newcomer71 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Quote The man told police he didn’t intend to stab Specht. Sure, he just wanted to give him a fresh shave, but the farang moved so that happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should change your name to dotgloom. Humour is often a defense measure against the tragedies of life. People realise that they are defenseless against random attacks that are occurring around the world. It is a coping mechanism for many. It is also true that some people just find life itself to be humorous and would rather laugh than cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing, and Brewsterbudgen may correct me, that there was a heavy dose of irony in his comment. It was a reasonable comment that would possibly forestall all the posts about this being a terrible place. Sad fact is that every country has its fair share of lunatics who do act or react with violence at the first instance. My mother once asked me if I was worried about living in Thailand, after she had read all the various shock/horror newspaper headlines about the place. I advised her to step outside her front door, turn left and walk downtown on Saturday night; she saw my logic, and she would visit if it wasn't for the cost of travel insurance at the age of 90.

webfact Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 German tourist stabbed in the neck in brazen daylight attack while waiting for taxi in Bangkok A 64 year old German tourist waiting with his wife for a taxi at Mo Chit BTS was stabbed in the neck by a Thai man. The national police chief praised the quick action of four motorcycle taxi riders who made a citizens' arrest. Bang Sue police who rushed to the scene found blood droplets and the tourist with a 3cm gash in his neck. Nearby was a Thai man being held by the "win" riders - he had two Thai IDs. One said he was 48 year old Adisai from Nonthaburi but police believe he is the other - 40 year old Winai Hormniam from Surin. He appeared to be on drugs. He told cops it was all an accident. He meant to tap the tourist on the shoulder but a knife that he always kept with him and was wrapped in a shawl came into contact accidentally with the man's neck. Police dismissed this as ridiculous. Witnesses confirmed that the attacker went to punch the tourist holding a cloth. A motorcycle maxi rider told Thai Rath in a video of the event that he was not aware that the cloth contained a knife. Kritchai Pisitchotpreeda, 58, who saw the incident went to warn the riders that the man had a knife. Winai has initially been charged with assault and detained pending tests for drugs. National police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda praised the good Samaritans for being the eyes and ears of the police and ordered through his spokesman that a full investigation takes place. No motive was suggested in the attack that appears to be completely unprovoked. The attack was at 1.30 pm yesterday, Tuesday.

Sometimes they can be put down to fads or copycat acts, such as the spate a year or two ago of 'one punch' knockouts of unfortunate pedestrians that happened in the UK.
