ZEUS Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Saw this in the paper today, apparently it's an organised gang that target westerners, Thailand seems to be getting rough in the last year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That's absolutely awful, jeez. TT if you were there and fought back could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Driver Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Holy sh!t. Absolute scumbags. Your man that kicked the mother full force in the head as she was on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm large and have plenty of boxing years behind me. At least I could have fought back. Yeah but what if the numbers grew? Yeah you could have given it a shot but once it became more of them and you were knackered. Noone's invincible. Having said that if you're large then they probably wouldnt have started anything anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if you're large then they probably wouldnt have started anything anyway. If I was there and saw this going on, especially when the woman got kicked, I'd have taken that particular guy clean out. That would have satisfied me. Usually there's a ring leader and if you eliminate them the rest crumble. The fighting was chaos. Take down the leader and the rest look on. While they're looking on you crack on with the rest. Then they panic and flee. I'm not invincible - not in any sense! But you do learn to deal with stuff like this after a while. I went to a school in Rochdale, mostly (85%) Asian and regulary saw/got into uneven fights because they don't do one on one. It's a family/pack mentality. Racism disclaimer: I have many good Asian friends and dated a few Asian girls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The problem is that tourists from the UK in general have zero idea how to behave abroad, they just assume other countries will work by their rules. You can't have a slagging match in the street because someone was a dick to you, square up to them and shout it out, you'll get stabbed. Just accept you are on your own in a foreign country and you should just walk away before it gets worse, no point being a gobby **** or you and your family will end up in a heap on the floor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Sad to say and although i admire the heroism above, in this day and age unless its my family/friends, it just not worth the possible outcome You can be as tough as a coffin nail, but no one is stopping a bullet and unless your professionally trained, getting a knife of someone is no easy task and you will get cut in the process even if you succeed in the long run A buddy of mine got knifed in Jamaica when he was 18, he didnt even know during the ruck, it wasnt till he got 50 yards down the street that he realised his intestines were hanging out, on another day, he wouldnt have lived to tell the story.

Ekona Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 What on earth were the tourists thinking?! That's utterly insane to start anything in that kind of area. Annoyed they might be, but to argue back like that... Well, I don't want to say they were asking for it, but it was spectacularly dumb. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What morals do these people live by? Pretty much the same as the Britain First cretins in this country.

TT350 Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Hmmn. I understand the "don't start if you can't take it" mentality. But if some old cronies started on me for whatever reason, never would I attack them. Let alone so brutally. The woman was a fat, and from what I could see quite frail old woman. I don't know. I just couldn't let it slide if I saw this kind of thing happening anywhere. I tend to react to these things first and think later. Self preservation just goes out the window. I know this kinda stuff goes on everywhere. It's just that I happened to see this on the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 She looked like a gobby old cow to me. Doesn't mean she deserved a punch in the face, but she certainly wasn't going quietly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she probably was. She got knocked out twice. I just couldn't hit ANY woman. They beat the sh1t out of the kid that was with them too.

Ekona Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I'd happily defend myself against anyone. Sex, size, glasses, none of that would come into it. Not that the Thai bloke who kicked her in the head was defending himself at all. mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 To me, it's the MASSIVELY over the top amount of force that I find astonishing. Anyone can get in an argument and someone gets punched, it happens to even the most peaceful folk. But booting someone when they're down and repeated heavy blows, are just WAY over the top. But then again, there's nobheads everywhere. When I went to South America, people kept saying, "Aren't you worried it's dangerous over there?", "You're mad going to Colombia, you'll get kidnapped!" but when you say, "I'm off to Manchester/Leeds/London this weekend" no one asks if you're worried it's dangerous, despite shocking incidents right here at home The worst thing I've seen over here was someone getting glassed, over there the worst thing that happened was getting ripped off for drinks by a stripper. And even then, she was worth it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Different country, different rules. This is exactly what I'm talking about, it's very easy to apply the "I wouldn't" or "they shouldn't", but for that particular country it can be the norm, the locals know better than to screw with the gang members which are likely very easily identifiable. If you watch, before the dick who started it picks on them, he picks on what looks like a local guy in a black t-shirt, watch what he does... He walks away and avoids the confrontation, knowing full well what will happen if he rises to it. Edited April 28, 2016 by Husky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 That would be a bad situation for me. I have a horrific temper, so much so i have had a lot of therapy because of it. I'm no kung fu, boxing, karate, kick boxing expert but if somebody punched my son or my wife for no reason at all, i'd probably end up in prison for doing something really stupid, There's no way i could just let that go, ever. No one would be coming out of that scenario peachy i can guarantee you that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad and brother bullied the sh1t out of me growing up and I was (was) smaller so couldn't do anything. Now it drives me mad to see bullies and anything of the sort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it is more the injustice of the whole thing. What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong and that, is wrong. Needs to be dealt with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
