Smokin Joe Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 minute ago, brianthainess said: It is HIS foundation, foundation=Charity why make a 'Foundation' if you don't need Donations? Wrong. the word "Foundation" does not make his business a charity. And where did you see it referred to as a foundation. If you look at the business website you won't see the word "foundation" anywhere. At least I didn't see it. You also won't find any mention of donations.

Popular Post Zack61 Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 Perhaps some action to address the actions of his wife. She was almost as complicit in the crime as was her husband.

He has not yet been blacklisted. If he shows contrition for his actions, if the court deems it appropriate, he will be allowed to get another visa and continue living in Thailand. If not, he will be blacklisted and not allowed back in. 2 hours ago, jacko45k said: There are fingerprint readers involved nowadays. I expect his will be on record.

Popular Post ChicagoExpat Posted March 8 Popular Post Share Posted March 8 24 minutes ago, JimTripper said: I wonder if the kicking one was an accident? If someone is sitting below you just a brush of the foot would be blown out of proportion. It also happened on a beach stairway which does not seem like a likely place for an intentional kicking. Then, you have a Thai doctor who may be over sensitive to the implications of foot or leg contact by someone standing over them. The video (a Thai friend showed it to me) was really, really ugly. The guy filmed himself approaching the women say "Get the f out! Get the f out!" and while the kick isn't clearly visible because of where he was holding his phone while recording, at one point of the women cries out in a way consistent with some sort of violent contact. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no clear, visible evidence of a kick on her back, as I have been saying all along. The Thais, and some foreigners, have completely lost the plot over this guy. Speaking with some Thai mid-management level work colleagues this morning, and all rational thought has gone out of the window. They are actually completely controlled by their emotional reaction to this case and unable to think rationally. No evidence he brandished a gun from his car. No evidence he was threatening people on the beach with a shotgun. No evidence that his elephant sanctuary is illegal. No evidence he is a scammer. No evidence that he Etc. So Swissman David might indeed be a total <deleted> (I haven't met him and don't know him), but it's a disgusting, xenophobic witch hunt against a foreigner that has repercussions for all expats living here in Thailand. Believe that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 All those doubting me in saying it is a FOUNDATION then please go to the BP 5/3 12.57 where it says '* Mr. Fehr had a business visa and a Registered Elephant FOUNDATION.'* reported by the Gov of Phuket.

In addition, he apologized, which is good evidence it happened. And there are witnesses. You need a better hobby that arguing the sky isn't blue and water isn't wet.

rexpotter Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 These brief articles do not really tell us the whole story. The guy in Trat obviously was treated in a really bad way to react like this. Maybe a neighbor? Yes, Swiss are extremely arrogant, and my first experience in Switzerland in 1980 riding my bicycle through europe while on a train, and sleeping on the floor with my bike, the conductor kicked me on the ribs to wake me up. I can sill see his shiny jackboots. Welcome to Switzerland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think of the video -- you think it DOESN'T show what I said? There was a yelp from the woman, but that still does not show that he kicked her. He claims he slipped and it was an accident, hence the contact. Remember, the prosecution's case must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime was committed. There's reasonable doubt right there for anyone of a rational mind. Personally, I am of the opinion he did kick her, and he is probably an odious individual, but opinions shouldn't count in a court of law.
