Did you miss the part about the fellow taking a swing at the Thai? Seems to me a bully  got his  just reward.

I read that the old guy pushed the thai guy, and that warranted the thai guy to throw a haymaker on a 60 year old

Bet he was ex-special forces who was as sober as a judge who only saw a slightly built Thai guy who needed a lesson in who not to mess with, no doubt when he gets out of hospital he'll have a good story of the Thai guy just got a lucky punch in.

Remember people no matter how hard you think you are there is always someone that's harder than you.

Not if your name is Jon Jones

Push is enough to start a fight. I've never pushed a Thai.

Nostradamos once predicted, "one day a Brit will win a fight in Thailand" .

 

The Brit's will have to quit drinking first, who am I kidding 

[richard_smith237]

A couple of facets to this...

 

1) Idiots should never be getting so drunk, acting so foolishly and into the types of situation whereby security need to intervene.

 

2) Security should not be 'knocking anyone out'...

 

So, we have an idiot drunk thug and a actual thug pretending to be security. 

 

Of course, already some idiot posters are suggesting that this 'Brit got what he deserved'

These are idiotic comments - No.. he didn't deserve to get knocked out and potentially killed, he 'deserved to get restrained' for the police to take over, take him back to the Police station to sleep it off....   Thats a civilised response to uncivilised behavior. 

 

There are too many reports of these guards having a 'trigger finger response' and acting with savage and ferocious barbarity - they are often not 'security guards' in the true manner of the sense, they are unhinged characters looking for an opportunity to react. 

 

Meanwhile, there are too many idiots behaving like to$$ers, but the short-cut to violence is not the way to control these idiots - Bars covet the drinkers, the spenders etc but they can get out of hand so a 'trained security is needed' and IF they cannot control a situation, the police then need to step in, thats what the police are for.

 

No one should be getting knocked out in this manner....  its a very close step away from killing someone.....  These Bouncers / Security guards need training.

I watched a YouTube video recently of the YouTuber Trevor from buzzing Pattaya drunkedly standing up to  a big Thai bouncer ... luckily the big Thai guy had restraint ..

This is not the same?

No... Its not the same...

 

You described a large Thai guy showing restraint against an idiot and not nearly / potentially killing him - thats more akin to doing his job professionally and within legal boundaries.

 

The incident of this Op, involves a Thug nearly killing an idiot both of whom lacked restraint.

This is assault, it could also be classified as attempted murder.

Its an extreme and illegal response, it seems that just because someone is a 'security guard' or 'bouncer' they are above the law - this is obviously very wrong.

Why is it always the Brits? Do they have a chip on their shoulders?

I think back to when the Dutch soldiers came into town from Soltau barracks after payday, back in the old days in West Germany.

 

Running battles in the streets between the Cloggies, the German Civil Police, the Koninklijke Marechaussee (Dutch MPs) and the British RMPs. Most of town was put off limits to the British troops the weekend the Dutch got paid!

 

Luckily they were conscripts and so were not paid very much, or allowed out very often.

 

Mind you, there were some really good deals on electrical goods at the Dutch NAAFI!

[Mark Nothing]

It would be intetesting to know what preceeded the punch.

 

A few years ago a friend and I were on walking street and visited a gogo bar that was full of customers and the only table available was next to two big boom box speakers blaring out rap music, so we walked out.

 

The security thug started taunting us and cussing us out and following us down the street, just itching to cause a confrontation.  We ignored the imbecile and no violence resulted.  But it could have easily turned into a similar scenario to this story.

A lot certainly do; mind you, we don't put mayonnaise on them, or go around sticking fingers in dykes...

[hellohello123]

I guess thailand makes you more Hansum but not more like mike tyson, especially at 62

Trevor has a fight every night of the week & his battered face is often shared all over social media.

 

Then goes on his channel acting like he's a top bloke.

These one punches can kill people then in prison for life, is it worth it

Indeed, when he falls with the back of his head on a threshold, that chance is high.

Chips...and fish!

[mikeymike100]

If this was legitimate, meaning the tourist initiated the fight, why did the security guard disappear?

"After the punch, the security guard promptly disappeared into the crowd. "

Does Thailand consider self-defense as a defense? As far I have seen they don't seem to allow for self-defense in their laws, more like mutual combat and both are subject to prosecution.  

[leonard beaven]

I understood the guard approached him,before he physically assaulted the guard by pushing him.The guard has every right to self defense,and to avoid,possible injury from a drunk foriegn person.

Not enough info. Even so, no reason to punch an old guy. Only in pattaya

He's only 62 he's not old a mere whippersnapper.

[Moriarty]

Was the Brit’s name Ronny Pickering by chance ?

[Moriarty]

 

[CecilM]

"Troubling" only if the bouncer had started it, which he obviously didn't.

Seems to me, the he got what he deserved. Why in the world would somebody push on a security guard?

Maybe but a properly trained security person should know how to defuse the situation, not take off his uniform and knock out a 62 year old, more than likely intoxicated, bloke.

[NedR69]

Big greasy continues its downward spiral from any similarity of a safe destination. 
 

Even though the narrative seems to indicate the tourist was the initial provocation, the story doesn’t support the guard trying to de escalate the problem before resorting to a near lethal response.

We are very well-balanced people.........we have a chip on both shoulders!

A tough Brit, a smart Democrat and a sensible Frenchman walked into a bar. Then I woke up from the dream.

Not enough info to make such a statement, the idiot is you

Attempting to assault a security guards (bouncer) is an idiot thing to do for any age and in any situation - and 62 is not old these days🤔
