webfact Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 In a tragic incident at Ladprao 122 Soi 10, Wang Thonglang, Bangkok, a university student of mixed Filipino and American heritage lost his life after a dispute escalated into a fatal stabbing. Saul Jeremy Tamamago, 22, a student at Ramkhamhaeng University, was fatally wounded by his intoxicated Thai-Filipino friend, Set. The argument began when Set playfully drew a 'Hitler' symbol on Saul's head, leading to an aggressive confrontation, reported Daily News. Upon responding to the scene, authorities discovered Saul's body with multiple stab wounds. Set, armed with a knife, was promptly apprehended. Investigations revealed that the two friends, who shared a residence in the area, had engaged in a drinking session at a local restaurant. Picture: Daily News The disagreement erupted when Set's offensive gesture triggered a physical fight. Set stabbed Saul twice before fleeing. Tragically, Saul succumbed to his injuries shortly after being found. Set faces serious charges, including intentional homicide and illegal possession of a weapon. This harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder of how seemingly trivial actions can escalate into fatal consequences, highlighting the importance of conflict resolution and responsible behavior, even among friends. -- ASEAN NOW 2023-08-29 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post Jingthing Posted August 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2023 Tragic of course. A bit ironic that both Saul and Jeremy are Hebrew origin names. Filipinos often use such names. 2 3 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that depends on the mentality of the general population. Something that goes directly down to the level of education and parental guidance when growing up. 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The argument began when Set playfully drew a 'Hitler' symbol on Saul's head,..." Would not have happened if youths were Thai and not Filipino American: Thais are stupendously ignorant regarding Hitler, WW2, etc. Remember when students included Hitler in super heroes mural? 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is such freaking nonsense. Hitler is often portrayed in Thailand as a "strong leader," and Thais use these symbols to show that's what they admire. Just a few years back there was a school here that held a parade in which all the students were dressed up as Nazis. No one was expressing societal frustrations. They were having "fun."

I've seen Thai kids wearing t-shirts with Swastika symbols as well as "F-You" printed on them.

I suspect that this has nothing to do with the 'hitler' symbols itself (which I assume to mean Nazi swastika) and that one of the 'drunk' men fell snoozed off and his 'friend' saw it funny to draw on his others face.... the fight then ensued... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
