Road Rage and Its Aftermath

[midlifecrisis 4,048]

Both of those men are lucky they didn't kill the other. I can't blame the Thai guy quite as much as he could have been killed by the car. I am not excusing him, I just understand why his adrenalin was racing though his system.

 

The cops there need to learn how to separate the parties. It is not just important to prevent secondary conflicts but also in gathering information.

 

I would throw the book at the white guy and give probation to the Thai based on what I have seen.

Has time to get cleaver from back of vehicle - has time to exit the 'threat'

 

legally he's screwed

 

Inflicting little 'nicks' deterred just what imminent life-threatening situation??

 

TBH he'd have been better having the weapon available to him in the cab exiting with it and flat siding him across the head with it, dropping it and claiming it was the other guy's rather than this no-win scenario

The fact that he kept it 'in the back' suggests he wasn't carrying it as a weapon.... well maybe. Most carry their wheel brace under their seat if that is the reason for it.

i feel sorry for his daughter to witness this, if he had done that in aussie , they would throw the book at him big time, senseless road rage, bite your tongue and move on.

Yes indeed, must have been horrible for her, but she did a great job of translating. Perhaps she is used to papa's road rage lol

His daughter didn't witness the actual "road rage" incident, but she did see him get punched out by the Thai guy. That must have been traumatic indeed. She's the only one for whom I feel sorry. The Brit and the Thai deserve whatever they get.

 

I have relatives in LE in the U.S. and the U.K. and I shared the videos with them. On both sides of the Atlantic, they were amazed that the Thai cops let the two parties get close enough that one could punch the other. They said it's Policing 101 to keep them apart. The U.S.side was also amazed the Thai guy wasn't immediately put in cuffs. In the U.S., he would have been forced to the ground, then handcuffed and immediately transported to jail.
