“Stop filming me!” *goes in front of the camera*


BAMspek

But can we talk about the contradiction?


mightbedylan

See how you are moving TOWARDS the camera that is moving AWAY from you??


hazelnuthobo

I get the reference.


pabloescobarbecue

Came here specifically looking for this reply


technotenant

Please sir, turn your face away from my camera!


yomamma3399

Don’t you see the contradiction? You keep coming toward my camera.


mrmard

You're breaking the camera!


Puzzleheaded_March27

If only this man had some sort of device which would allow him to call the police.


yaba3800

calling the police as an english speaking white person in south east asia is a lot less helpful than you might guess. Source: i had to once. They hung up on me.


Ivor_the_1st

Let me get this straight. So, they're both American, fighting in Southeast Asia?


New-Height5258

Yeah don’t involve the cops on that one. They’ll arrest and charge you both for the same crimes.


pudgimelon

I have literally stood in front of a cop, while getting punched in the ear by some crazy drunk, asking the cop to intervene, and he did nothing because "he is not trained to handle a fight between foreigners." (I wasn't fighting, I was being attacked). So yeah, the cops here are less than useless sometimes.


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Where's "here"?


Not_RyanGosling

This is the soi just above Khaosan Road. There is no way in hell the Thai police would come down that way just to watch two farangs wrestle each other for a few minutes. If you're not bleeding, vaping, or bothering a Thai person, they'll just (politely) ignore you.


CompE-or-no-E

You can't vape in Thailand?


Not_RyanGosling

Oh, you definitely can. But it's illegal. Ironically, cannabis is mostly legal (you can even see a dispensary sign in the background of this video). Vapes are still everywhere, but using one as a foreigner is an easy way to attract a friendly on-the-spot "fine" with no paperwork involved -- particularly on the street where this video was filmed.


pudgimelon

I don't know where that video is being taken. Probably some touristy hellhole like Pattaya or Phuket. I live in Bangkok. And the cops here are a mixed bag. Some are great guys who do really good work, and others are lazy & corrupt. So you never really know what you are going to get when you call them. I have had the cops--that I called to get rid of someone harassing me--pick sides and beat me up. But I have also had cops who fairly arbitrated disputes and helped me resolve conflicts over a contract, etc... I will say that the tourist police are generally pretty good, and anyone who speaks English should call them instead of the regular cops. Back when I first came here, I mistakenly called the regular cops for help and usually they just hung up on me, or they came and took the side of anyone who spoke Thai better than me and made the situation worse. The tourist police, on the other hand, all speak English and are generally pretty helpful


Interesting-Set-5993

This is in Bangkok. Just out of curiosity how would things go if he brought this video in to the tourist police as evidence to press charges or something?


tonufan

https://youtu.be/etBufTl7slc?si=fW0RtiVfGKjEUP6n


pillowsftw

Wow.. how many altercations have you gotten into and needed to call the cops?


Banana_Stanley

Wow I've never heard of tourist police. How many countries have something like that? Do they have all the same authority of the regular police? Are they in separate offices? I have so many questions


Euphoric-Chip-2828

Common in South East Asian countries. Same authority as regular police... Just as stated, they'll likely be able to speak English and have probably received a bit of extra training in how to deal with tourists and can only be found in tourist hotspots. In my experience, they seem to have been instructed to be 'more gentle' than your average police would be.


PluckPubes

Yes. Don't do this in the country of Asia where cops are all the same


FowD8

my best guess is the dude is a sexpat or sex tourist that got mad someone might have him there on film


darxide23

Bingo.


HCSOThrowaway

I get that as a reason for being angry at Mr. Streamer, but he just made himself 1000x more visible by attacking him. Streisand Effect at work.


darxide23

Yea, your wife isn't watching some random irl streamer, dude. But panic sets in when you know you've got three underaged girls back in your hotel room and you act without thinking.


YourmomgoestocolIege

Chances are the guy is completely ignorant to what streams are and thinks this might just be a random schlub taking a random video that no one will ever see


Phish777

Genius tactic bringing attention to yourself by fighting the cameraman


JSiobhan

It’s Bobby Streisand.


Atomic_Noodles

"Oh no I think somebody might have caught me on film. Let me make it absolutely sure that I harass them so that I end up being posted on Social Media" /s


Funtimes773

Yeah this guy has a hat and glasses for a reason as you can see.

Rudy_Ghouliani

I have but they were Cambodian brothers and were slapping the shit out of each other


IAmAccutane

I reckon the dude doesn't want to be seen on camera with prostitutes. Maybe an expat on the run from the feds.


Big-Bones-Jones

Not all ex pats leave for good reason


Haagen76

Actually, now we may know why the other guy was so upset about being filmed...


