[snoop1130]

 

A man who kicked a stranger in the head at a dance event in the northeastern province of Kalasin has turned himself into the police, claiming alcohol-induced actions and expressing remorse upon sobering up. The police are continuing their investigation following the viral video of the incident.

 

A Facebook user posted a video capturing the unexpected moment when a man, who was enjoying a lively performance in front of a Mor Lam (Isaan and Laos traditional music) stage, was suddenly kicked in the head by a stranger yesterday, November 19.

 

Social media was abuzz as the victim sought justice, urging the police to apprehend the assailant. The incident quickly garnered attention, fuelling demands for accountability.

 

 

Today, police in Kalasin reported that the assailant, identified as Amphol, voluntarily surrendered to the local police station to address the allegations against him. Initial drug tests conducted by officers revealed no traces of drugs in his system. To ensure a thorough investigation, the police plan to search Amphol’s home for any illegal items or firearms.

 

“I didn’t know the person I attacked. I was drunk, and now that I’m sober, I deeply regret my actions. I promise I won’t behave like this again.”

Amphol extended apologies to both the victim and the online community for his misconduct.

 

Negotiations between the victim and the assailant are currently underway. However, the legal proceedings hinge on the medical certificate’s outcome, which will guide the case’s next steps, reported KhaoSod.

That should be a prison sentence. It won't.

Agree might have to pay something but alcohol is a problem in Thailand.

As Pink Floyd said, I was really drunk at the time.

One year in jail should fix the issue.

Dry-out and grow up !

Next case.

The editing of the video to conform to local norms is annoying.

The kid probably thought he was in a videogame. He was probably high on yabba too.

Issan village, morlum, lao khao and possibly yabba.

Can the victim demand the court allow him the same action, eye-for-an-eye? Let the defendant choose a few years in jail, or he can take a shod foot to the head, and take his chances. If he dies afterwards, or is braindead for life, its his own choice.

You did look at the video didn't you? Fairly sure the big bloke would take a kick from the little one (possibly LB just look at those dance moves).

Hang, draw and quarter.

Just a bare foot kick to the head by the look of it, put the little raver off his moves. The perp didn't look drunk, quite a karate kick for someone inebriated.

alcohol, your friend...

perpetrator, the guilty party, the doer of the misdeed, he who will be punished for his crime.

[BangkokReady]

The dancing guy did look super annoying, but the kicker just felt jealous that the was getting attention.  Both need to think about their life choices.

I wonder what's wrong with using perpetrator then.
