I and 2 friends who live on the same street as the bar are the only westerners i have ever seen in there.i have seen the guy walking around here but never seen him in that bar.it only reopened at the weekend.no one in the bar speaks a word of english. Its on a back street out the way.and only ever has a few customers.

Sounds like a fun place. Hostesses?

He often goes off air for a month or so these days.
I doubt if his superiors would have been upset with his posting here.
He is always a fierce champion of the cops, military and Gov - and never a peep about $$$ being earned on the side.
He is as one sided in his praise for his football team (the blokes in uniform) as the most fiercely one-eyed footy fan.

Despite being philosophically opposite in every way - there are a few things i really like about him, and admire.
He is no snowflake. Nor a hater.
Unlike nearly all of the rightists i have duelled with on these pages, he doesn't hold a grudge. He even gives rep points to an ideological opposite on the occasions he does agree. Very few of his political ilk have the strength of character to do that.
And that says so much about this bloke to me.
Gutsy, independent, doesn't give a flying flock, more interested in the person than the politics - despite his own fiecely held opinions.

And no matter how stupid this action was - at least he had the guts to actually do what all the other cowboy gun nuts only boast about when propped up against the bar.
I reckon he will survive this.

I would suggest that pulling out a gun to intimidate a Khmer barmaid or bartender over an $8 bar tab is neither admirable nor "gutsy."

If that's what happened.

I can't wait for the defence to open.

Thorny issues to overcome: Punching owner; returning with a gun; brandishing the gun; resisting arrest (see below*)

* This is not a good sign...

I did ask "Is it fake news", I still wonder on the outcome.

i thought he said he always carried one
anyway, good luck, though i think he has a get-out-jail card anyway

The man has reached out to others struggling or in need many many times. Good hearted and positive Mojo all the way around on this forum . God knows details with local reporting skills said incident... Maybe he stops for nightcap and different staff, location, ect. A place where he's not regular... Payment issue ( left money at home) and goes home grabs cash, regrets chaos before, whatever. Probably surprised the sheet out of owner/staff first white guy ever Came Back to pay the bill. Gets heated cuz they mad at him and scuffle and they see gun (he usually has anyways? )... Or things get weird and he pulls it out in self defense.... No way I believe article as written like he a stone cold criminal. I predict hell update the forum eventually.... He went back to pay speaks volumes about the whole incident even if he (might have? ) got a little owly before. Godspeed to a good man

Your his lawyer? Going back to the place of whatever incident with a gun pointing it at people is a major crime - at least in my book.
