18Yo Whacked to Death by Another Teen for Disrespect
Cambodia News (Banteay Meanchey): On June 4, 2020, an 18-year-old boy, Chan Sereyvathana, was arrested for attacking another teenager to death with a bamboo stick in Phnom Chuncheang village, Preah Nethpreah district, Banteay Meanchey. The victim who was killed was identified as Sok Nathan, an 18-year-old boy.
The suspect and his three friends named Hok Veasna, 22 years old, Keo Chang, 20 years old, and Suy Limhang, 21 years old, were drinking beer at the scene when another group of young men drove by on their motorbike and acted rudely to them.
So then, the suspect and his friend got on their motorbike to chase the other group with a bamboo pole. They rode up to the victim and beat him about the head, causing him to die instantly.

Damned short fuses out in the provinces. Ridiculous levels of revenge.
Is there a solution to the mentality of some of these people.

I think there's a Khmer term for disproportionate vengeance or revenge.......something like "kome" or "kum"Username Taken wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 3:51 pm Ridiculous levels of revenge.

I think this mindset pervades most of the culture here.
Individuals are given great allowances for behavior and actions here. More so than in the West.
In Western cultures, more or less, if you transgress a cultural norm, more often than not, you're going to hear about it from someone right away.
Displeasure gets vented and people go their separate ways after.
While in Cambodia, we see them as smiling and easy going, but in reality when someone does something shitty, they'll smile and just swallow the resentment.......until that resentment builds up and it reaches that unknown tipping point..........and then shit goes from 0 to 100.
Just my thoughts on it.......beware the smile, ha ha.

Well, that's how to fuck 2 lives up double fast, both the deceased and the perp. Back of the head is a danger spot.
To be fair, Cambodia is safer than most western countries that I have spent time in.
I think it's reasonable to say that this little "Steav" with his neck tats out in the boonies isn't representing even 1% of the population.

We (too) often forget that booze is the worst drug of all. Cheap and available everywhere.

Just out of curiosity, would anyone know the expected penalty this little shit might expect to receive? Any lenience for being 18 years of age? Wouldn't expect he has enough $ to escape punishment.

Somewhere between 10 and 25 years. Depending on who his mom/dad/cousin/brother etc is, or size of familial kitty.

A Head for an Eye: Revenge in the Cambodian Genocide
https://www.academia.edu/5661563/A_Head ... n_GenocideTo outsiders, and often to ourselves, Cambodia looked peaceful enough. The farmers bound to their planting cycles. Fisherman living on their boats....The wide boulevards and the flowering trees of ournational capital, Phnom Penh. All that beauty and serenity was visible to the eye. But inside, hidden fromsight the entire time, was kum. Kum is a Cambodian word for a particularly Cambodian mentality of revenge—to be precise, a long-standing grudge leading to revenge much more damaging than the original injury.If I hit you with my fist and you wait five years and then shoot me in the back one dark night, that is kum...Cambodians know all about kum. It is the infection that grows on our national soul.
—Haing Ngor,
A Cambodian Odyssey
Silence, exile, and cunning.
