To see him having just hacked someone up, giving off mouth about it, would make me want to give him a little pay back. I hope this utter tosser gets the absolute maximum sentence possible. If he gets bail, someone give me his address. Well cops ride bikes too, and know what it feels like to have a bloody big bus used as an offensive weapon against them. They also have idiots pulling knives on them, and both things they probably find as irritating as I do. So their attitude may not be what you think. BTW if he gets bail and you get his address, might be better to leave your knife at home if you decide to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the other guy went banzai but surely there would have been a better outcome if yet another macho moron was not lugging around a lethal weapon.

TeliNongzidao Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 its hard to understand for foreigners but if you talk about cowards so you not get the cultural differences... being a cowards is not the same thing for all cultures, here you are one if you loose youre face and that doesnt happen when you use a waepon or attack a minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I know I would want to intervene as I don't like to see anybody beat down, but I also know I wouldn't want to confront a guy wielding a sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than being cowards (and yet again foreigners painting a whole nation with the same brush), it just goes to show how quickly belligerent people can get here, maybe it's the heat. The climate surely must play a part. Climate, seriously? I would go more for the lao khoa, the yabba, the pure idiocy of Thai rage, and the possible loss of face that they would suffer, and are prepared to kill to protect.

Yes it is, but from what I believe you can expect any bus/coach, song-taew, taxi and minibus driver to have some type of weapon with him. I am wondering what percentage of car drivers do too these days! Their expectation of problems while out driving are so high. It is messed up.

spidermike007 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I understand that being threatened by a large knife, or what is most likely being improperly labeled as a sword here, is a real issue. You do not brandish a weapon unless you are prepared to use it, and if you are threatening someone with such a weapon, you do not get close enough for the other man to grab it out of your hands. We are talking about very basic defensive skills here. Regardless, once the freak on the bike had removed the weapon from the bus drivers hands, the threat was over. He had no reason to nearly slash this man to death. That was attempted homicide. And I hope he spends the rest of his life contemplating this cowardly act, and the effect it had on the mans wife and family, and all of the dozens of people who had to witness this barbaric act of a coward, who does not possess a heart, nor a soul, nor any compassion or dignity. What a pathetic excuse for a human being. His parents are largely responsible for raising such a worm, and not teaching him anything in the process. No respect for human life. Not even a pale shadow of a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
