.........an incident where a white expat (US/EU?) attacks a group of Thai children and murders a number of them. 

 

Egged on by provocative posts from Anutin, many Thais turn violent, attacking male and female farangs in the street, torching property and setting fire to high rise condos where farangs are known to reside.

 

Would you, as an expat, sympathize with these Thais? Could you understand and accept why they have reacted in this manner?

 

or

 

Would you be furious that you, along with other totally innocent farangs, are being targeted and threatened in this fashion?

 

 

(Are you capable of empathy?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You first

If murdering young children were part of the expat's religious duties, then targeting all farangs who followed that religion would be, in my opinion, perfectly logical.

 

If, however, the expat wasn't inspired by a murderous religion, but simply mentally ill, then demonising all farangs would be morally repugnant and clearly racist.

what ?

Which religion is that? Surely not Catholicism ?

Bought one on Sukhumvit last week.....pretty sure it was soil???

One expat doesn't make all expats the same. I'd hope that Thai people could also make that assumption. 

Regards the UK, many British people have had enough. Too many migrants entering the country and just living off the state.

No .

One sick individual who commits horrible crimes , does not mean that all of them are like that .

Generalization at its worst .

Mob rules like that would make me rethink my stay .

Not sympathise.....but I would recognise how easily people could be manipulated via social media to behave in such a manner....unacceptable as it is.

 

I would leave if I felt the tide was turning against expats... but I have the luxury of being able to live in a whole host of countries.

Bearing in mind the subject and the timing, you're clearly trying to correlate your bizarre hypothetical with the Southport incident...why?

You posted on a forum of which I am a member so it is very much my business, as it is everyone else's who reads the thread.

Manipulation on social media is happening every day . ( influencers ...) .

You cannot believe all that is written on Social Media . ( SM )

Now , in times of AI , even less ... Even photos or Videos may be manipulated .

Your eyes will not show you the truth any more ...

Need to filter and analyse all the info on SM ... and check the credibility of the sources .

You bought a bong and thought it was soil?

 

Oh dear....

Mob mentality is not Thai thing , it's a human thing . The above scenario has occurred and could with variations occur anywhere.

Not Catholicism.  Catholicism is all about their priests repeatedly buggering little boys - not murdering them.

I trying to mentally picture the Thai police force donning riot gear and trying to protect us foreigners from a raging mob if similar events were to happen here...

Nope, it's just not happening!

Nope way, Nope Parking, Nope Hope, Nope is just not a word! Try no!

I'll never condone violence, unless it's an 'eye for an eye' situation, and only involving the principles affected, or family & friends of, and consider it their right.

 

 

If as you say a US/EU person did that to Thai children, let me at them, I'd lead the charge of Thai's trying to string him/her up.
