A Cambodian Lad Chains Up for Stealing a Chicken

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.

BTW, I'm sitting here with my missus and her 14 y/o nephew and they are both horrified at this and it was at their suggestion that I posted this response.
He's not starving. Just a scumbag jao.

I reckon it's a better punishment than beating him to near death and then him getting locked in prey sar for 3 years, don't you agree?
Loaded question that. However, in answer - do I think its better then being beaten near to death or ending up in the slot - YES. Do I think it was a fair punishment that fits the crime - FUCK NO.
A few of questions in return.
Do you know the circumstances of this crime? Do you know that this kid wasn't starving? Do you know that he is just a meth head jao? Why has the locals opinion swung to favour this kid? Do you know more about this situation then the locals who are supporting him? Do you have any sense of humanity in you at all?
He's not starving, look at the photo.

Circumstances? He was caught in the guys house. Bet you would be a warm cuddly mass of humanity if you found some scumbag Jao on your property??

You are the one to mention meth, don't know why. . .

I think if there's a lesson to be taken from the plight of our poor chicken seller here it is that we should beat the Jao to within an inch of their life and have them locked up, rather than embarrass the poor Jao.
