I have saw some bad behaving foreigners who should be treated like this Far out, if a foreigner behaves badly then they should be murdered by Thais. You should apply for Thai citizenship, they'll welcome you with open arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonrawdcnx Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 What’s kind of judicial system would even allow bail for somebody caught red handed on video killing somebody premeditated and with full intend following the victim and shooting him execution style ? Confessing to the murder should not be considered for lowering the sentence as there is enough evidence to convict this sick animal.

CALSinCM Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Thais. Can't fight one-on-one. If they lose, the escalate to deadly force. So if you fight one. plan for it to be a death match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect their right to do that. That doesn’t mean I have to respect the very laws. Abide by them, sure. Respect them? Definitely not. By the way, comparing one bad thing to another doesn’t make either of them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike787 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Welcome to the land of smiles. This is just one of the many things as foreigners we either need to accept or NOT. It's the thai way of doing business. NOTHING any foreigner will or can do to change this. Period! I can only hope NO foreigner finds themselves in circumstances that complicate or injure their lives in such irreconcilable ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imkah Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 11 hours ago, Fex Bluse said: One life wasted. No longtime Thailand expat thinks the cop will do more than a couple years and quietly be pardoned or let out. Who would follow up to make sure he's in jail longer? Killing farang and tourists is mostly free of penalty in Thailand. Killing Asians has a penalty only because Asians, and especially Chinese, will retaliate en masse by hurting the Thai economy, which is all Thais care about other than face (money) I get that you are disapproving of something, but what? Is it that killing farang is mostly free of penalty? (I dropped "tourists since you contradict yourself in the next sentence) or is it because we, the farang are not up to par and do not retaliate en masse? Doubt this will make you any less disapproving, but my experience no matter how plastered I am; If I feel like belching on SoMe I always try to make sure I know why I am belching (doesn't work all the time) and ALWAYS check the direction of the wind before I puke.

I agree, having watched the shocking videos of the last moments of the poor guy, everyone is trying to figure what could have been his last thoughts. Guess he realised the imminent danger, and tried the best to save his own life. I just hope he can rest in peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I know someone who knows this cop from my days living in Bangkok, apparently he used to be very friendly, not a trouble causer.

Still they are losing so they get a weapon. Happens every single time They don't really gang up on the foreigner. They were intuitively protecting their fellow, just following the cultural guideline planted into their hearts by decades of patriotic and collectivist upbringing. You can't really blame then for that, because that won't raise critical reflection in the mentality. Thailand, right like many other cultures in Asia, is marked by high collectivism, low individualism, high power distance, and uncertainty avoidance based more on traditions and customs rather than laws. In contrast to the dominating traditionalism and collectivist mentality, the globalization and influx of smart ruse westerners, make Thais open their minds and communicate back with a lot of interest and passion, which is limited only by the force of cultural inertia. But, imagine the context once again. Soi 11, virtually the vice city, packed with criminals, beggars, hookers, drunkards and corrupted police. Early morning after a booze spree, sleepless night, conscience is sleepy. brain is half asleep, the animal instincts are on. No one should be surprised. The wrong cultural discourse, on the wrong time, at the wrong place. The murderer will be released soon, since he did not disrupt the bases of the Thai society. An alien is an alien.

ozsamurai Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I can tell the French guy has trained a martial art for sure, he got the better of the cop, and backed down as a normal fight may go, with honor intact. Little did he know, Somchai would bring a gun to a punch up. Proportionate response, why is it Thai's snap like this!? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are correct that someone passed the cop a gun, that person should also be arrested with the charge accessory to murder. I mean what did that person expect would happen? That person deserves some serious jail time. Indeed, the murder was NOT possible without the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
