webfact Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Video: Pick-up man wais in apology after pulling a sword on a taxi driver twice his age Thai social media was widely sharing yet another serious road rage incident that happened in the Bang Plee area south east of Bangkok. CCTV showed a fat man aged about 30 to 35 advance on a taxi being driven by a 62 year old man. The pick-up driver was brandishing a sword and the taxi driver suffered a hand injury when he tried to grab it. Pol Col Sophon Mongkhonsophonrat, chief of the Bang Plee force, told Daily News Online that the assailant gave himself up after the incident. He gave a wai in apology and said he was angry that the taxi driver did not allow him to pass. It appears he has been charged with assault and having a weapon in public though police played down the incident saying the old driver had made a grab for the weapon to defend himself.

Obvious. He parks in the middle of the road and leaves the door open for passing traffic to hit. Suggest Sharia law be applied, cut off right arm; no more swords , driving all fixed. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxYakov Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 If one is going to assault someone with a sword, the least they should do is put on a shirt for reasons of decency. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alien365 Posted August 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2019 Why didn't the taxi just drive off after the initial talk? I wouldn't have even bothered to stop considering no contact was made. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason: In the west Its the coarsening of culture wherein deviant behavior is magnified and celebrated by its very viral existence. But one thing I noticed in a lot of these violence videos is the ubiquitous motosai guys who are usually the only ones who ever stop to try to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notasmartassknowitallfarag Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 A wai and apology is not good enough! Jail time is the only way. He might think not to bring a sword out with him next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
