Wrong. Most gun crime is committed by whites. In other words, safe to assume it's a gone rabid white guy. If it was a black guy, it would the exception to the rule. So it's not mentioned. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476456/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-shooter-s-race/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabradelmar Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Thais tend to like those foreigners more who are just plain tourist because they tend to go with the flow (even when it's against their own better judgement), and then simply leave... Long stay expats (and those here just for the partying) are a different lot... and Thais love calling them out (by nationality it seems) for their bad behavior (which there is no shortage; and a lot of it alcohol fueled)... seems certain expats/foreigners have a tendency to grow tired of the constraint frustrations associated with living in a very different (sometimes unusual) country. Makes you wonder why some choose to come/stay when it seems they might be happier else where. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackleton Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Well what upset the Brit does not require him punching anyone in the face according to the report looks like he is not well liked anyway 🤔 Needs to attend a anger therapy course if he is not wanting to depart the land of smiles in the future 😊 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I treat everyone from the doorman to the CEO with respect. Try that sometime. Guess they don't teach that in UK anymore. Very fair and accurate post but sometimes people and not saying, in this case, a person has done nothing wrong but just randomly attacked and being in the wrong place at the wrong time!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please stop selectively picking bits and pieces to support your comments. From the article: Matthew, who has been living in the village with his Thai wife for several years, is known among the local security guards for his volatile temper and frequent disruptions.

At the end of June 2023, there were 10,321 foreign nationals in prison in England and Wales, out of a total prison population of 85,851. More than half of foreign prisoners were European.

wensiensheng Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 2 hours ago, Dudscar said: Expats should not have attitudes, how do you think this would have gone down if it was in the UK and a Thai man did this might have made a local paper. Certainly not national and international, assuming AN and Thaiger count as that. Very much doubt the nationality of the assailant would be a big deal. of course the assailant would be arrested, bailed and would appear in court on assault charges. it seems this guy hasn’t been arrested yet?
