A Man In a 570 Lexus Shot a Scavenger For Blocking His Way

Phnom Penh: According to Koh Santepheap Daily News, a Cambodian scavenger was shot by a man in 570 Lexus and was left seriously injured by the roadside. He was shot around 1:36 AM on 15 December 2015 on street 105 corner of 432 in Toul Tompong I commune, Chamkarmon district.

The victim named Van Sophea, 36 years old, scavenger and his wife named Sok Pean, 34 years old.

According to witnesses, before the shooting happened, there was a man searching and picking up plastic bottles and empty cans along street 105 and while he was picking it up, there was a Lexus 570 on the way in the direction from North to South. Then, when the car reached where the man was picking the empty cans and other stuff, the man in the car took his gun and started firing the gun at the man which left him seriously injured by the side of the road and the man drove off. He was mad with the victim for putting stuff on the road to block his way or make the space of the road smaller which made it hard for him to drive by. Later the victim was brought to Khmer-Soviet hospital for emergency assistance.

I just read about a woman in the UK getting beaten up by a passing cyclist for walking a dog without a lead. Who are these people who are so filled with rage that the slightest thing sets them off?
Scarier than malaria.

G damned.poor people trying to.scratch out a living are giving Cambodia a bad name. Why don't they practice corruption and raise their moral stamdards.

How dare that peasant block a Lexus drivers passage!

But seriously these nutters driving around in "I'm so high society, get outa my way fashion" are one of the shames that Cambodia will never dare challenge! Another tick in the box for the against staying here for me!

Scambodia = fucked. Totally. Utterly. By it sown people. Self-destructive,selfish, self-aggrandizing, inconsiderate, amoral, unethical.

Glad I will never live there.

The driver sounds like a dick, but a whole lot of those hay jis are dodgy cunts too. A lot of them are meth heads and thieves.

Mr Bingham, are you in any way implying that it was ok or no big deal to shoot this guy. If not, what is the point of your post/
