rooster59 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Pattaya: "Scallywag" neighbor had a little too much to drink at New Year - result was death Image: Naewna Bang Lamung police were called to a luxury two story house in Soi Nong Ket after the owner found a man lying dead in his garden. Manas Saennork, 34, had been deceased for at least five hours and had a severe wound to the nape of his neck. Suphap, 56, an associate of Manas soon arrived on the scene to tell investigators that the deceased was an electrician. He was a decent enough chap - not a petty thief in his opinion - but was known as a bit of a scallywag. When he got drunk he was wont to stagger about aimlessly. Earlier he had gone missing after a particularly heavy New Year binge. His last words were: "I miss my dad and want to see him for New Year but my vehicle is broken down". He then wandered off. Police examined CCTV at the residence; the owner refused media attention. They saw a man staggering about. He fell over a potted shrub then righted himself and the shrub before falling over again and banging his head on a concrete edge. He got up again briefly but finally collapsed in the garden by a wall. The body was sent for autopsy.

Popular Post robblok Posted January 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2020 Such a great legal drug alcohol. Its funny how people still demonize cannabis but forget to see the dangers of their drug of choice. Seems especially evident on this forum where the older guys are so against drugs but forge that alcohol is a harddrug. Poor guy.. but self inflicted. I am all for people using all the drugs they want alcohol included as long as they dont bother others or operate vehicles. 9 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaver Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I bet the owner of this place is relieved he had CCTV. Without that footage, he may have been a suspect for murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POMRAKSIAM Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Very sad! An alcoholic suffering a horrible disease being labeled, branded, and spoken of as if he deserved to fall crack his head open die of brain bleed, he was not bothering anyone according to this. ** Wonder how many readers have a problem with alcohol?

But that is a whole other discussion where do you draw the line. I mean people who play soccer and get bad knees or people like me who workout and tear a muscle. I mean where does it end. But I get the idea as drug abuse cost money, but so does being an overweight diabetic. So what is it that people have to pay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not call it what it is an unhealthy addiction. I don't have problems with alcohol or other drugs (thankfully). But if someone has such a problem its up to him / her to get help. If they don't its all self inflicted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, calling is a disease was the worst thing someone came up with because it take all self responsibility away from the individual... something that seems common these days... it's always some else's fault. It's an addiction... to a drug, which IS self inflicted. It is not a bacteria or virus they happened to get innocently transmitted to a non alcoholic one day... its not like the common cold. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough. I had a family member who was an alcoholic, and whenever people got angry at him for his addiction, he would lash back at them, half in anger and half in self-pity, saying that he was suffering from a disease and people should have sympathy for him. To me it seemed just a convenient cop-out to avoid approaching his problem like the addiction it was and instead just resigning himself to an attitude of hopelessness because it's a "disease". And I bet he was happy to hear that term used for his condition -- one that in his mind relieved him of his responsibility to fight it. I smoked cigarettes for a long time and admit I was addicted. I chose to experiment with them in my teens and was foolish enough to become addicted. It wasn't a disease. It was an addiction, and I had to go through the discomfort of withdraw in order to beat my addiction, just like any addict has to, whether it's opiates, alcohol, sex, or gambling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
