Jingthing Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Interesting.If this wasn't Thailand I would assume such violence would be motivated by homophobia.But because this is Thailand it sounds more like the young men are garden variety gangsters that were super paranoid for some reason or some kind of bad blood before with the stabbing victim.

bluesofa Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Sadly this appears to be life imitating humour (albeit non-PC humour now). I remember an early series of the BBC comedy Not The Nine O'clock News, going back to 1979. One sketch showed a clearly racist white policeman being reprimanded by his superior for targeted the same coloured guy continually. Trumped up charges included, 'looking at me in a funny manner', 'being in possession of black curly hair', walking with an offensive wife'.
