I always steer well clear of anything like that (I even stand up in the cinema when they play the Anthem) however I commend any foreigners who are prepared to join the "fight". I also commend non-Thais for the same reasons. I think however it was made clear in 2010 that non Thais getting involved could face deportation. I remember the British/Irish guy who said he was gonna break into Central World, steal all the gold watches & sh*t on the carpets, not the brightest spark!???? ???? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if more foreign residents in Thailand were brave enough to stand up and be counted, faster progress towards a just and fair society could be made. Where everybody nuts somebody because they don't agree? Right. Thats democracy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was just out for a walk .and they were speaking english.So he listend to see what it was about.Thai want you to listen to them and agree.Best to ignore them.Sadly ,he learnt the hard way.The thai will say he said something to justify his actions.And that will be the end of it.Farangs own fault.If it was the other way.Go to jail do not pass go ,or pay a huge fine.and if you do not leave thailand very quickly.expect to be attacked by many when you are on your own relaxing.WELCOME TO THAILAND. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to translate John Stuart Mill into Thai... he is a red shirt who "joined forces" with pro-democracy protesters. the pro-democracy guys need to be very careful about who they let "help" their cause. redshirts and pro-democracy have the same enemies, but they clearly aren't the same people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Megasin1 Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 You could rightly say that the Russian didn't display the best sense, but get real !!! You cannot condone in any way the behaviour of the woman or the thug and people that do need to take a good look at themselves in the mirror. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for this red shirts racist, brutal behaviour and whether or not the Russian should have been there is just, as usual typical snowflake reasoning, whereby the victim of an assault is blamed for the crime. It is a reflection of some peoples total disregard of the law in Thailand that at an event that is being filmed by many does not in any way deflect them from the path of their upbringing, he is obviously so sure of himself that he feels he can attack people openly in public, whilst being filmed and nothing will come of it. I have seen posts excusing this and saying that he is not a reflection of the democratic party but i didn't see any of them intervening at what was their rally. If the Russians intention was to provoke this sort of a reaction then it surely shows the stupidity of the Thais at the event. It is a real shame that this man's daughter was subjected to seeing this and was also in receipt of the abuse from the woman. Xenophobic, racist and downright so dumb display of utter ignorance. A really, really good advert for Thailand, displaying the true under-belly of suppressed hatred and frustration that lurks beneath the smile. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What caused the confrontation in the first place; anyone know? Thai news reporting the Russian said to the protester that it was the protests fault for loss of business in the area. IMO if you don't have a vote here, stay the hell away from the protests - it's not your affair. I can imagine the result if some Thai in Russia starting lecturing them on their civil rights lol. Lesson? Don't stick your nose in another countries politics - you might get it kissed by a forehead. And to put your child in between? What was he doing using her thinking Thais would let him be an a$$**** because he had his kid there? Nice father lol.. 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mahjongguy Posted November 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2020 1 hour ago, khunpa said: Plain stupid to get involved in a Thai protest and even more stupid to bring a kid. There's no reason to think he brought his kid to a protest. This happened on Jomtien Beach Road at an L-shaped corner. It's the normal path for everyone who comes from the restaurants and shops along Thrappraya Road and wants to stroll the beach walk. Pretty much unavoidable whether on a bike, in a car, or on foot. There's a dozen people with microphones saying stuff in a language he doesn't understand. They seem quite serious about themselves so he smirks. The leader curses him, then headbutts him. Some b**ch struts over and gives him the finger, and sticks in his daughter's face too. Hey Ho Democracy. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
