The blog’s disclaimer on the bottom right explicitly warns “not that we’re politically correct, heaven forbid” …

It would have been the last of my intentions to make fun of this poor chap. I was making fun of somebody else.

Even though satire is none of my god-given gifts I do not shy away from sarcasm and cynicism.

But indeed, the last thing I am is humorous.

Assuming readers are well aware of this and can stand some basic heat, stay tuned -

Both expressed sympathy for the man, maybe you should read Not The Nation more often. I don’t get your point Stefan.

How many of your readers have seen the inside of a Thai jail? I would say a burnt-out bus stop on Thonglor is paradise by comparison. These kind of comments remind me of the volumes of cruel tasteless flippant comments on the BKK Post's recent story about the man who was decapitated. Bangkok really does attract the worst slime expatriates, jeering and sniggering at others misfortune, using others' bad luck stories to make themselves feel better, or even if it's just something to write about to fill empty blog space. This town and its farangs sure turned me into a misanthropist. Instead of glib knee-jerk flippancy, where is the compassion? How many of your readers have seen the inside of a Thai jail?

Behind bars Herr Becker finally gets his daily food and a roof over his head.

So I guess, Herr Becker was not a terrorist linked to Al Qaeda (you never know nowadays, the world is so twisted ...). ;-) And it's good to see the Finest always on the edge, ready to serve the people and the security of the public. Can you imagine? We have avoided the worst ... Herr Becker (a farang!) could have burned every phone booth in Bangkok. That's serious violence. Anyway ... back to reality: I have compassionate thoughts for this poor chap. Indeed, we didn’t see anything on CNN.
