reader Posted February 10 Posted February 10 From The Nation Police have intervened after a video clip showing one LGBTQ+ university student assaulting another went viral, sparking a large protest outside the assailant’s condominium in Pathum Thani province, near Bangkok. The senior student, Peem, is accused of throwing hot soup over his junior, Andrew, multiple times at a restaurant, causing burns to his arm, neck and back. The incident, which was caught on camera last Thursday, escalated when Peem threatened Andrew with a pair of scissors and demanded 50,000 baht. After the video clip was shared on social media, a large group of LGBTQ+ students gathered outside Peem's condominium, demanding an apology. However, Peem was nowhere to be seen. Police intervened on Sunday, arresting Peem and his friend Oshi on charges of assault, extortion, and violating personal freedoms. The suspects were taken to Khlong Luang Police Station for questioning. Reporters waiting outside asked Preem if he was sorry for the attack, but he remained silent. Andrew’s mother, who was also present, screamed at the suspects but received no response. Police opposed bail release for Peem and Oshi, who will appear before Thanyaburi Provincial Court for detention approval. Andrew shared his account of the feud with police earlier on Sunday. He stated while he had no direct conflict with Peem, the senior had previously attempted to break into one of his friend's rooms, but the friend had locked himself inside. Later, Peem spotted Andrew dining nearby and went berserk, throwing soup and attempting to grab a knife from the kitchen. Restaurant staff intervened before the situation escalated. https://www.nationthailand.com/blogs/news/general/40046108 khaolakguy and Ruthrieston 1 1 Quote

reader Posted February 11 Author Posted February 11 From Bangkok Post Bangkok University has expelled two students who were seen assaulting a younger student in a video clip that went viral on social media last week. The clip, which showed the two students pouring hot soup on another student at a noodle shop in Pathum Thani's Khlong Luang district, sparked a protest by about a hundred people near Bangkok University's Rangsit campus on Saturday evening. They demanded that the students responsible apologise to the victim and urged the university to take urgent action to address the incident, which took place on Thursday. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2958250/university-expels-duo-over-soup-attack#google_vignette vinapu 1 Quote
Foolish Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Why is it necessary to mention that it is a LGBTQ student? It seems to be an attempt to paint a negative picture of the LGBTQ community.. Patanawet 1 Quote

You are lucky that they did not use the FULL ever growing acronym = LGBTQQIP2SAA At the rate that they are expanding the original acronym that I remember of: LGB when I had my coming out in the early 1980s, it was very controversial back then to add "B" for bisex to the pre-existing LG acronym. There was a feeling that by adding the "B" category that it would dilute our purpose to obtain rights for us Lesbians and Gays. I fear that the 26 letters of our alphabet won't suffice all of the groups that they keep adding to the acronym. Quote
thaiophilus Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Back in 1990 it was LGBO*, and that was probably tongue in cheek: "O for Others, * for anyone who still feels left out". Quote
reader Posted February 12 Author Posted February 12 From Bangkok Post Six more students were arrested on Tuesday in connection with an assault on another Bangkok University student who suffered painful injuries after having hot soup poured on him. The two main perpetrators of the assault, which was captured in a video that has since gone viral, were arrested on Sunday by Khlong Luang district police in Pathum Thani. Rasipa “Preem” Satchawan, 22, and Chakatpol “Oshi” Wachirawan, 19, face charges of extortion and assault causing physical and psychological harm. The duo reportedly told their victim that if he wanted them to stop hurting him, he should give them money. The latest group — three men and three women — have been arrested on charges of extortion. All eight suspects have been remanded at the Thanyaburi Provincial Court. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2959010/more-arrests-made-in-soup-attack?utm_campaign=Article&utm_source=article_suggestion_thailand&utm_medium=reccommended&utm_content=suggestion-article vinapu and splinter1949 2 Quote
