A notorious group of students yesterday initiated a pre-Founder’s Day violence spree in a neighbourhood of Bangkok. The attack targeted another group involving explosives, knives and firearms. Reportedly, three individuals were injured, prompting the police to inspect CCTV footage. Initial findings reveal that the rival group too was armed similarly.

 

Captain Atit Simcharoen, Station Head of Samrong Nua Police Station, received a notification at around 6.30pm yesterday about students engaging in a pre-Founder’s Day brutal clash resulting in injuries. The incident occurred within Sukhumvit Soi 70, located in the northern Samrong district of Samut Prakan province.

 

When authorities and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation arrived at the scene, they found three male casualties. Twenty-three-year-old Anant suffered from explosive shrapnel wounds and multiple knife slashes all over his body, whereas the other two teenagers, aged 15 and 17, sustained minor injuries.

Very sad, and not in the least funny.

 

Would you feel like laughing if the most seriously injured student was your son?

They seem to have this 'gang' mentality embedded in them during their 12-16yrs approximately.

Where are the parents ?   sadly,  failed parent's is what Thailand has.

That's a really severe course of action by the police. They actually checked CCTV footage?

 

I hope no officers were injured in the course of duty.

Do you know anything about these youths other than what you have read here?

 

quote  "They seem to have this 'gang' mentality embedded in them during their 12-16yrs approximately".

 

Really? And you know this how?

 

Speaking as a father of a 19 year old boy, that is pure BS.

 

Perhaps some teenagers are like that but of the ones that I know through my son. None of his school friends that he has grown up with through P1 to P6 and M1 to M6 are remotely like that.

 

As for your claim of,

 

quote "Where are the parents ?  sadly,  failed parent's is what Thailand has."

 

Perhaps their parents are working trying to scrape a living to keep their families together in food and accommodation.

 

Failed parents can be found all across the world.

 

You are simply Thai bashing again.

 

If you think that youths in Thailand seem to have this 'gang' mentality embedded in them during their 12-16yrs approximately", then I suggest that you start reading the BBC News website where teenagers kill and injure each other and innocent men, women and children all across England, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland on a daily basis.

it doesn't matter if they're working or what ...  What matters is if the kid is bought up to know right from wrong ... it matters if the kid is bought up to understand fighting is not part of their family ethics, and it matters because if they were proper parents the kid would be at home studying or getting ready for dinner,   not out fighting in a gang.  

Now do you know what I mean by failed parents...

Not in the slightest, but I do know Thai bashing when I read it and see it.

Yes,   I agree ,   some get involved in gang related violence.  Obviously your son and his friends have been bought up by good parents and they automatically know right from wrong. He sounds like a good lad.

As i mentioned earlier,  it all comes back to the family values and upbringing,  if that's non-existent then the kid will run wild.

Underlying social dysfunction..

10 years of misery and corruption by the junta instead of giving the youth something to work towards.

What is a pre-founders day?

 

What schools do they attend?

He didn't say all, did he? He was, I'm sure, responding to those involved in the latest episode of youths fighting in the streets. He also didn't claim that failed parents is Thailand-unique. He was referring to Thai kids as this is a site about Thailand. We all know that kids and others attack each other, often for imagined reasons or no reason at all, all over the world. What happens elsewhere is off-topic and nothing to do with this thread.

What happens outside of Thailand is not relevant to this site or this thread. I thought that was obvious. Sorry if I offended you.
