Yes!  Most tattoos spawn from a underlying sense of worthlessness.  Many people feel that their tattoos give themselves worth but don't realize that self worth comes from the inside, and not from outer adornments. The same goes for nose, chin and boob jobs.

 

 

I bow to the extensive knowledge , and expertise, that you think you have.

 

 

FFS....can this forum have any more wannabe Freuds?

Well, there is an immediate difference..........tends to avoid stereotyping if a distinction is made.

The OP picture tells the story. I was replying to the OP.

BUT......again like it or not, humans all use their own personal form of social profiling on those they encounter.

I judge people by the way they dress,the way they act, and how they speak among many other factors. Who doesn't,  whether they admit it or not?

 

I certainly do. What I stated is my form. I'm sure you have your own form.

 

BTW, stereotypes are real and often very definitively correct.

A British national finds himself in hot water after being caught on CCTV snatching jewellery from two unsuspecting tourists in Pattaya. The 31-year-old, identified only as Jordan and easily recognised due to his muscular build and distinctive tattoos, was apprehended by local authorities.

 

According to the Pattaya City Police, Jordan was involved in two separate thefts targeting foreign tourists. The first incident took place on the night of December 8th along Soi Buakhao, where an Iranian tourist fell victim to Jordan’s sudden attack. Not long after, he struck again, this time stealing a gold necklace valued at over 200,000 Thai Baht from an Indian tourist near Soi Yen Sabai in the Nong Prue district.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Thananon Athipansee, from the Pattaya City Police Station, led the investigative team in collaboration with the Crime Suppression Division and the Immigration Police in Chonburi. Their efforts culminated in Jordan’s arrest on December 13th at his residence in Bang Saray, Sattahip.

 

The incidents were clearly captured on CCTV. Footage revealed Jordan riding a motorcycle with an accomplice, both attempting to obscure their identities with face masks. The Iranian tourist, enjoying a casual evening stroll, was caught off guard when Jordan abruptly jumped off the motorcycle, snatched his necklace, and sped off with his partner waiting on the bike.

 

Similarly, during the second theft, the duo was seen tailing an Indian tourist, Mr. Merlin, and his friend before executing the skilful snatch near Soi Yen Sabai. Once more, the CCTV provided a clear visual record of the crime.

Upon his arrest, Jordan declined to make any statement, choosing instead to remain silent. Yet, the police are confident about the strength of their case, with the CCTV footage and clothing evidence supporting the charges against him. He now faces charges of robbery at night with the use of a vehicle, which carry penalties of up to five years in prison, a fine of 100,000 Thai Baht, or both.

 

Authorities are also actively pursuing Jordan’s accomplice, who remains at large. Their investigation continues as they piece together more evidence and possibly prevent any future crimes by this duo, reported Daily News.

Dressed like a lot of farang in a town, I can't understand it, in the Isaan market town where I live the majority of Thais who shop in Tesco are decently dressed, the men in long trousers and shirts, the women smartly dressed and as a contrast about 50% of the falang men I see in there are dressed in shorts and a vest wearing flip flops often unshaven, simply slovenly. It's not as if they're poor, in the car park I see them getting into big new SUV's, it seems they've brought the deprived council estate mentality with them.

I hope he is suitably punished with jail time... something he is unlikely to get back in the UK, unless the attacks could be linked to being racial!

Yep a year in the Bangkok Hilton with some new friends would do nicely... then a life time ban in Thailand

Low-life twit - it’s hope they throw the book at him, but I always hope they throw the book at any thief whatever nationality, culture of social bracket they are from (unless extenuating circumstances as per  Jean Valjean sterling food etc through pure hunger).

 

As per the tatt comments.- there are some worrying Victorian attitudes on this forum.

 

 

Where are our favourite Brit bashers ?? - they ok ? posted recently ? - they’d usually be all over this like a cheap dress on a floozy…

Another fool thinking this is the Thailand from many years ago.  Face scans, fingerprints, (Biometric) data at airport, CCTV cameras everywhere, and pretty impressive CCIB, Immigration vehicles with scanners. 

 

Tomorrow there will be another criminal who thinks he's smarter than everyone who gets arrested.

Really?  What do you base that on?   LBs and Thai offenders are frequently arrested.

As my earlier post, a spell in a jail would be appropriate first. 

Yeah, say 4 years R +R at the Bankok Hilton first and then deportation would do him.

ame applies in the US. This applies most especially to white folks. People of color are locked up, if they don't have good counsel. 

As are white criminals.  The percentages of white vs black prisoners in the US are practically identical, 31% and 32%, respectively.

Ummmmm,  because most of the criminals are foreigners? But, what did you do, time them and collect statistics for a year, you know, collect actual facts behind what you say, or did that just come spilling out of your head like a bucket of waste water?

Well said, but "bucket of shi te" would have been more appropriate.

They really are a bunch of cowards at heart.

You think that they knew whether or not he had a weapon in his bag or whether he was reaching for it?

Quite, it does seem that way, I wonder why?

How many times have we seen ladyboys steal neck chains from Indians, reported here on AN,

i have lost count, do they get 5 years in prison, I wonder?

Why do you say that?  There have been many reports here of LBs and Thai being arrested for snatching jewellery.

He wasn't stating that to be the case, he was asking a question, see the question mark?  Even you can't be tha... never mind.

I didn't see the part that reported that he was trying to delay his return to the UK.  Where did you read it?

Proper police work in that situation does not require a un-holstered firearm.

 

The suspect is obviously unarmed and clearly compliant.

Those police officers do not have their weapons holstered on display, they are concealed in that bum bag.  Had he threatened the officers?  Could there not have been a firearm or other weapon in his bag at the time?   He was not yet restrained in the photo so how do you know that he had been compliant?

Why would there be a need to approach with a drawn gun, from behind, to a man who is on his kness, clearly surrendering ? Seems excessive and maybe that cop has an itch he wants to scratch as clearly the guy was no threat to him or anyone else.

Maybe he had been threatening and, prior to that photo, had not been surrendering?   What did he have in his bag?

Yes you are right, very observant.  So the answer to his question is NO?
