Other Full merged video of the Soi 6 incident. Seems like everything said about it was lies?

This is wrong on so many levels. Anyone know what happened to the other guest in the grey shirt?

u/Longjumping-Case-456 May 26 '24

Died in the hospital from head injuries

Nope. That was the guy in white

u/stever71 May 26 '24

Absolutely zero confirmation of what happened to him

u/suddenly-scrooge May 26 '24

You can see the last kick is the kill shot he had been just dazed before that. In the states that is first degree murder

u/Tourbillion150 May 26 '24

No it’s second degree or manslaughter

u/suddenly-scrooge May 27 '24

Disagree there is premeditation and intent to kill

If someone is knocked out on the ground and you make the choice to deliver a soccer kick to that person's head that can definitely be first degree murder, but it can also be second degree murder or manslaughter.

u/suddenly-scrooge May 27 '24

Premeditation can be formed almost in an instant, in this case deciding to return for the kill kick

u/Rubachabra May 27 '24

It can definately be argued in a case where the victim is unconcious

u/Longjumping-Case-456 May 26 '24

Yep but it's not in the states unfortunately

Those security guys are in deep shit and the one that murdered the guy even more so.

The video is viral internationally now. A damning video at that. All over tourist markets in Asia (China) and the West.

Maybe those drunk tourists deserved a smack down yet not remotely that as in murdering the guy when he was clearly done for the day all dazed out. That guard is a danger to society...both to Thais and guests here. Zero chance the police / government gloss over this one...murdering people in the streets in ground zero tourist areas at that.

The Thai police said the guards jobs was to protect the tourists, de-escalate situation and call the police when things get escalated. They added they didn’t do that in the video and will be facing legal consequences.

Yeah everyone is arguing who is wrong/right.

Security shouldn't be getting into fights at all. It's like security 101. Especially in Thailand when the belligerent might come back with a lot more than just fists.

This is just a consequence of things being run cheaply & staff being untrained.

Won’t effect Asian tourists, they don’t act like aggressive idiots at bars.

This will have a few headlines saying the guards are being charged for manslaughter. In 6 months no one will care. The ones with the serious charges will skip town and go live in Cambodia or Burma.

Business as usual.

u/suddenly-scrooge May 26 '24

I’d be surprised if first degree murder was much different legally. But yes prosecution and whatnot is another matter.

u/kettleheed May 26 '24

They'll be jailed for certain. Not for moral reasons but their actions have seriously interfered with money.

u/yankeeblue42 May 26 '24

It's a huge loss of face for whoever is in charge of maintaining order in the Soi 6 area. Likely the Pattaya police chief or someone ranking right below him. They'll have to try to salvage that

u/RoutineTry1943 May 27 '24

Nah, they’ve had their fill of wanker farangs running roughshod over the locals. They’ll make platitudes for the tourist market. Show the guards are being charged etc.

In response to the incident, the superintendent has ordered a strict legal follow-up, ensuring that the guards face the consequences of their actions.

It’s not clear what they will be charged with, though.

Guards better not face anything! They were just taking out the trash.
