American expat AARON DENNIS ADAIR goes postal in Kampot, Cambodia

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I really don't think that naming and shaming the guy is a big deal here if it gives a heads up to other businesses in Kampot or elsewhere.
:evil:

This guy is not good and not ok, gives expats a bad name, so why not out him to help prevent other incidents like this one ?
His name is AARON ADAIR (AARON DENNIS ADAIR) and goes by AARON SOLOMON as well.

Graduated from Shasta College in California.

Taught English in Cambodia.

At least for two days, until he quit.

Image

And women definitely don't get a creepy vibe from him and run off in the middle of dates.

Image

We also have about 3 hours of video footage of him on what appears like a meth bender, but never got around to getting it up yet.

I can't count how many times that's happened to me in the years I've been here. Nonetheless, I've never thrown their inventory on the ground, as tempting as it might have been.
its possible the khmers didnt like the fact that he was shirtless. i have had this experience once or twice. i stopped put on a tanktop then continued to talk with them and they gave me the stuff.

General Mac, your detective skills are 2nd to none. There is currently a good opportunity for someone with your skill set. Have you thought about diversifying? :ROFL:

The reason we can't understand what brought the rant on and why wouldn't a shopkeeper want to sell him some stuff is probably down to his past actions and behavior.

Normal people go to a vendor, buy something, smile, pay nicely and are generally pleasant in their demeanor.
BUT
Act like an arrogant twat and yeah eventually people are gonna get pissed off.. they would rather pass on the sale.... "thanks, but no thanks"

Just my guess as to what led to the melt-down.

Edit to add;
I must confess that I hadn't actually watched the video when I posted.. I just flicked through the comments to get a general idea of what happened.
Having now watched the video my above observation is almost certainly true.
It's not that clear but at the start when he has just been told that they don't have any "water" he clearly says "'cos I'm white?"

No ... it's not 'cos you're white... It's 'cos you're an arrogant twat with a chip the size of Greenland on your shoulder.

Too many crazy Americans here. I just read at the PP Post a new immigration bill is in the works, if you read between the lines, some feel there are too many foreigners in Cambodia, 140,000. Could Cambodia go the way of Thailand??

Incidents like this erode respect. This is especially true with less sophisticated minds where generalizing or lumping together foreigners (as a people of a certain origin, heritage or nationality sharing a particular trait) is often the norm. For example, this one Chinese guy parked wrongly at Aeon and my friend saw it and quickly commented ជនជាតិចិនអូនអត់ល្ (choncheat chen ort laor = Chinese people not good). This makes them show resentment, hesitance and suspicion towards all persons of the same origin, even if they've just met that person for the first time, thus the habitually posed first question (តើ​អ្នក​មកពីណា = where are you from).

This is prominent in the way comments are written:

Image

"they"... "we", a clear differentiating of them as a whole and we as a whole.

Luckily this notoriety is not one seen and reported daily.

It's certainly something which needs to be addressed in terms of anger management, just like this video captured in HK:
