Yes totally uncalled for reaction,  whatever the Russian said  there is  no excuse for the Thai's violent outburst.

Edited November 9, 20205 yr by johng

Head  butt  is the same low   life   move as kick  a man  when on the  ground

Not  impressed   weak  cowardly  move

Should be ashamed  in front  of his little  girl  

Great   for his  cause  the  idiot 

Good  Luck Thailand 

 

Russian probably drunk had not idea what even going on there however the attacker needs be put in jail for 6 months and pay 100,000 bht compensation to the victim and this time that might really happen.Lots of witnesses

Narathiwat “Ken” Khamma

Dear Khun Narithiwat, I am grateful for your efforts in showing us what your version of the "Thai style democracy" would be like.

 

Hope this goes around the world...

Was also silly not to move on with his daughter when it became obvious the protester was a tad unhinged.

Yep, I can picture this movement for democracy getting the upper hand and the the Country ending up with a government of thugs on Yabaa. I'd rather keep the Military...

It seems they don't understand the meaning of democracy. Violence is never acceptable, especially when it comes to politics.

I  made  comment before had not seen the Video

After seeing the Video  it is obvious this  Thai man is a big guy  and used to  being  a bully...also  seems off his face on something?

However  to see  such a deliberate  low act  with an old man made me feel sick...I am so  happy  it is on video for the world  to see 

And ashamed of Thai  men...at least Police have the video   to charge him  (if they do ... after all he hit a non Thia)

I hope he get a prison term  he needs to  be  put in his arrogant  low life   place

I am a ex cage  fighter   and hate  voilence  out side of  sport 

One rule   I live by ... is never  take on an  old  man  or  woman... and never  throw  a sucker  punch ..it is cowardly   and  shows  you are more dog than  man ..I  am  really  upset  cos that poor little kid was with her Dad....Thai  man you  are  a  Dog

Good  Luck Thailand ...I  think you really   need it  ....That  the type of people you want  in Gov..god help you all

could someone please translate what was said in Thai towards the beginning of the video?

And what the russian guy said to get assaulted ?

Look  bro  he was  not upset  or abusive  Russian man was smiling  even after  head butted  

So  what   he said   could not have been too bad  ...No  excuse  for  what he  did anyway  no matter what he said  ....The Thai lady   with the finger should have got  kick in the  butt too ..rude   very  rude  ...great   for  pro  democracy  movement   vote  or  we bash you ...lol

But to a bully  on yabba...   an excuse to wack  a smaller  old  man was to  hard to resist  

That  just about sums it up 

Good  Luck Thailand

The Thai demands democracy and boxes the first foreigner who does not share his opinion.

This stupid militant has just done an invaluable service to General Prayut by showing everyone that it would be dangerous to give him any power.

At least we know Narathiwat's opinion of foreigners.  I haven't seen Prayut headbutt a foreigner.  Maybe he's not so bad after all?

Yes. So ask why a nice  father takes a  young  girl into a protest event and makes comment to cause  anger?

Interest in doing is   for? Business?  Money  lost? Is  he a life  member of  Thai or  maybe on a  marriage  visa  to stay . Is ok to have an opinion  but when  objecting to  ask  for   real democracy  maybe  forgets  what Russia his  Ma  live?

In the full uncensored video there was even a woman giving the guy the middle finger and then also giving the finger the the 10 year old daughter. Most of the Thai comments under that video were very angry towards the woman for being so nasty to the little girl who did nothing wrong.

Indeed, too many foreign guests are fooled by the Land of Smiles propoganda

 

The protest leaders took turns in giving anti-government speeches, both in Thai and in English, urging Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha to resign.

 

I swear to god, Buddha, and any others that I become a monk for at least three months, if he's leaving as Trump will soon do.

 

  But there's a cruel similarity. Neither Trump, nor Pinocchio would resign. 

 

He's got an important meeting with his mates from Anuban II today. 

 

 

  It's still a military ruled country far away from a democracy. The ones who stand up disappear, or will be punished.

 

How could he change so many laws and regulations to be able to do what he wants?

 

These soldiers can arrest whom they want and when they want.

 

How legal can that be? 

 

 

 

 

Edited November 9, 20205 yr by teacherclaire

So it seems like the foreign man's crime was this:

 

A Thai man with no authority told him to leave the area, in front of the Thai man's associates.

 

Foreign man smiled and laughed.

 

This made the Thai man fly in to a rage, that the foreigner wasn't doing what he was commanding him to do.

 

The longer the foreigner wasn't doing what the Thai man with no authority was demanding, the angrier and uglier the Thai man got, as his associates were watching.

 

The result: The Thai man and his sidekick verbally abuse the man and a 10 year old foreign girl, then physically assault him, possibly breaking his nose.

 

 

Just what authority did the Thai man have to demand the foreigner and his daughter leave the public area.

Looks like they were walking along, came across a group of people blathering on about something or other, and stopped to see what was happening. 

 

Then was shouted at to leave (the public area) by a man with no authority to tell them what to do.

I agree, justice needs to be seen to be done on this, Thais are as outraged as farang

The Russian was out walking with his daughter on a public promenade...

 

Thai "man" is a Lowlife No-Class. Someone said he is married to a Thai woman.. so daughter is look-krueng? If so the Russian has "skin" in the game.

 

Only a thug physically attacks a man in front of his child..

 

All these posters saying the Russian had no business getting involved are the same type of people who blame women who are sexually assaulted for dressing provocatively. Shame on you.

The Borg would say: "you must assimilate", but the Thais are so much more refined.

Assault and battery, open and shut case. 
Let's see if justice works.

If it had been a Thai and not a Russian who was the victim of the assault would that then make it unacceptable in the eyes of those victim blaming ?

 

Are people saying he deserved to be assaulted because he is 'non-Thai’  ?

Seeing that so-called "pro-democracy" wannabe politician in action, I have to reconsider all I ever said and thought about Prayut... I will certainly keep this name “Ratsadon Pattaya” in mind for future reference. What a empathy depraved pig... Feel so sorry for the little girl. A shame she had to witness this. Hope that Narathiwat “Ken” Khamma guy will serve a prison sentence and see his stupid idiot party banned, dissolved and all members banned from politics for life.
