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. 

 

You should really read the article properly before making a tit of yourself. 

You might want to read past the second paragraph of the article 😂😂😂

Thai media appears to be inciting racial tensions. Anything bad about a farang gets front page billing. Thai on Thai…yawn.

 

Or maybe these farang stories only get top billing in English Thai media in order to incite opinions among farang. Equally bad in my book.

 

The media should show some responsibility and report matters of consequence, not race.

You read this story in English language media that specifically reports on events involving English speaking Westerners..what do you expect?  The Thai press is daily full of multitudes of Thai on Thai crime events.  Seems more people like yourself citing supposed racial issues.

British media make a point of not revealing nationality or ethnicity.

 

Probably as it has no genuine relevance. People can pretend it has, some to make prejudiced or racial put-downs as so many on this site love to do, But it really hasn't. Thai media like to give lots of irrelevant information, even what a road accident victim was wearing, or the registration number of a vehicle involved in an accident.

Cuz whites are the majority by nearly 5 times to blacks in the US.

And in sport? And music? Fine arts? Theatre? Film? Literature? What's the proportion of great black athletes to whites? Athletics, basketball, baseball, American football? And great black musicians? Jazz, hip hop, rap, soul, r'nb, rock, pop. You're so brainwashed by the negative portrayal of black people in the US. Only seen as thugs and murderers, druggies and pimps. Truly shocking when you look at their incredible out of all proportion contribution to the true greatness of America. Not the racist, supremacist Trump magga chanting morons. But what the whole world grooves on. Yeah.

That's a table from the CDC, the Centre for Disease Control in the US. A bizarre listing. I'm not sure what it purports to show. The number killed I guess. Not the number killing. That many many more blacks than whites are killed by gunfire in the US is a well known fact. I guess out in Montana it would be difficult to find a black man, let alone a white one. Most of firearm homicide occurs in cities and urban ghettos. But it seems whitey is adept at gunning down schoolchildren and innocent bystanders, shoppers and every day people. He accounts for 80 of the most recent mass shootings. Blacks, 26.

You mean your petty prejudices and extreme stereotyping lead you to imagine that people from Britain “are always the same”. Well, in my experience Brits are certainly not always the same and it’s perverse to say they are.

So what. The US names nationalities when it's appropriate. It depends on which media, on what the police report, and there are hundreds of both mainstream media and on youtube. Did you happen to notice that there are a great many differences between Thai and western cultures outside of this event, or has that escaped you? I happen understand  agree with the importance of distinguishing between crimes that Thai people commit and the ones committed by farang. On the other hand they blur out faces and often don't name full names. Readers can judge the stories on their merits. It's their country and their business how they conduct themselves.

Been in Thailand for many years and never hit anyone no matter how angry I was. And never was I hit. 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.

 

They haven't taught that since we left school, is that his you spell taught?

Just another crazy foreigner that is adding to making us all unwanted in Thai citizens eyes. Sincerely hope they deport him after a big fine or lock up for a couple of month.

That is mass shooting which are basically inconsequential in regards to total gun crime.  I'm not a racist just a realist. Below is who is being killed.  Probably can make your own deductions form this data.

Perhaps you're referring to the response when a Thai person (and same in some other societies including most / all western cultures) feels they have lost face (broken face).
