias of the police in their techniques. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC 71 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 How come nobody knows how to spell "loser"? It's not rocket science. My trousers are looser now because I lost weight. A thug is a loser.

mlmcleod Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) After viewing the beginning of the video I can see the Thai placing his hand on the chest of the American. In certain parts of the USA that constitutes an assault. Personal space is paramount for Americans and any entry to that space without an invitation calls for severe consequences. I know of parts of America where honking your horn is enough to make a driver get out with his weapon and accost you. I personally think that was the case here. It is just that his response was way overboard. I suspect that he will be shaken down for all the money he has and released.

JonnyF Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Really need to see what happened before the clip. Pushing a fist into someone's chest isn't a good idea if they are stressed, especially if he was shouting something along the lines of "HEY YOU YOU YOU" as these touts tend to do. I suspect the Thai guy was being a bit of a <deleted> and the American over-reacted. If he really did break his arm it could get expensive. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if that is a lie to extract more cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killala Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The Yank should be arrested and locked up simply because of his haircut. Jeez that’s bad, would recommend a number 1 when he’s doing this 3 months jail time. Surely he’ll thank me for suggesting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American said something like "Excuse me" why are you blocking me and after a long flight was all het up and had had enough. Judo threw him Putin style to the ground. He's then in a room being interview by 3 hardened Army boys listening to some wet drip Muslim woman talking to them both like naughty school kids. Absolute Southern fairy nonsense by the authorities. Well done to the American! As for you lot, you've all gone full Thai. What a shock you'd all have on a night out on the p1ss in the Jolly U.K up North that is. You'd be sucking your thumb and shouting for your mummy, wet blankets. And he already got his sign back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansell Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 In the space of a few days we have two farang with severe anger management issues, one kills his wife and the other attacks a stranger in the airport. Many times this is really control issues, or lack thereoff. I would be angry if my hair was receding in strange places like his...joke! i hope we hear what his eventual punishment turns out to be. If my plane is cancelled I usually listen to music on my iPod and relax, or read a book. I certainly didn't know there was a third option of attacking strangers in the airport on CCTV cameras for playback later on international news. One hopes this pathetic person is not in a relationship with a good Thai woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai should be compensated AND the idiot should be locked up for a few weeks. In Australia we have laws mostly know as one punch attacks or unprovoked attacks. If you did this in Aus you would get the 1 year mandatory prison sentence...longer if you punch a policeman. Then you would have to defend civil action and compensation before you could leave the country. An attack like that maybe $50,000 cash up front would be about right. Then you could go home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnlightenedAtheist Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Those long flights with bad connections are rough on people. Funny no one remembers this! Still, if this guy was medicated, ... guess what happens when you have big pharma ruling the FDA and medicating everyone for nothing + neo-capitalism? Wait for your 2 min. ads now, with a beautiful woman selling you ... Maybe it is time for some to start eating better food (pizzas with faux-cheese anyone), drink less, work less to pay for the 2 mansions and 3 wives, sleep more (with one wife),... Maybe it is time for governments to stop opening the brown envelope. Maybe it is time for women and men to start voting better people in (not the most charismatic or the most handsome/beautiful). Anyway, next week, we will get someone from France, Russia,... or Thailand doing the same. Connect the dots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAZZDOG Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 From what I see on cc the gringo has nothing in his hand. The Thai has his board and seems to be impeding the gringo, poking him in the chest while talking smack. The gringo hip checks him and body slams the Thai. Once he determines the Thai is no longer a danger the gringo backs off. Anyone who has watched male Thai behavior and pack mentality in the news, youtube ect might be inclined to be proactive in such a situation. If anything he should have given exiting a try but we don't have the beginning of the tap. The fact someone had begun taping tells me there was some prelude leading up to this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDfella Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes, the video clearly shows the Thai gent with his arm across the American's chest. To me it looks as though the Thai chap is barring the way forward so I would ask why? Rather seems that some happened prior. Unfortunately, this produced an over reaction by Mr. Philips and not really a good idea. Apart from a broken arm which would rank as GBH (I think) there's a massive loss of face here too and may cost even more than the broken arm.

Additionally they have recommended a course of treatment, incarceration for up to 10 years. Well done chaps, you are so astute. I hope that you all never suffer from mental illness, for you may find yourself in gaol, instead of getting appropriate treatment. Mental Illness?..I don't think so unless being a jack ass counts as mental illness. He should be sent to the monkey house and then blacklisted.