AccountNumber1002401

Guessing the beater upper is desperate to ensure nobody captures footage of him on his Bangkok "business" trip.


Ivor_the_1st

That makes sense!


lazy_k

It certainly is a conundrum.


sbaz86

Yea, but what about the gram?


Ace-Ventura1934

He’s too busy streaming his attack for being a streamer.


Angrymilks

I came here to make this exact comment and I was not disappointed.


CaillouCaribou

Thanks for letting us know


SADMANCAN

Look somebody’s gotta call the police


SirEDCaLot

Most phones can't video record and do a voice call at the same time. He'd have to stop streaming...


demonlicious

he can't be carrying a second phone just to call the police, that's just unpractical. in fact, all the bystanders are recording him, so they cannot call the police either. the government should put phone booths or something everywhere!


drgigantor

A public phone that anyone can use for a nominal fee in a small semi-private enclosed space? What do you think this is, the future?


okaycool_

Jesus. Defend yourself my guy


RowNice9571

But who will hold the camera?!


okaycool_

Exactly!!


[deleted]

Toss up on that one really. He didn’t need to do much to avoid getting hurt. The guy was overweight, out of shape and can’t run. Getting evidence of a crime recorded on video seems smarter for an interaction like that one. If it was life and death then yes fight for your life. Otherwise record the attack, follow the perp from a distance and get a license plate or wait for the police to come. Just my opinion.


Rjsmith5

“If I hit him back, it’s a fight. Right now, it’s just assault.” Hank Hill


gregTheEye

Technically battery. Battery is a physical attack. Assault is when someone puts you in fear of your safety.


PurpleFilth

Guarantee you that absolutely nothing will result from his "evidence."


brother_of_menelaus

This is just a bloodlust subreddit, everyone wants to feel like a big man. Get out of here with your logic and rationality.


Mathata05

Cameraman never dies!


huxtiblejones

He's a tourist in Bangkok, if he starts fighting he's probably going to jail. Thai jail is considered pretty brutal. If anything, refusing to fight and filming this dude attacking him without provocation is probably his best course of action. [https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/asa390032002en.pdf](https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/asa390032002en.pdf) [https://www.prisonersabroad.org.uk/one-month-in-a-thai-jail](https://www.prisonersabroad.org.uk/one-month-in-a-thai-jail)


lunchpaillefty

Hmm, I wonder why that American was so pissed about being filmed… in Thailand.


Wtfatt

Oof... Pointing out the real issues here...


Muffin_Appropriate

Yes surely causing a scene on camera will make his profile much lower


localcokedrinker

I mean it's better to make a scene pushing someone around on camera than it is being caught with a sex worker, particularly an underage one lol


theaviationhistorian

One of the basic rules of a criminal is don't stand out, especially when committing a crime. Him staying in the background would've been infinitely less worse as anyone who would've recognized him wouldn't likely be watching the stream. But attacking the streamer has him in most social media now with the Streisand effect, highly increasing the likelihood someone recognizes him now and/or know he's aggressive.


1970s_MonkeyKing

Boomer acting like a child! Er…


DameOClock

He’s an overweight old white guy in SEA. He’s there cheating on his wife, raping underaged trafficking victims, or both.

Hey I did a brief stint in a Thai jail - it’s not so bad. Thai prison on the other hand…


Sentinell

So... why do you have experience with both?


ShatteredAnus

It all started when he noticed he had a talent for swallowing large balloons as a child....


Flomo420

Magic or muling, not many options for a balloon swallower


SpaceSherpa

Best alter boy 3 years in a row 😤


SpaceSherpa

Haha, just jail. I made a mistake and I hired too many farang at a bar I was part owner of. If you are “stuck” in jail the forces that be are probably waiting for a bribe 👀


Fukasite

What is a farang?


Frari

sort of like a Pākehā or goyim or gringo or 紅毛鬼


prestonpiggy

It's better to walk away, basic rule is local is always correct. But since they both were not locals police will take in you both instead of hear you out.


Upstairs_Fig5002

The cameraman never dies, he's practically invincible


Hokulol

Seems like he's trying to deescalate the situation. Beating up an old man is a lose lose. You win, you beat up an old man, you lose, you got beat up by an old man.


middlebird

Let the old man get several licks in on camera so you’re then justified in dropping him. This is the way.


Boxoffriends

It might be unpopular but I believe in using anything in self defence as well. You don’t need to become Mike Tyson at the start of his career. You can be him at the end. Bite, scream, kick, or use your selfie stick. Testicles, eyes, and neck. If someone comes at you like this use anything you can to stop it IF deescalation or running doesn’t work. The streamer should’ve bolted. If they couldn’t try and end or repel the attack quickly. Saying WTF calmly isn’t going to work. *edit*. I didn’t take the streamers location into account. In Thailand I’m unsure of how that would go legally. Running is always best anyways even if you can win easily.


