I was reading my PATTAYA PEOPLE, 14-21 July 2007... I finished the article on the ruthless Uzbeki pimps, the dog attack, Ladyboy problems, the ceiling scavenger, the VCD porn lady vendor, the false policeman, the Thai salad vendor arrested with drugs... until I came across this article:

"FAST FOOD RAGE", which is on page 6.

Apparently a drunken Irish tourist (with no I.D.), didn't like waiting for his meal, so he punched the KFC Assistant manager in the nose, who STRUCK back at the Irish drunk.

Then both went to the police station, where instead of arresting the Irish drunk, they had the two of them "talk it over", and they both "decided" not to press charges.

This is really troubling. Clearly, the one who struck first, the Irish drunk, should not get off so easy.

I used to go to KFC, and have never felt physically threatened by a worker there. Even at McDonald's, their employees somehow manage not to punch Irish drunks in the nose... but this Irish drunk STRUCK first. He is a danger to all of Pattaya, and should be in jail until there is a trial, and he should, presumably, be sent back to Ireland, where he can get more cocktails.

And in the future, when there is a drunk person, with no I.D. on them, I suggest DO NOT WASTE TIME: Call the IRISH embassy in Bangkok at once.

If our drunken friend is from Northern Ireland, the British Embassy will need to be called, not the Irish Embassy.

You may now close this thread down, if you wish.

It is already in the Pattaya News Clippings forum
