21-year-old man arrested for assaulting 51-year-old man to death

[Chwooly]

My brother had something similar happen to him but he lived though he was never the same. The guy got 3.5 years in wrong jail for him my brothers good buddy was serving time in same place. The guy that destroyed my brothers life ended serving his time in a wheelchair. And still in it years later. My brother passed away because of medicine he took to keep him alive was cancer causing.

An eye for an eye simply does NOT work. Death sentence does NOT work. Frustrating it may be, but the only thing that will work is raising our children with empathy. Yet excesses like this horrible murder will happen again. We can only try to make it happen less. There are no quick solutions.

While I agree with you that an eye for an eye doesn't work. why should the assailant be allowed to live when he didn't have the same consideration for the person he killed. And why should society have to bear the cost of incarcerating him to prevent him from doing this to another person.

...blah...blah...happens everywhere...blah blah...

You apologists should be ashamed!

Indeed, and Thai people would not even think about defending Thai scum, so why do the Thai apologists on this forum try to defend everthing Thai. You apologists are disgusting, preiod.

A bickering session with no end in sight has been removed.

Assaulting to death- who comes up with a word creation like this for murder? Was it the RTP spokesperson who used the term "cardiac arrest" after the victim was pushed from a balcony at the 18 floor?

Well, Americans say 'shot to death' - equally poor English, IMHO.

Actually, THIS specific piece of excrement is THAI, it happened in THAILAND, this is THAIvisa and we are discussing THAI matters.

Following your logic, you may as well stop complaining so harshly about Thaksin, Yingluk and the other morons in that pack, because ...hey...there are bad and corrupt politicians everywhere, so...

Again: THai- guy, Thaivisa, Thai happening...focus on the Thai-aspect!

Not a hard concept to understand, is it?

And in order to contextualize it, comparisons with other countries are important.

Your closed narrow mind only enables you to think in tramlines, so yes, these are actually hard concepts for you to understand. Don't take offence, those who never had the chance at higher education often cannot conceptualize or contextualize.

Once again, just for you, - there are bad people and good people all over the world, in all races and nationalities. Therefore race and nationality are not singularly moderating factors on human behavior. Indeed whether you are considering murder, violence or criminal behavior. Culture affects behavior and attitudes, such as views of authority, acceptable norms etc., and different attitudes can be noted at different historical times.

Unfortunately your sentence about logic confirms only your inability to differentiate between logic and sophistry; as your inappropriate use of capitals shows your inability to understand the forum rules.

You don't know me or anything about me and for sure not, what kind of education I may or may not have.

So tell me: why is it important to contextualize it and compare it to other countries?

If this article would be about shop-lifting or smoking in a no-smoking zone, would anyone feel the urge to point out, that it "doesn't only happen in Thailand"?

We all know, that road rage is not only happening in Thailand.

Everybody knows that!

Even the people who "thai-bash" know that!

Why does it have be pointed out over and over again, if not for the reason of "yeah...it happened here...but look over there!"?

...and why do we never hear that, if/when any Thai does something good?

Why no "no big deal...people in other countries do that as well"?

You know the answer, I know the answer!

So spare me your condescending BS!

Have a good day!

Don't be such a pompous prig. Those who point out things, such as violent assaults, murders, etc., sometimes sparked off by road rage, obscure comments or trivia are not apologists but responding to those who come on here to slag Thailand and Thai people off as if the rest of the world is paradise.

Badness, wicked, and evil people are not determined by race or nationality. To suggest they are is nonsense. Posters relate things to their own worldview which has been shaped by all the influences and experiences in their lives.

People who commit crimes like this, whatever country they come from, wherever they live are disgusting pieces of excrement who deserve the harshest punishment on conviction.

Sophistry.

You agree with a poster who points out that speaking the truth is somehow apologist. Get a grip. No one is apologizing. But those who try and use it to bash Thailand and Thais are writing nonsense.

Which posts do you think actually defend him?

Only a sad loser of a thai apologist, would say "It happens everwhere", regarding this thread. Disgusting

I wonder if we will ever see any follow up as to what happens to this bottom sucking pond scum. Showing remorse to the family to avoid the death sentence most likely.

Probably got a fine of a few thou.
