I often wonder how the police identify suspects via cctv.

 

CCTV doesn’t show the names of people depicted, so is it that the police have prior knowledge of the individuals and recognize them when they see them on cctv, or do they wander the streets after the incident and look at peoples faces until they recognize them?

Simple. The police just bring the footage and show local people in the brawl area to identify these trouble makers as they surely frequent these areas in ungodly hours.

Five Thai men, with knives.

 

Part of the culture.

Including the numerous 'wai's', and Kaw Thots, hopefully after the beating and the stabbing. Also part of the culture.

To indicate their respect and politeness.

Also part of the culture...

Sex-tourism is regarded as 'normal' there. 🤷🏼‍♂️

5 arrested ... only one may eventually be the main fall guy .. the guy who actually stuck him and he is unlikely to confess. The rest of the gang will probably walk.

In the video the Thai in the white cap grabs a knife from a table, so that's somewhere to start.

Most of Europe has nightlife areas open until dawn. Why not Thailand?

An alcoholic looking for trouble perhaps.

A young guy probably  enjoying himself prior to being attacked.  Not everybody has resigned themselves to being a member of the pipe and slippers brigade

If you're silly to be in that area at 4.40 in the morning you have to expect "events" like that. He didn't die and will probably in a safe hotel room or at home next time.🙏

Would you extend similar "sympathies" to a woman if sexually assaulted or raped at 4:40am.  Afterall she would  obviously have been  "asking for it"

and in your considered opinion, that is the reason and justification for this attack?

I agree.

 

Even though you would never catch me at a hell hole like bangala road anytime of the day, let alone at 4am, this guy did not deserve to be stabbed just because he was there.

 

That is an absurd thing to suggest.

Well done the police.... a little credit where its due.

 

A month each in the monastery for the attackers, two months for the guy with the knife, and that should do it, back to normal.

And where are the hysterical outraged "netizens" with their evangelical concern for the tarnished image of Thailand? All conspicuously silent as is usual following incidents like this. But walk naked or drive a car on the beach and the outcry is deafening

The life of a farang is worth nothing here.

 

But the pride of a Thai.....

Nobody deserves to be stabbed.

However, you can do a lot to avoid being assaulted: don't enter dangerous areas late night till early morning.

And don't get into brawls with Thai men.

Don't act like an idiot.

5 thai men?

 

not a chance.

 

1 cocky thai man on his own with nobody around to see it?

I would gladly smash the living daylights out of him.

[Thingamabob]

As others have said, in that area at 4.40 in the morning there is a lot of potential for trouble, mainly down to alcoholic excess.

Unlikely to confess? I am always surprised at the easy confessions here for crimes committed.

Why are you surprised? The Thai justice system is built for confessions as a confession offer 50% off the time in jail. If other countries made the same offer, you would see it there too.

But, he will have a knife or a gun in his pocket, and the other four waiting around the corner. 😉

Now I'm curious:

#I would gladly smash the living daylights out of him.#

 

How you would do it at 4.40, assuming you are drunk. And the described ONE Thai man would appear in blurred view as 5.

Which one you would smash first? 😂😂😂
