So voicing my disgust at this killer (because that’s what he is) is classed as virtue signaling?
And drinking and driving is OK because all expats do it, and it’s just bad luck if they kill somebody? Nice!

The part that I thought came off a bit 'virtue signalingish' is the fact you came on here ranting and raving that nobody had said they wanted to cut his balls off and instead discussed something else about the story. Nobody had said anything positive about him or defended him or his actions in any way when you posted that, so yes, it did come off that way a bit.

atst can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe his point was “if he’d been Chinese he’d have been hung, drawn and quartered” (figuratively speaking) by CEO posters.
The lack of condemnation of a DUI killer on this forum is disconcerting, does he get a pass “because he’s one of us”?

100% correct that was what I was referring to.
As doc noted if Chinese would be out by now ( a sad reflection of Cambodian law) well perhaps this drunk hasn't got deep pockets so he will have to face the music and so he should, he'll get no sympathy from me.

I got told by some1 that knows him that he paid up 3k immediatly but more was needed and i believe he didnt have more

We all know the consequences of drink driving anywhere not only in Cambodia, but here there is probably less chance if any of being breathalysed by the police for such, that is until after the accident has happened. But drink driving is a crime here in itself. Don't do it because it could turn out like this unfortunately, or what of the Chinese way recently of altercations'

Chinese national shot dead in Sihanoukville car slaying

minor traffic accident resulted in a fight during which one of the drivers pulled a gun and shot the victim five times.

Especially the poor unfortunate people he has apparently killed of course

Yes I think we can all agree that he was less cordial with them?

The sad reality is there aren't many countries you've spent any length of time where there hasn't been someone you know who has died or been in a bad accident through alcohol affected driving. I think Tony Jones (Charlie Harpers) was the last in Cambodia for me, Dutch Peter in Indonesia, Psycho Tom in Nepal....they being just a few of an ever-increasing list.

I remember coming around a bend in Sanur, Bali, a few years ago in the wet when turning right I nearly got cleaned up - it gave me a bit of the shakes. Fuck that - no more.

It seems likely that there is more to the incident than a mere accident.

It was probably always on the cards for Psycho Tom in Nepal though?

I remember in the eighties in Goa steaming up Badam Hill to watch the sunrise on my Rajdoot after a full moon party,at Jungle Palace I think a clearing in the jungle so we were all high on free acid punch!
I got to the corner and the picture of it in my mind's eye looked nothing like the reality,of huge rocks right in front of me so I bailed off and the bike carried on solo!
It ended up wedged so hard between the big rocks it stood up on its own and me and my mate looked all over it to try to find the damage for what seemed like forever?
Eventually he started laughing his head off and pointing at the front wheel which had a massive v-shaped dent in it,so we headed off to Mapusa market to get it bodged and welded for ten ruups as you do?
I just remember gingerley riding into the capital with the bike rising and falling beneath me with the damage, squeaking along with the little kids coming out of their houses at the side of the road to point at us and shout "Hippeee" as loud as possible!
Needless to say the Rajdoot owner instantly spotted the humongous bodge job and went nuts about it, until it was agreed that a new wheel would be bought and paid for by me and it was all good!
