kingalfred Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 So what are the police doing? Interviewing possible witnesses, looking at all cctv in area? Etc. Hmmm or just another statistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostmebike Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 And that for an iPad ? A Samsung ...maybe. But it is sad. A lot more robberies these days , even banks. .. and like most street robberies these days, probably fueled by some sort of addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisi Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Fighting back against 3 robbers for 16,000 Baht? Crazy. Maybe crazy but he did but shouldn't have to die for it.

Artisi Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Probably Burmese or Cambodian laborers. Quite possibly this post could feature as the most speculative of the day?

waldroj Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 No disrespect to the victim, but his friend had better temper his temper when referring to police progress on this case if another TV post is anything to go by (http://news.thaivisa.com/thailand/facebookers-face-8-years-in-jail-for-criticizing-thai-cops/122205/). Without commenting on the cops performance, I’ll just add that this post fails to mention that Shinawatra Tower II is within 50m of the Bang Sue Police Station (just across the road)!

Khun Paul Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Only last year I remember that Thais could not have a done a horrendous crime, and in the last few days, students killing each other, man dies for an iPad, so it is TRUE Thais are just as bad as anyone else . But unlike other countires the Govt speak all is normal and blame anyone but THAIS. That is scary !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobz Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 This is what happens when people can no longer afford to live , its not an excuse , its a fact. crime is out of control , It probably has more to do with drugs or gambling? Interesting point. I think that depression / economic crisis can increase drug abuse. Unemployed people getting drunk / high seems plausible to me. The violence? That obviously comes from ANGER. Anger and frustration go hand in hand. Drugs can fuel this anger. But the anger probably comes from the fact that their parents are home drunk and being abusive, they themselves can't afford the stuff they want. The perceived "need" for "stuff" also increases when one already has low self esteem. Trying to find self-esteem in external stuff. Being angry, being frustraded, getting high to try to "cure" the bad feelings (self medication). All leads to this. Violence. But go ahead, blame the drugs if it makes it easier for you.

swerver Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Still remember the days when kids were killed for their sneakers??? Guess human animals are progressing, now it is iPads they are killing for. Unfortunately for the robber(s) only registered owner can reset an iPad. So all they have is a useless to them toy which the manufacturer is able to track 24/7/36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPB65 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 They probably just had a yaba session and wanted keep going but ran out of money. That stuff is usually never far away from these types of crimes and also explains their frequency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalf12 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Unfortunately is has reached the stage were a Thai can do anything and just get a slap on the wrist for it. There ar laws in Thailand for just about everything and if enforced the country would probably rate amongst those with the lowest crime rates in the world. Unfortunately they are not enforced and if yu have money you can do as you like. The law must be void of class or wealth and enforce the laws equally without reference to the persons background, religion, race or colour. Unfortunately there isnt a dogs chance in hell of that happening RIP Edited November 25, 2015 by gandalf12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe low in our expectations , but in most places ,crimes happen when the victim is outnumbered or overwhelmed by a weapon etc Not much chance of me and my friends who are around 80-100kg Thai boxers getting robbed by an, "opportunist thief" .... but if I were a 45"kg girl walking home at night .... I wouldn't feel so safe... Thieves prey on the weak and the vulnerable and unfortunately, this guy must have been an easy target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ks45672 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Don't those iPads have some sort of tracking system built in? All smart phones can be tracked, data wiped or remotely disabled these days Networks don't like to do it because they know the next user will give them more money.... Police can never be bothered, I know someone who lost an iPhone and the police in the box were totally unhelpful even though the phones GPS was showing it was 1-200m away and had a picture of the thief What more do they need to catch someone?

Mot Dang Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) He didn't have a chance, these predators targeted him and went for the kill. They wanted that tablet. A human life for a bloody Tablet computer. In 1980 when I first moved to Buriram, all over Thailand people were respected by the wide community, one didn't let another lose face let alone their life. Respect for human life and freedoms are on the decline in Thailand. The culture of materialism, greed, selfishness, disrespect and willful corruption is now, I believe, getting out of control. It has invaded all aspects of Thai life. Is this what the new "Thainess" represents, is this what Thais want to be known for ? Because it is going to leave an indelible stain on Thai culture, and history. I have an extended family in the north of Buriram province, not a bum amongst them. I have put all the kids thru school to graduation, but man I worry for the future that these kids will be part of. I just hope that they will live by what I have tried to teach them, and they themselves are not caught up in the now never ending violence. Who can you blame ? Everyone is a product of our time.
