Popular Post SAFETY FIRST Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 (edited) I've been viewing videos of police getting spat on, the police then losing it and beating the #$&% of of the person, I reckon I'd do the same. Recently I read a thread on AN forum regarding a foreigner spitting on a guy in Makro. Would I get in trouble if I returned the assault by punching him several times? The world is a very different place these days, I put it down to poor parenting and removing corporal punishment from schools. Seems there are more 30ish year olds today that are delinquents, never grown up. I know for sure, if I never had a smack or a shoe thrown at me from my parents or canned at school I would be in prison today. I reckon spitting on a person is one of the lowest things a person can do. Edited January 2 by SAFETY FIRST 3 6 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

it is what it is Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 hardly a proportionate response, and an interesting insight to an individual's mindset. while working in china i was sitting on a park bench when a local guy walking past spat at me, thankfully he missed, but while revulsed it never entered my head to get into a fight with him or beat him up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fact the OP is asking tells me he would not retaliate either. Red mist does not consider repercussions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post freeworld Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 (edited) Violence is not the answer. One should calm down and negotiate/talk with the offender that what they have done is disgusting. Tell them they are in serious trouble because the police are going to be called and that they could lose their priveleges to be in Thailand.

Tropicalevo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 When a security guard thumped a Thai visitor (don't you know who I am guy). I paid his fine - 500 baht. For us foreigners, probably more. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police prefer mediation but depending on the damage from several hundred THB fine and pay medical cost to jailtime when really serious damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem with some, the seething feeling to enact revenge. Fortunately there are laws and the poluce to deal with the offender and the revenger when it gets out of control.

That's just it. Here or in my home country, I wouldn't be internally debating the consequences of my actions. If you choose to spit on me, you will feel knuckles. Not saying I'm a fighter, or would inflict any punishment whatsoever, I just would not be able to stop myself. I find being spit on incredibly enraging. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I remember people in the front row of any show with Barry Humphries doing Sir Les Patterson having rain coats and umbrellas. Perhaps the OP should do the same, if he is so concerned. It's a highly hypothetical scenario. I would regard it as an assault, especially in these days of HIV. IMO the best course of action would be a complaint to police. Having said that, I would be very tempted to respond with a quick kick in the balls.

I agree spitting on someone is quite offensive but there are alternatives to deal with it. Not spitting but one time in CW when I was making a 90 day report they have that market in the big open area. I was perusing one of the stalls and suddenly someone was pushing and prodding me with their hands and fingers. I was immediately angry but when looked up saw he was a person with disadvantages. I smiled, he smiled back and then I walked off without incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
