MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh
Re: MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh
I've taken the option to keep my counsel, and I don't even know him, aside from on CEO. But I don't think it's a lack of class. Let's be honest, there hasn't been a great deal to discuss that isn't COVID-related recently, so Mark has been a subject of much merriment and dare-I-say, dark humour. He certainly could hold his own, and I am fairly sure that he actually might find most of what's been said quite humorous. He's no shrinking violet, and will (no pun intended) give both barrels as and when he returns. (EDIT: I'm quite looking forward to that moment!!)Foreigner wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 2:12 amThere's a visible lack of class on this thread.John Bingham wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 12:56 am It's the rampant Tuberculosis which is more of an issue.

It seems that the guy in question split opinion on here.
There may be some for all I know who didn't like him but have shown some dignity and decency and kept their counsel, rather than rubbing it in while the man is at his lowest. There are several who seem incapable of any such circumspection, notwithstanding that they know there are others on here reading who like the guy.
Very poor form indeed imo.
To quote JB and infer a lack of class isn't particularly nice. He's one of the longest serving expats in Cambodia, and widely regarded as a fountain of useful and useless knowledge, depending on whether you ask him nicely or not

Is he definitely locked up 24/7 in Prey Sar until trial date? Does anyone know for certain, and no one has had any contact with him.
It could be more possible that with the photos he once posted, he could be under house arrest too continue with his work schedule.

Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh
I don't know the guy from CEO or elsewhere (have no idea what his username was and it very likely would mean nothing to me even if I did) ! But even as an outsider, I can usually spot the difference between banterish dark humour, and spiteful retribution. Perhaps I got it wrong in this particular case (perhaps), but there's clearly instances on this thread where dark humour and camaraderie isn't the name of the game. It's none of my business, and for all I know the guy could be a complete asshole, but that's my observation, as a neutral if you like; maybe some could show a little more empathy in the circumstances. Appreciate your constructive response all the same and will try to take heed of some of your points.Yerg wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 3:24 amI've taken the option to keep my counsel, and I don't even know him, aside from on CEO.

Re: MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh
It's easy to kick a man when he's down, and also without the ability to reply and defend himself, it can read quite spiteful. I think, in the main, it hasn't been meant that way. There are some posters who enjoy the travails of others, and enjoy nothing more than revelling in their downfall. Notwithstanding all the excuses and all the guff, if he did what he did, then he is enjoying the rewards that he is currently "enjoying". (He could blow and bluster on here amongst the best of them.)Foreigner wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 3:51 amI don't know the guy from CEO or elsewhere (have no idea what his username was and it very likely would mean nothing to me even if I did) !

His purported connections and liaisons aren't serving him so well right now, but in the fullness of time, we will all learn the truth.

Not any further. Just trimmed 7 pages of dick waving, "My gun's bigger than your pocket knife" off topic trolling bollocks.
Let's try to keep on topic now, else we might have to lock the thread until his day in court.

i merely pointed out that the thread was way off with gun rights, 2 amendment, knives and carrying voiced by pro trump supporters was crazy
like i said that was cut
he fucked up carrying a gun an threatening people, now he needs pay for his stupid action
I have zero sympathy for him, dont care who is was, or is
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh

Re: MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh
I got the sense he possessed certain delusions of grandeur in regard to his place in the murkier waters of Cambodia. And if he did indeed pull a gun on somebody over a ten dollar bar tab, the man is insane!
Re: MARK ASPINALL Arrested after Pulling Out Gun over Drink Bill in Phnom Penh
Without doubt.
How so? I doubt the courts will take public humiliation on an internet forum into account.
