Popular Post venturalaw Posted January 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2014 If he's guilty it's another case of just what we need - another idiot low-life from the west making it more difficult for foreigners living here. Publicize the hearing(s), lock him up for a year or two, then deport him. He won't learn anything (who cares?) but perhaps others might be discouraged. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the garbage tourism point, getting a lot worse here now. Bit iffy but he did have a knife! Why? Seen many of these tourists drunk/stoned at 9:00 in the morning, anything is possible, just getting the knife out is stupid to say the least.

For some people any story that doesn't fit their pre-set world view sounds fishy. the American, named as Mr. Ronald Harris Usually in these types of stories isn't someone suppose to say:" Harris doesn't sound like a South Carolinian name." 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigSkip Posted January 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Well lets see.............Falang last month was stabbed in the hand for not buying fake watch by Thai Seller and the Thai Seller gets 500b fine in the "New Justice System", so I would figure maybe Falang will get one month in Jail, 500,000b fine and deported for not buying anything and brandishing a knife. Sounds fair, great for tourism too! With posts like the one the last 2 above you can't be serious about anything in this country Edited January 6, 2014 by BigSkip 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vahack Posted January 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2014 man you guys believe any Thai news they post lol. look how the guy is dressed. he's not a drunk farang, he's a tourist with money and likely spent 80-100k baht on this trip. he doesn't need to steal a lighter - or molest a very old shop keeper. you guys should know what a sober tourist looks like versus a dirty, drunken/stoned farang. this shopkeeper is racist. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post anon467367354 Posted January 6, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't believe this story. I wonder if a guy got angry for trying to be ripped off. which is more likely, a tourist pulling a knife at 9 am in shop or a shop keeper trying to rip off a tourist? I carry a knife, it's my right, but I've never used it for anything other than cutting fruit. Maybe the guy just bought the knife off the street from a vendor? who knows? but I don't believe this story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squarethecircle Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Agreed that he does not have the looks of a bad tourist. Nice phone, well dressed, a respectable man. This may be a rare example of when pulling the race card might be justifiable. Hope he gets off with a slap-on-the-wrist and gets smarter about avoiding trashy places while travelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
