Yamada. Not an American name. (To offer a common Brit defense) 🙂 

What's an "American" name then?

What is relevant here is that a drunk idiot mowed down a family, caused all kinds of mayhem and then fled from the scene of a crime. Who would do something like that, what is wrong with that person, what kind of a lowlife flees from the scene of a crime after causing grave injury? 

 

I think what is more relevant is that they are dragging this back into the spotlight months after the fact to support the government's new farang are bad narrative against tourists and expats. 

I have lived decades in Thailand and never experienced similar negativity.

Well had this American hit a Thai family instead of a British family you can bet that this whole matter would have been handled a whole lot differently.

Probably because the family didn't immediately sell their story to the Daily Mirror.

Maybe it was the SUN:

Maybe it was both:

Yup, the American guy is a POS… & I hope they catch him. 

 

BUT, why report this 2 month old story now ? 
….. piggy backing on the “bad farang” rhetoric much ???? 

 

Why not? Do you oppose it?

 

May. he spend the rest of his worthless life in jail.

Some Scottish people don't  but the majority voted to remain in the United Kingdom. Your vast knowledge of this subject comes from.?

Quality tourists galore!

Lets get together and justify this accident too.

(It would be very difficult task, as no Thai person was involved).

Karma is showing the right way...

I'm not against the reporting of this at all..  But I do question the timing and motives for reporting this two months after the event...

 

As I mentioned, I suspect this is published not because its news (its already history) but because this will attract views while 'piggy backing on the “bad farang” rhetoric'...

Thanks for letting us know your suspicions Dicky.

 

Appreciate that.

Yeah I thought Prayuth administration was fairly toxic when it came to foreigners. Sretta seems to be raising the bar to another level, the man is just unbelievably obnoxious, useless, and such a pretender.
