They have been arrested.

A pair of drunk Italians who are now in custody of RTP.
They have apologised to the people of Thailand and said they were drunk.
Does that make it alright ?

why not  just shoot them, I mean c'mon its a piece of cloth, at the  very least it should be a beheading as for my own UK flag.you could wipe your arse on it and it wouldnt bother me one  bit I dont need to stand up and proclaim  how great the UK is/was/could be

Naahh they thought they were special, and that they could just disrespect anything or anyone here they felt like. Not today...

Yes but let a group of Thais kick a foreigner near to death and watch them receive a 500 baht fine. I guess that is a kind of respect in Thailand, as in you respect us but we will disrespect everything that isn't Thai. Let's start with the derogatory word Farang and take all the way racist depictions and public billboards of Hitler. 

All of this is about SUBSERVIENCE......you  "WILL" respect the Thai flag and  he who cant be mentioned, along with anyone higher up the monkey ladder than you

The irony of that comment. You nailed it. 

I nailed that you have NO understanding of a flag, to you a bit of cloth.  Tut tut.

So your forefathers that fought under a flag are not as important as your iPhone...?

would you stab someone to death for their  flag?

Manager Online says the 2 youths were arrested on Sunday night. The culprits were a 20 and 18 year-old, both reported as being Italian (although their transliterated names don't sound very Italian?).
They're apologising profusely, saying they were drunk. Thai online comment seems pretty heated.
Police said they will charge them with damage to property and desecrating the national flag.
 

Seen video of them apologising (wai). The one speaking has what sounds like a German accent.

They're monkeys now right? For upholding their laws about disrespecting the flag? It's a mentality like that that made these guys think it was cool to do that in the first place.

No, shoot 'em....IF I was a soldier in arms...

the masses are so easily swayed, you cant expect democracies to work when trivial stuff like this is the main concern of the masses

Perhaps in the dark and after a few beers they thought it was an Italian flag.

 

More like French flag. An these 2 fools look older than 18 & 20.

I will have no sympathy for these two when they are caught and really do hope they do time for this.

 

For anyone thinking this is a trivial matter, try doing this to your own national flag in your home country.......................

In the USA it is NOT against the law to burn the flag in protest or whatever.

Keeping people focused on trivial matters suits the power players well.

We all know what a Thai flag looks like but I doubt the average tourist does. There would be a large percentage mistaking it for the Dutch flag.

 

 

 

Red, white and blue feature on a large number of national flags.

are these two in a war then?

What about these guys, who burned MY flag?  Were "netizens" upset at their lack of respect, and out for blood that time?

Are you for real ? 

 

Jail for pulling down a flag ?

 

Oh, this is TV and you must be trying to be more Thai than the Thais, solly me, me forget.

No excuse !

At many places including shopping malls, i have seen other coloured flags like blue, yellow with emblems flying alongside the Thai flag and believe they belong to the Royal family. These 2 idiots are extremely lucky that this place did not happen to have those flags or they would have been in much more serious trouble. 

Nothing a couple of hundred baht won't fix . Hey just look at those that speed ,drunk and wipe out lives, all get of with a light warning or few less bahts , Sure the flags are respect but there not living lives !

When are people going to stop getting offended by things that they were conditioned to get offended by? Flags, borders, the national anthem etc these are just insignificant things created to control sheeps. The very people who created these ideas do not care about them. It's simply a smart way to keep people in check and play them against each other. 

Do this vandalism job in Singapore and get your butt caned for sure as a reward. 

 

Sober or drunk doesn't make a difference 'coz just don't drink if you cannot control yourself afterwards.