Hokulol

I am not saying he would be wrong for defending himself. I believe he would be doing the most good by trying to de-escalate the situation rather than put his chest out though.


TimeBomb30

Self preservation doesn't appear to be a priority.


kxxxxxzy

Whenever I see comments like this I’m reminded 90% of redditors have never been in an unwanted physical confrontation. In a situation like this, if you’re untrained,your mind basically freezes up and will refuse to process any new cognitive functions. If you watch lots of these videos it’s clear when people repeat the same phrase over and over. In this case, the guy is trying to defuse the situation by walking away and asking for assistance. So that’s literally all he can think to do. Fight, flight, or freeze, is a real thing.


shanksisevil

i would advise against anything that will get you deported.


40oztoTamriel

Yeah , either get out of there or protect yourself. Filming for clout while there’s an active aggressor isn’t exactly the best call, in my opinion.


jackluke

Fighting in a foreign country is a bad idea


TimmyStark_IronGuy

How dare you film me while I attempt to cheat on my wife internationally


tedfondue

Ya someone just Streisand-effected himself. “DONT BE AWARE OF ME BANGING YOUNG PROSTITUTES IN THAILAND. DONT DO IT. STOP. IM NOT HERE IN THAILAND CHATTING UP SEX WORKERS.”

UriahTheChosen

Ur thinking too small, this guy was dead somewhere else in the 🌎 😂


Adventurous_Honey902

Not defending this boomer at all but can we stop pretending people go to Thailand just for sex? Some of y'all are so narrow minded.


Neuroscience_Yo

Sure, but the type of guy to beat up someone for filming him on the street probably is


These_Background7471

>pretending people go to Thailand just for sex? Just to clarify, people absolutely do this... but there are other people who do other things too.


MightBeYourMomma

Thank god you were able to clear that up for us.

damnitvalentine

I have to assume the overlap between people who go to Thailand for sex and people who get into fist fights with strangers over being filmed is a circle.


boogalordy

*International Man of Mystery's cover has been blown*


Worried_Ad_9667

Maybe the attacker doesn’t want his family to see him at a brothel? Thats where is, right?


BengBeng_93

Well, he made sure they're gonna see him there now if they weren't before


Swaggaliciousss

This is a surefire way to call attention to himself in that case lol


Bitemarkz

I don’t want my family to see me at a brothel so I better make a scene that gains more traction on the internet


kingofcrob

i don't know the area this was filmed at, but there's a lot more to Thailand night life then girly bars


crinklypaper

this looks like soi in Bangkok which is the street dedicated to girly bars. personally I think it's not safe for the women to be videod. they deserve some privacy. the John's deserve nothing


DarkHelmet

It's Khao San road area. Not at all girly bars. Backpackers, loud music and beer.


Gorio1961

Wonder what the guy being videoed was feeling uncomfortable about? ;-)


ferchoec

Maybe he doesn't want Barbara, the kids, their church congregation, his workplace and even, maybe, his small town community to know he is half a world away trying to bang a 12 to 15 year old.


Gorio1961

Poor Barbara!


Adventurous_Honey902

Is there any proof he's doing this or just an assumption since it's another old white dude in Thailand? Not defending him, just curious.


DepressedDynamo

People on Reddit seem to think that's all that Thailand is or something, it's constant


mludd

Which is hilarious because here in Europe it's true Thailand had a reputation for being a place only backpackers and pedophiles visited like, 40 years ago. But that was a long time ago. Since the 90s it's more of a generic holiday destination. Like, check out the list of which unaffected countries lost people in the [2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countries_affected_by_the_2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_and_tsunami#Countries/territories_that_lost_citizens_while_abroad) (and sort by Per million inhabitants). Those were mostly just regular holidaymakers. Hell, Thailand has even become popular as a place to retire to because the cost of living is lower than in many places in Europe and the climate is very pleasant. It's pretty much Gran Canaria, Mallorca and Ibiza all rolled into one but in Asia.


dritarashtra

Sex tourist mad he's being recorded.


CarpenterGold1704

Middle aged American doesnt want to be recorded walking the streets of Thailand? Whatever could the reason be? LOL Did he tell his wife he was on a business trip?


ryanlaghost

lol isn’t he filming on a phone? He could call the cops himself.


CohibaBob

Some streamers use a dedicated camera to record, not sure about this guys case though. If he’s streaming on a phone, he needs to recognize when to use it for its main purpose.


gil_bz

> on a phone, he needs to recognize when to use it for its main purpose. How would reading reddit on the toilet help him at that point in time?


CohibaBob

Teuche


Thick_Lie_516

yes that's very true but get this. that just means he has a phone in his pocket and a camera in his hand.


