You looking at me? Thai youths beat up bank guard for glancing at them

 

Picture: Daily News

 

BANGKOK: -- The world of social media went barmy on Wednesday as a clip of a bank security man taking a beating from a bunch of youths went viral.

 

The man's crime: Doing his job looking after security.

 

The clip was viewed nearly 200,000 times on @Youlike (clip det) with the tagline: "Attack on bank security - for looking at their faces".

 

Rattanathibet police confirmed they had received a complaint from the security man of the well known bank. He had a cut eye and bruising to his face and below his ear after the attack on Saturday.

 

The guard said that he was assaulted by four people and all he was doing was taking care of security looking for suspicious individuals.

 

He had not made any trouble, he said.

 

Police are studying CCTV footage to see if they can get a lead as to who was responsible.

 

Netizens condemned the attack and called for action on youths out of control.

Who is responsible for youths behaving like that?

Answer their parents for not bringing them up properly.

Allowing them to behave like little s....s.

[trogers]

National Geographic would have advised you not to look at beasts in the wild directly eye to eye.

 

I didn't know this advice is applicable to evolved humans as well...

I know this topic has been done to death but I still see on a regular basis in restaurants around Thailand . Kids running around like lunatics , under, over the tables completely out of control and the parents just sit there with that fake oblivious to it all look about them.  The telling thing is 99% of the time the brats are the boys and just allowed to run riot....and the parents wonder why.

Blame it on the parents and the court system.  Also this mentality that Thai people need to have a group of thugs to beat up on one person.

[anon467848]

The yobs probably have connections and know fine well that nothing will happen to them. The Govt. needs to set an example sooner, rather than later, to demonstrate that these pretentious pricks are not above the law...

 

Bring back the birch....

Hey lets get this right ok. These are privileged Thai youths. Young Thai men are very privileged individuals. What they did was just keeping the social order in place.. their mothers will make them some thing special to eat tonight for their contribution to social placement and orderliness,at the bank today. After they eat mom will give them money to go buy whiskey and look for other people that need to hard instruction of behavior to men like them selves of such great stature.

Probably a hi-so lost his credit card.

The perpetrators are always heroes when there are more than 3 on one.

When rain doesn't stop play I try to get out for an early morning walk at the very beautiful local park and it's amazing at times how many youths and girls, some very obviously students, are in the park or riding around on motorcycles even on schooldays. There are usually more at the weekend and naturally on school holidays.

 

I usually wonder if their parents know where they are or even care and a few days ago there was a very revealing post from a member who said his 15 year old step-daughter disappears for up to 10 days during school holidays and her mother doesn't seem bothered.

As a parent I don't like to be too judgmental on other peoples' parenting skills but have to say there's something sadly wrong somewhere.

My ex wife nephew used to drink and get in trouble when he was 13 his mum said "what can I do "  I said not give money or let him use the motorbike ,her reply was I can't ,it will make him sad .i told them all not bring him my home.now he is in prison somewhere

[jacko45k]

Let the guards have guns!

[daveAustin]

Yep, parenting, as well as peer pressure and crappy TV that glorifies beating people up all have bearing. Someone mentioned it, but one of the unspoken tenets is to avoid looking in the eye of Thai male strangers.

Line of least resistance, easy way out etc. and all too common unfortunately.

I think before condemming the youths......one shoudl look at the actions of these security guards. I have noticed that most of the people working as security guards are basically losers in life  ie upcountry bumkins with little or no education, mostly stupid losers but once in their uniform, they act arrogantly. I have seen many of these in places like tops supermarkets (especially Seacon Square, and Mega Bangna), at Paradise Park, at the various Lumpini Ville Developments at Onnut soi 46, Lumpini Ville Onnut 1,Lumpini Ville Pakred-Changwattana, Lumpini Suthisan, etc. These low-class trash are not taught to be courteous or polite to the tenants, prospective customers etc. 

Actually, hopefully, there should be more thais and youths behaving like these mentioned youths to teach these low class security guards some manners.

I have observed exactly the opposite.  The security guards I've seen, at hotels, supermarkets, shopping malls, etc, are always very polite, and on more than one occasion, Ihave seen them defuse ugly situations with just a smile and a couple of words.  And this sentence of yours:   "Actually, hopefully, there should be more thais and youths behaving like these mentioned youths to teach these low class security guards some manners." , displays extreme hate and ignorance.   I'm guessing that you are quite a miserable person. 

[Retiredandhappyhere]

Canceraid seems to have some rather peculiar solutions to violence behaviour committed by youths.  Even if the guards he refers to are not as polite as they might be, and I feel sure there are many, due to lack of training, is the solution to allow youths to beat them up?

[anon4637435435]

Too many people to blame. The whole system is @#$&'d. 

Try telling this to these lucky to be 80iq crowd. Will end with the same result.

Thais dont care. Too dificult, too much responsability and loss of face to punish its own perfect citizens.

Court system? I thought these kids get off before they ever get to court.

A post containing a derogatory generalization toward Thais has been removed:

Were you abused when you were young?

[captspectre]

aren't bank security guards armed? if not than what use are they? are they trained in self defense or is the job just a lay around and "report" job?

Don't know what the hell you are talking about.I am a Kiwi(just another type of New Zealander !!!!!!!!!!) and have never in my life had any problems with anything like this in NZ.Just as one example in the rugby--------- where would we be without the Maoris. Suggest you open your own eyes before opening your mouth.

Happened to me in England 35 or so years ago when I was a teenager. I was beaten up for staring at some kids.

It can happen anywhere.

Agreed.  This is not unique to Thailand.

In Australia, in my youth, I was forever getting a hiding for looking at someone.

It is a form of bullying, where size, or in some cases numbers, make right.

As a 90 pound weakling myself I have always wished that everyone carried a gun.  When men are equally armed then it is not might that makes right but rather intelligence that wins.

Bullies only pick on someone they think is easily defeated.
