Man in Lexus RX330 Hits Journalist Then Gets Attacked by Mob

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Why?

This guy got what he deserved, but it would have been better to key the car as well.

Why Vlad, because he owns a car? The guy is an idiot for sure and likely did something stupid. Was he speeding? Was he under the influence? Texting? Did he overtake/do a bad manoeuvre? Did someone cut him off, forcing him off the road? Doesn't really matter, knowing local driving habits, I agree he's probably at the very least partly responsible for the crash, but it's good to know you don't mind journos at all. I'll be sure to call ABC, Kohsanteapheap and so forth when you've slid and crashed your XR and are lying in agony with a broken arm and clavicle on the ground. Surely you'll be happy to be photographed up close by a small hoard of professional journalists and their photographers.

The guy didn't hit/hurt anyone in the crash, so I don't see what the big deal is (besides maybe him most likely being a total idiot/incompetent driver). I personally know I'd get annoyed in such a situation if a journalist got all up close and personal as I was calling for a tow truck. And knowing you and your hot temperament, I bet you'd go even more berserk than me or anyone else on this board, calling him a monkey/animal with no decency, and throwing bricks at him or something.

Wow, you're happy today, aren't you?

You should try some logic/stop listening to schmucks who try and deflect criticism by labelling people. Because he owns a car? You idiot. Really in unpleasant mode this morning, aren't we?

As far as I know, nobody was 'lying in agony with 'a broken arm and clavicle'. Where did you read that? So a guy, possibly drunk, prangs his car, he's not injured, and he's incensed because people take pictures? That's what people do.

But, lesson learned on hot tempers, I'll follow your example next time and just punch them. Sounds reasonable.

Seriously, this does not sound like you. wtf is going on?

Hope he didn't violate copyright, the cops are all over that at the moment.

Had a Chinese guy move to bully me out of the lane last night, I would have had to swerve sharply or he'd have intentionally hit me. His night obviously changed when he saw a westerner driving the tuktuk. Instead of moving I locked it up and sounded the (truck) horn continuously while pointing at him. He blushed and immediately hid behind his phone. Coincidentally I then happened to be alongside him at the next three set of lights. Man, that phone was fascinating.

You're just angry because he owns a car.

It's also the reason Britain declared war on Germany, they envied Hitler's car.

This was reported awhile back
It has always been like that, and they not only targeting high ranking officials. There are no journalists in Cambodia, only this:
