I think you guys have just about said it all.

These very immature Thai males need to grow some brains & some severe training in self discipline. Idiots

Hard to imagine this really happened in 2019 with grown men attacking teachers and forcibly kissing a student in school over noise complaint. ????

... and now the accused lie and deny disturbing anyone!! Bunch of lying animals. Taking zero responsibility for thier own actions. Really pathetic. 

I agree with all the above.  Just pathetic individuals!  Brandishing weapons for this is just beyond any reason.  Everyone of them should do some serious jail time.  Thank God, none of these fools fired a round or two off!   No excuse, book'em!

What is it with this stupid ultra loud music at weddings and ordinations? I hate going to these events because the volume of the music makes it impossible to converse with anyone.

[Cake Monster]

just another example of Thai male egotistical and moronic attitude.

The children sitting the exam will for sure have a higher IQ than these cretins, who obviously have an IQ that is only One above Pond life.

[Destiny1990]

This will be settled with some traditional 500 bht fines and some Wais.

[Torrens54]

Disgusting Bags of Puke !

What a “wonderful” example to the WORLD of supposedly Good Buddhists these creatures are.

 

Hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and LOCKED-Up as an example to any other similar morons.

 

Would also be appropriate to allow any students who so wish, to re-sit the examinations.

Look to Burma to see the future of Buddhist activism here.

When  mix religion and education  lol

[BigC]

Was the  school on temple land?

[Grusa]

I understand and mostly agree with all the reactions expressed here. What I do not understand is; why would the perps voluntarily present themselves to the police?

 

There is safety in numbers and the bib are not about to actually put any effort into tracking them down individually! Yes I know about confession and sentence halved, but they did not murder anyone. Half of 500baht and a wai is not a discount worth pursuing.

There are other influences in the mix. Not too be discussed. Militant Buddhism is on the rise

They like to pick on old people and molest girls.  What exactly do they do as gang?  Steal lunch money.

I perceive this as religious based mob violence enforcing and protecting a religious rite from a perceived insult.

[Jack P]

Building a school next to a temple is stupid.

 

Not turning the volume down for a good reason is mean.

 

Armed trespassing in a school is not Buddhist, to say the least.

It's basically to prove to the surrounding area and people that all those attending are somehow better and the more noise they make the more they believe they are better and uninvited people should be jealous.

Or, maybe they're more likely to be as dumb as a box of rocks.

That would involve coherent thought so, sorry, try something else. ????????????

"One school executive sustained a broken nose. A female student was allegedly forcibly embraced and kissed." 

 

"The men – 12 in their 20s, two age 18 and six between 32 and 41 – insisted at Bang Khun Thien Police Station in Chom Thong district they were involved in no violent misbehaviour."

 

Someone's telling porkies - what a surprise!

 

Apart from that, the men had no right to be on the school property at all - and ARMED!!! The mind boggles as to what the outcome COULD have been!

loss of face can be a dangerous thing here.  

[roo860]

But obviously not armed with any decency, decorum or brains. 
The Singapore rattan seems appropriate punishment in this occasion.

Dished out in front of the whole school, it's getting a lot of attention on Thai news.

I can imagine what would if happened if violent and armed men forced their way into a school in places like Australia or the U.S.  the school would be swarming with heavily armed police and I wonder how many would actually get to walk out.

Never in Oz, never has, never will be. Fact. We are an intelligent race and have gun laws. 

[oldrunner]

I'm sick and tired of reading of Thai Males on rampant ego trips, and then to return to the scene of the crime claiming they did nothing wrong. Cabinet samashed, desks overturned, female student molested (Oh not me), these men have earned time in prison and if not given, they set the trend for all immature Thai "men".

Well, yes, things made them angry and it has the side effect of making the two brain cells move apart for a while.

Two brain cells, don't exaggerate..

Thin skinned, egotistical girlie boy oxygen thieves. How on earth did this happen? So sorry for the victims and I feel empty and gutted by this childish violent reaction. 

A strong response is required but I don’t think these poor people will get any justice from the powers to be. 

Absolutely disgusting but somehow reflective of so many things that are wrong with this country. 

[indepth]

What race opens up with automatic weapons on school children on a nearly weekly basis, mass shootings common occurrence, opens up on concert goers killing dozens? Not the "Thin skinned, egotistical girlie boy oxygen thieves.".  Your mind needs to be like a parachute, it needs to be open to work. 

[Dumbastheycome]

To  carry weapons  into a school is  an act of  violence simply  by the threat. That they  came from a temple  exacerbates the entirety of the whole scenario.

Even by admitting their presence  does  not lessen the  severity of that regardless of  denial as to any  other accusations. If they are  not locked down for a significant time it will be another sad blow to  the Thai society in any expectations of  social order.

Weapons and religions walk hand in hand and have done that since the very beginning ...

True. And the nastiest weapon is the deception of the wordings that falsely justifies the metallic. 

[Trevor Collins]

I fail to see how ear-busting music, played at a volume that disturbs school exams, is a suitable or necessary

part of an ordination into the contemplative life of a monk. The immature yobs who stormed the school when a teacher complained will certainly not be admitted into Heaven or Nivanha...

[Baerboxer]

The picture seems to show 2 gentlemen in military fatigues along with the police telling the culprits off. MP's perhaps?

 

If so, there's a good chance these louts will get what they deserve.
