snoop1130 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Video: Swords knives and clubs - yet more shocking student violence on the streets of Bangkok A video filmed on a dash cam in a passing car showed a violent altercation between two groups of warring students on the streets of Bangkok. The student gang warfare - a perennial problem in Bangkok - has been at the head of he news after several bad cases recently. In the latest violence two groups of young men wielded swords, "Sparta" knives and clubs as a chase began. When one group were unable to exact revenge on the other they took out thr frustrations by damaging a motorcycle. Apparently there were no serious injuries after the 8am school fight in Phuttamonthon Sai 2. Lak Song police told Thai Rath online that they were aware of the incident that was between two of the three apprentice engineering schools in the area. Those involved are yet to be apprehended.

dinsdale Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Get them all together in one area, say a football pitch. Give them all real weapons and let them wipe each other out. This of course would never happen because when it comes down to it they're cowards and would never turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12DrinkMore Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The video is very clear, should be easy to find the animals. The solution is easy. Give them a police record and expell them from school with no appeal. Easy. Won't take too long before either the schools are empty or there are no more fights.

It is stretching things more than a bit to blame the current "jumta" for these events. The social and education backgrounds to these clashes goes back generations if not centuries.

Raybangkok Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Having retired here when I was in my thirties now in my sixties I have seen a gradual decline in youths behavior. Thailand is the land of copy so it is just copying countries like the USA and the Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Latest report says that the motorbike involved was taken to the local hospital and is recovering. The police will be questioning it as it is the only reliable witness that they have. I am sure we all wish the motorbike (name withheld) a speedy recovery.

TKDfella Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well, I think it's an image of big cities anywhere. In my day it was the Krays, Richardsons and many other less organized gangs doing much the same thing. No doubt any Americans here could testify to their big cities. I would agree though that there seems to more of a 'cowardice' type of student rage here and a genuine confrontation would be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in the same city as you by the sound of it but I don't think the image is the same as the Krays or Charlie Richardson. They ran organised crime whereas this is youths rampaging more akin to football hooligans or in my day mods versus rockers! Happens everywhere and always has, even in the small towns. However the swords are a bit over the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the swords are a bit over the top! Yep, you're right. But where I lived rival gangs were many and would use all sorts of self made weapons (large nails flattened by railway locomotives and sharpened were a favourite). But the difference there was they didn't run away from each other and it was usually blood everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a stupid solution as it would mean without any other option many would just turn to crime on the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are punk youth at vocational schools with zero interest in history warring over turf and image that didnt exist even a few decades back, drawing a line back centuries IS stretching it.

The mods and rockers thing was as much about socialising as fighting though. Weekends in Brighton enjoying the sun, sea and nights in A&E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll play whatever tune fits their agenda. There is clearly an issue with Thais when it comes to forming large groups and becoming violent. Since the Junta isn't going to leave until they are ready, why let people riot and destroy the place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
