Guys like that should be removed from this hemisphere or re-educated immediately by any means necessary. And they are re-occurring? Start handing out the fines for disorderly conduct, let him sleep it out in a tiny cell with no fan and 12 wicked inmates on his back.

This s a little different from the usual drunk barang captured on video whilst he is frequenting the seedier streets of Phnom Penh. This is more of a frustrated neighbour issue I think. And in a borey, no less.
As I have said, with no information about the events that led up to the video we see we cannot draw to many conclusions.
It is quite probable that the video show the culmination of a series of interactions with his neighbours over a long period of time that has festered below the surface and what we are witnessing in the video is weeks, or months, of pent up frustration being released.

That being said, it is also possible that the barang has been overly sensitive to the lifestyle here and as the old saying goes, "we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto", may have some bearing on his actions. Maybe all the little things we let wash over us didnt quite wash over him and over time they became more than petty annoyances.

As I was re-reading this before posting a thought occurred to me. These borey developments, do they have anything like a HOA setup where you agree to a certain set of rules when you buy a house there. eg. no loud music/parties after a certain time, dogs barking, etc. You know general things that are put into writing so you can have a nice respectful neighbourhood where people are considerate of others.

It's already been pointed out that it was the Barang who has been making all the noise and disturbing the neighborhood with his loud arguments.

Ah-ha. I must have missed this.

This *missing* info puts a whole new light on the video and my previous post.

But the regularly occurring loud argument with his girlfriend wasn’t recorded, only the interaction once the brown shirts had arrived- for what? Better viewing figures? I’m guessing the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Those are not police, they are just borey security guards.