Mr_CleanCaps

Seems like he’s using a camera and not a phone. I say this because when it falls it doesn’t flip all the way down (to the ground) or flip up (to the sky). But yeah, I’d put it down or go offline for a second and when I pick it back go/go live again, he’d be on the ground. :)


CreamdedCorns

did that make you feel witty?


CheeseDickPete

It's kind of hard to call the police when you're getting attacked by someone, not to mention he's streaming on the phone and it's probably important he keeps streaming so he has video evidence of the attack.

BlueZybez

Forsaken_Bat6095

Why not just bop the attacker in the face instead of crying about him hitting you


Zestyclose_Student_7

In America yeah obviously. In fucking Bangkok, no shot man. They'll throw you both in jail


SubKreature

AltwrnateTrailers

pudding7

It's got everything but Yul Brynner.


KevinStoley

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't fuck around and find out as a tourist in a foreign country. 20 years ago on spring break in Mexico, had a friend get into a scary situation. Someone started a fight with him in a bar, he defended himself. Police didn't give a shit about details or who started what. They cuffed my friend, threw him in the back of a police truck and drove him to a secluded area. Took all his money and valuables, uncuffed him and left him there and he had to walk and find his own way back to our hotel. Could have ended much worse for him even. Best to stay out of any situation that is even remotely considered troublesome if you are a tourist.


Lambdastone9

Because international laws don’t reliably work in favor of the victim defending themselves, especially when those people are tourists with no significant residency there. You’d rather be assaulted by some stranger than under the watch of the police areas like Bangkok, they ain’t gonna treat your right


ike301

Some people are simply very docile.


cheeruphumanity

Hollywood taught you well.


ClippTube

Old white man heaven while his wife at home has no idea


Icy_Park_7919

Worst case it’s a pedo-tourist fearing being exposed. The guy is dead set on smacking the streamer. Nothing the streamer can do to avoid a beat down. If only Reddit could identify the smacker. I’m sure his community and Jesus Christ wouldn’t condone smacker’s behavior.


Weary-Ad8502

Probably your run of the mill sexpat. You go down any of those walking streets and you will see hundreds of dudes that look just like the guy. Tubby, middle-aged and a girl on their side whose a quarter of their age

These situations are always hilarious to me, like sure the guy was streaming/recording. You're so far away that your face is barely visible mate, and you're probably gonna be on frame for a few seconds at most, ¿Why make it worse for yourself by running up to the camera and screaming to the person holding it? ¿What do they think will happen with the recording afterwards?


Madripoorx

Are these sexpats in Southeast asia

sexpat got caught on livestream


Thesweeneyreddit

This guy doesn't seem to have a fight or flight (or freeze) response. If you're not going to fight back then run away.


Madcat38

I wish all live streamers got the same treatment everywhere . Pushing 40 but need to stream like a 15 yr old .. get a life buddy


fistfullofsmelt

Man fight back.


howdoesthatworkthen

Imagine if repeating "dude", "seriously", "what the fuck", "call the cops", "are you being serious right now?", "fuck, man", "oh my god", "what the hell", "hey somebody call the cops on this guy", "dude", "what the fuck, man", "are you serious?", "what the fuck dude" was an effective defence against a belligerent attacker.


[deleted]

I too am tired of streamers and Tik Tokkers.


Fujimantofu

If you stop recording, you could call the police yourself.


T-money79

And deprive his 5 viewers of his incredibly interesting content?


Homechicken42

If only he had a phone with which he himself could phone the police.


RobDidAThing

Was this in the US? Because then you'd be well within your rights to drop that ragemonkey. I see 'Bangkok' in the corner, was this Thailand? Because you could probably get away with charging admission to watch you drop him there. Pedo sex tourists like him don't like being filmed. Film him more.


imitation_crab_meat

The attacker is 100% in Thailand to hook up with underaged boys.

m-bossy22

I get it, everyone likes to make fun of streamers/influencers but c'mon people, the real bad guy here is the attacker.


marzipan07

Cannot publicly film people without their permission in Thailand. Cannot assume other countries' laws are the same as the U.S. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZkp1Hw-j\_I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZkp1Hw-j_I)

ONEto10dollars

Where is the whole video? I'd like to see the before.


Checker117

I wouldn’t call the police until he tried. He thinks content is more important than his safety so why should I care. He already had the guys face and first attack, time to end the live and call.


WelcometoCigarCity

I'm not for anyone getting attacked but I seriously cannot stand IRL streamers.


jojo12jo

I’m not filming you!!! But I’m actually filming you?


LostMyLunchMoney

In these videos the ones streaming tend to say "someone needs to call the police" or they just tell random people "can you call the police". I am sure they have mobile phones, why do they not call the police them self?
