snoop1130 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Police refuse to take on case of attack on Alzheimer’s patient By The Nation The owner of Facebook page “E.Kimmm” posted on Tuesday (June 2) that her father, a 78-year-old Alzheimer’s patient, was attacked by her neighbours because he mistakenly walked into the wrong house. The incident took place on May 27 in Trat province. According to the Facebook post, the neighbour, a member of the city council, got so infuriated by her father that he attacked the old man with a knife, leaving him with several wounds. The daughter said that she reported the incident to police, but was told that the victim had to file the complaint in person. Netizens, meanwhile, have responded by saying that all Alzheimer’s patients should be constantly monitored and wanted to know more details of the case so they can offer solutions.

At first I thought it was the missus, but it went on for about 10 seconds so I opened the door. There was this older lady who looked at me in shock and said sorry. I just assumed she got the wrong door. She was old. My first reaction upon seeing her wasn't to attack her. It was to ask if she was okay and help her find the right apartment. If you've never come across someone with Alzheimers, you'll know the person you're speaking to has it after about 3 seconds. You can just see something isn't right by the look in their eyes. It's a horrible disease that any decent person would recognise in some way and instinctively offer help. 21 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 A very sad situation that is not uncommon in the world. There is an inherent fear in people who are presented with that which they have no knowledge or understanding of. Too often reinforced by superstitions ingrained from birth which defies any desire to consider anything else. And that includes the cultist Evangelicals in cultures and societies that proclaim superior education ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mark131v Posted June 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2020 That any decent person would attack a frail old person with a knife is of it's self appalling That they would do it to a neighbour who I have no doubt the councilor knew had Alzheimer's is about as low as you can go The fact the police refuse to act is unfortunately not surprising as there is nothing in it for them... 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Now let's see if anyone in the chain of higher police command has the balls to act in the manner of the Minneapolis police chief with regard to the decision-making of subordinates. We all know the likely outcome to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 My advice would be to see a top legal firm. I had a case where someone had done a large amount of computer related damage., and even after I had obtained concrete proof as to the identity of the perpetrator, the police after 3 months had done nothing. I went to Pattaya,s top law company, initials S.L., showed them what documentation I had, and IMMEDIATELY everything was resolved to my satisfaction. A down payment was required, but was well worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overt2016 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 One gets tired of commenting on the incompetence of law enforcement here. A simple solution would be that as he was unable to report the incident in person would be to recognize that and go to visit him!!! That is what a competent police force would do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Suspect insists Alzheimer’s patient ‘started it first’ By The Nation The Trat city council official who was accused of attacking a 78-year-old Alzheimer’s patient defended himself by saying the old man was wielding a knife and tried to attack his father first. On June 2, the owner of the “E.Kimmm” Facebook page drew attention from Thai Netizens when she posted a message saying her father had been attacked by her neighbours because he mistaken walked into their house. Reporters then visited the neighbourhood and interviewed the city council official, who insisted it was the old man who started the attack. He said the Alzheimer’s patient had walked into his house with a knife and tried to attack his father who had been sleeping. He said he then tried to grab the knife from the attacker and ended up getting injured himself, adding that he too needed 14 stitches. E.Kimmm later posted that her father and the neighbour had a long-standing conflict, but said she did not believe her father would have attacked them because he has walked into wrong houses several times before due to his illness. Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behaviour.

Matzzon Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ok, might be true, but fairly sure it´s a lie in a bid to smooth things over. Seems to me that the young man on the pictura should be perfectly capable to get a knife away from an almost 80 year old man with alzheimers, without the need to hurt or stab him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy John Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 "He said the Alzheimer’s patient had walked into his house with a knife and tried to attack his father who had been sleeping." Highly unlikely, but like everything in life you have to expect the unexpected from time to time. If the old guy was prone to getting agitated and violent the daughter would know. My dad suffered from Alzheimer's for several years before he passed. Apparently cannabis oil is a good product to control dementia, and by association Alzheimer's. More about that can be found on Youtube. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodysfriend Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looks like this guy is sitting on a chair ... why not just take this ( or another ) chair and use it to push the old man out of the door ? Nobody would have been hurt ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's ok to stab someone if they don't make a complaint. A logical extension is to kill them so they can't make a complaint. Utter nonsence to once again protect privilage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
