I agree that it was a hate crime, he hated not having the money for his next drink or drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 12 minutes ago, Neeranam said: They are surely doing a lot more than the Thai police would do if it was a US woman attacked in Thailand. Had it been an American woman in the same circumstances, among the first questions would be was she authorized to work as a model? That is, did she have a work permit, if she entered the US in order to study English? Second, who paid for her medical care. I'm sure she likely had sufficient health insurance while "studying English." But worth checking. Just to keep things fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensationalist tat. Disgusting though it is, this is just a typical mugging. Horrific is being raped and then killed with a backhoe and having it covered up by the state for the purpose of face and tourism. That is the definition of horrific. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming a whole group of people based on one persons actions ? Now if a person was to suggest that its a Black mans problem , it would be regarded as racist . You suggesting that its a Males problem, is actually a sexist statement A man beating up a woman. You can dish it up any which way you like. That's what it comes down to. Violence against women. It's a global problem. Denouncing it, you think is sexist. BTW, I guess this forum is made up of 99% white males.

Popular Post connda Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 That's sad. But no Thai should get into a moral uproar as every time I walk past the Thai TV news I end up seeing pixilated videos of Thai men and women visiting violence on other men and women of all nationalities. Violence sucks. But it's not something that is unknown of in The Land Of Smiles (and 10 on 1 beatings). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't really compare the racial aspect of this crime to a similar one in Thailand. For a start, there are and will never be in my lifetime, a European Thai race, although I am one. The African American term is actually very alien to me, and a stupid term. One think I like about Thailand is when they call a spade a spade, which goes against their normal indirect communication style, like in the rest of Asia. For example, I was in hospital yesterday and even after showing a nurse my Thai ID card, she told someone that the farang over there was next. A US nurse would never say that white man over there, or that multi-coloured person(or whatever the correct PC term is nowadays) would they? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THere's no doubt that the USA is more violent than Thailand but it's almost impossible to believe your statistic unless you are taking an all-encompassing definition. And of course, the rate is different for your racial class, making your claim even more incredulous. I'm certainly open to being corrected but 2% is just an astronomical percentage. Well a source I was looking at was saying that..... based on per capita violent crime numbers, although over what time frame it was I forget. This is a different source suggesting similar.

In 2020 As of 2020, white Americans are the racial and ethnic majority, representing 57.8% of the population. Hispanic and Latino Americans (who may belong to any racial group) are the largest ethnic minority, comprising 18.7% of the population, while Black or African Americans are the largest racial minority, making up 12.1%.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_United_States 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have seen the video you can see and the girl mentioned that he grabed/felt up her crotch so that is considered a sexual assualt. Probably not his main purpose but it did occur.

Don't take the subway at 4 am unarmed. The figures I quoted ARE from the U.S Census Bureau, and I am quoting their figures based on estimates as at 1 July 2019, so preach down to me, teacher! However, regardless of which figures you take (61.6% or 76.3%) the fact remains that the majority of Americans are white, and should you make additional investigations, (without "cherry picking" or "handpicking"), you will find that a large proportion of ALL crimes committed in New York, are committed by blacks, although they are in the minority, percentage wise. But don't take my word for it - the figures are easily available, and I'm not your student, so check for yourself! (P.S. Interesting that you should imply that anybody taking the subway in NY at 4 am in the morning should be armed - IMHO, the fact that it is every American's right to bear arms is probably the reason why there is so much violent crime anyway.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a different source suggesting similar. Some neighborhoods are no go zones I expect. Your cited article claims that only Detroit would fall in the 2% figure. The US' violent crime rate, according to the article, is ~400/100K which is approximately one-fifth of your claim. As I wrote before, two percent is just an enormous number and it's unfathomable that it could be that high since you can reason that rural areas have much lower crime rates so that cities would have to be at a 4% rate. That's a Mad Max society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
