He may walk or get a very short sentence. Not sure that applies when you're in a commercial premises rather that your own private dwelling, plus it would surely have to be the case that the other person was the aggressor (the article doesn't provide any evidence one way or the other). You can't just shoot someone simply because they're on your property. Edited May 17, 2022 by GroveHillWanderer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Having looked this up, it seems that for self-defence to apply, there has to be a danger of imminent violence and the measures used must be considered reasonable under the circumstances.

I like that even less than consequences. Now I'm even more mad!" shoot, shoot, shoot "Aaah. That's better. Murder and off to jail for me. It was definitely worth it over a few thousand Baht." And so it goes... You seem to lend your support to the violent criminals who run the loan sharking business and not the poor people, poor desperate people who are their victims. Even in the UK some 25 thousand victims of extreme hardship and poverty turn to loan sharks but help networks are being set up, community banks and prosecution of the illegal, unlicensed money lenders. Its a vile trade and if one of vermin who act as collectors get shot its no great loss- such extortionatists live by a code of violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre0720 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Making the world a better place to live... I remember a lady neighbor screaming on her balcony, asking for help, to pay a loan shark, who was threatening to come and kill her. Loan sharks do not understand that in any business, you sometimes incur losses, and it should be ok as long as you end up with a profit. Their prey on vulnerable people, with business practices that are nothing short of 'evil'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their duties and obligations are only to their customers and shareholders and those obligations do not include bad lending policies.

RafPinto Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I remember a massage shop where I used to go. One of the massagists owed money to a loan shark. This indian guy turned up every night, after her shift to get a cut of her earnings. Despicable people. 10% or more a month. Someone should give them a proper beating on a dark summer evening.

Not in the slightest. The guy went mad, fought the guy, got beaten, then murdered him. This isn't some great stand against predatory lending. It's not OK to kill people just because they beat you in a fight, even if you're Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Back in the 1990s when I was living in Bangkok the collectors came around every night to the girls and collect a portion to pay off their loans. The borrowing rate was 20 baht per 1,000 borrowed, PER DAY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway AFAIC These parasites gangster scum - the leg breakers and bullies who enforce criminal loan rates for unlicensed thugs deserve a good slap and deserve no sympathy if they get hurt. They live by violence and threats- The death of any of these racketeering bullies is a form of justice. They are a cancer in Thai society. You weep for them - I don't. One less bad guy dead.

Debt is likely soaring here, amongst 60-70% of the population. Millions of jobs have been lost, due to a slowing economy, and the sabotage of the tourism industry by the goons. I guess this is one way to deal with debt. I am certain he is not the first person to think of taking out a banker or a money lender. He just acted on his impulses. Normally, I am not a supporter of homicide. But, when it comes to bankers, money lenders, insurance people, stock brokers, and many corporate executives, my heart does not bleed. I agree. The GF was asked recently by a so called friend to help her as she owes almost 50k Thb which she borrowed from all of her family members to help her survive the past two years without work. Instead of going back to Myanmar to her parents home, she decided to stay here and try and find work. I don't think she tried very hard, as the GF showed me her Facebook account which shows her out partying and so on. The GF offered to pay her 400 baht a day if she would come to the salon and sweep up and help out. She of course turned down the offer, and since then the GF has not heard from her and the Facebook account is now closed, or my GF is blocked on or the other.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You talk about running a business, you say you dine with wealthy people, yet you object to the very system that allows you your comfortable lifestyle. If you think your hands are clean of explotative working practices or predatory lending, I would suggest you think again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to your script and be consistent! LOL Get some sleep - you need some rest. You are sounding a tad obsessed. You have proved your point. You don't like Thailand or Thais and you are superior to them. People like me who don't hate Thailand or Thais and don't sit in judgement over Thai people - you consider us apogists - what ever that means.

More likely gambling addicts and people with poor self-control. I've seen some girls take loans for the stupidest, unnecessary reasons, and pay insane rates on those loans (1k a month on a 10k loan, for example, and I'm sure there are worse out there). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They people they help to still borrow money but pay extortionate rates of interest Banks make mega profits and could take risks with scaled rates of interest. Banks don't exist in a vacum they exist in a community. I'm not suggesting they do charity work but suggest they are more helpful to small businesses so people are not driven into the arms of violent gangsters.

My prediction: 18 months and a 3,000b fine, with possible exoneration on a certain person's birthday. And folk hero status in his community, because loan shark "him no good."
