When Will The Students Killing and Fighting Stop, Thailand

It is hard for me to not get angry and criticise government ministers or the police at times just to name a few. I have people offer me advice and tell me to be careful what I write at times as I could put people offside and maybe my visa wouldn’t be renewed amongst other things.

I appreciate that people offer me advice and at times I have written things and then changed them to be more politically correct, but sometimes it needs to be told straight forward.

I have written about this problem before on many occasions, being the war that vocational school students wage on each other. These kids make me sick to the stomach and the government and police just piss me off as they seem to sit back and let the endless fighting and sadly senseless deaths continue.

There are over 800 vocational schools across Thailadn but the majority of the problems occur in Bangkok and its surrounding suburbs. These vocational schools offer an opportunity for all the kids that leave school at the age of 16, they can learn a trade and many other opportunities for them exist.

I would say that 95% of all students enrolled in Vocational schools are male and they cause 100% of the trouble. I will just go over a few of their latest senseless fights they have had.

I wrote back on September 2nd about a 9 year old boy killed by the fighting between vocational students, he was innocently on his way to school on a crowded public bus when he was shot.

Then on November 16th, rival students threw a ping-pong bomb onto a crowded bus trying to hurt rivals, it landed in the lap of an innocent 20yo who was a mechanic for Nissan, his girlfriend and soon to be wife were going to the market to buy food. The explosion ripped his stomach open causing his intestines to spill out of his body.

Then on the 21st of January 2011, a fight involving about 50 students, led to the death of two 16 year old vocational students. They were both shot buy gunmen under the age of 18.

This prompted the Education Minister, Mr. Chinnaworn Boonyakiat to close the schools as a week as a punishment and if further problems occur then they could be closed for good. Believe that when I see it.

Then last night as I sat waiting to watch the F.A Cup game between Manchester United and Crawley Town a news bulletin showed footage of a fight between rival students at a 7-11 store. It was disgusting seeing the complete disregard these buffoons showed for innocent bystanders as they went on a rampage through the store.

In all about eight or ten students were involved in the fight, two students are seen with weapons, one looked like it was a large knife or machete and the other a gun. I am trying to find footage taken by the security cameras in the store but no luck yet, but when I do find I will upload here and you can watch the sickening attack.

Two students had no chance, an 18yo was shot dead in the store, and a 16yo was seriously wounded.

They arrested three of the suspects and the 4th they know who he is and when they went to his parents house he had not been home, I hope they get this worthless piece of shit sooner than later.

Again the Education Ministry have ordered the schools closed for a week.

How can these people be so stupid! All this means is there will be lots of these kids wandering about for a week in large numbers. Closing the schools punishes the decent kids who want a trade qualification, and it give the dickheads a week to cause god knows what trouble.

The Office of the Private Education Commission director (Opec), said the ministry has threatened to shut down both schools for an additional week if a row erupts again.

Sorry, but fuck me. This is coming from so called educated and well schooled people. What is closing the school for a week going to do you Neanderthals?

The director from OPEC has ordered schools to increase security and keep a closer eye on students.

Oh come bloody on! This has been going on and on for years, it didn’t just happen overnight.

The mother of the slain boy said, “authorities should do more to tackle the problem of student brawls, as they have already resulted in several deaths.”

See this lady is sensible, it is the responsibility of the authorities, from the government, police, and the education ministries to get serious. They have blood on their hands. They sit back and these killings continue and yet they seem to do nothing.

She also said, "I'm asking to parents to help control their children so they will not cause others sadness,"

Yes, the parents. What are they doing? Now I am not trying to be nasty and sound derogatory but many of these kids are the scum scraped off the floor of the shithouse, they have been terrible at school, left at 16 years of age and just continued on their spiral toward a life that is equating to nothing.

Should parents be held responsible at all?

And then sadly the mother said this, "I believe my son will not be the last victim,"

Again this is sadly true as so many people know this is the case.

The Ministry staff will meet representatives from both institutes tomorrow to discuss measures to avoid a repeat of the incident. They will also call a meeting with six other vocational schools whose students have been involved in brawls.

This is an endless merry-go-round, meetings and was to stop the fighting and so on happen but innocent people are dying. If they were just killing each other I really couldn’t give a shit.

These are my ideas on how to start a clean up of the vocational schools.

The vocational schools have to pay for an elite special force made up of police officers or from the military, this force has unprecedented powers to stop and search any student. They can use whatever force is needed to search or detain a suspect.

The vocational schools students are banned from any for of public transport, special buses must be provided and paid for by these schools. They should be fitted with bullet-proof glass and windows that cannot be opened.

Vocational students are not allowed to wear their uniforms outside of the school grounds; they must wear civilian clothes to and from the school.

Have special sentencing laws for these students, double the penalties for students. If an assault is usually deemed 3 months in jail then make it six and so forth. Bring back chain gangs, hard labour for these fools. Make them work their asses off for the time they are incarcerated.

A mandatory rehabilitation programme back into the community and so forth are just a few of my ideas.

And the biggest, hold the directors, owners of the schools accountable. Make these people who are living rich aware they will have all their assets stripped and they could be jailed unless they make every effort to clean up their schools. This means not enrolling students just because they pay their fees as many schools do in Thailand.

And then the Opec director said “students who commit acts of violence lack a sense of social responsibility.” He believed, “they may be suffering from mental problems and require professional treatment.”

I am going to leave that well alone, but again this is coming from the head of OPEC.
