Kaalle Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Ok they were drunk but couldnt they have settled for a minor crime like murder or rape? Next thing they will admit to also kicking a soi dog off camera, all this would probably add up to the death penalty.

I didnt say all is good in Thailand. There r problems but its not as bad as u have put it across in yours. I didnt say they should be lynched.. what a word. I said they should be caught, prosecuted for their irresponsible actions. Saying that, if they r juveniles 18 n 20, then try them in a juvenile court n no more than that. I do not know what is the sentence meted out yet. If it is too harsh, i will voice out my disapproval no doubt. Lets be fair. But u r stating they r clueless teenagers who didnt know what is right n wrong. Then why arent they accompanied by adults, parents or guardians? Obviously they r deem mature enough to be left alone, so yup they should be dealt with accordingly to the laws of this land but no more than juveniles. Hope it will be a lesson learnt for this 2 teens. And i m sure u r sensible enough to know that u should never damage or destroy what the property of others and also what might be important to others too. I m sure u will teach your own kids if u have them to be good n sensible too. Edited January 10, 2017 by Moonmoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonmoon Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 8 minutes ago, hugh2121 said: I could understand a charge of criminal damage. A flag is a piece of coloured cloth? U r right. There r belongings n property that belongs to a single private entity n also public as well. What might be important to 1 for eg a family heirloom or maybe a motorbike might not be as important to others simply because its does not belong to anothet person. A national flag in this case might be a piece of cloth to other nationalites but would be held dear by many in this case making it a public property, a national symbol. I would not go n vandalise another persons property or destroy another kid's hand me downs just because it is of no importance to me. If someone is caught doing so, then they have to face the music. For the punishment n sentence for the degree of crime, lets debate again on that when we know what is meted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Two Italians charged for disrespecting Thai flag Phuket Gazette The suspects were charged with property damage, as well as damaging and disrespecting the national flag. Photo: Kritsada Mueanhawong KRABI: -- Two Italian tourists were arrested on Sunday after CCTV footage showing them disrespecting the Thai flag and damaging public property in Krabi emerged on social media the day before. The video shows the men – named Ian Gerstgrasser and Tobias Gamper – pulling down the flags and dragging them on the ground. The footage has been shared thousands of times on Facebook, with several commentators demanding immediate punishments for both men, saying they had disrespected the Kingdom and should be held accountable. Comments also included veiled threats, warning the men to ‘be careful on the streets of Thailand’. Following their arrest, both men apologized to the police and public, claiming that they were drunk and not in control of their actions.
