Cambodian attackers gunning for Koreans

KBS (Korean) and Reuters (English) are reporting that the sick, twisted fuck — and anyone who shoots a two-year-old in the head because he’s crying to much (or orders him shot) certainly qualifies as a sick, twisted fuck — who planned yesterday’s hostage drama in Cambodia was gunning for the Koreans in order to enact revenge on his Korean ex-employer:

A Cambodian man who shot dead a Canadian toddler during a school hostage drama near Angkor Wat was driven by revenge against his South Korean ex-employer, police said on Friday.

Chea Khom quit last week as driver for a Korean restaurant owner in Siem Reap, gateway to the famed 800-year-old temples, after being slapped in the face for taking the children to school late, senior police investigator Ou Em said.

He then decided to exact revenge by kidnapping the Korean’s children from the school, hatching a plot with friends in Phnom Penh which led ultimately to Thursday’s school siege and the death of the 2-year-old Canadian boy, he said.

“When he entered the school his first target was to kidnap the Korean children, but when he saw the parents of the children he was afraid to do it,” Ou Em told reporters. “So he turned to another classroom and took them hostage.”

The KBS report has it slightly different. Quoting Cambodian police, it said the targeted Korean kids were studying in another building. The authorities said that had these animals seized the right building, those two children would have been killed.

    Not to justify or diminish how evil the Cambodian man’s act was, but slapping the guy in the face for “taking the children to school late”? Sheesh….

    My first year in Korea I had a pretty bad employer. Employment practices are usually a pretty big shock for most people who first get over here. But this guy was worse than average. I often dreamt of serving a dish best served cold. But this guy is one sick bastard. A slap for a slap is all good. Even a punch for a slap is alright in my book. But to exact your revenge on the children is messed up. To plan to kill his kids is just plain psychotic. And why in the name of {fill in personal deity} would he then shoot a 2 year old Canadian kid?

    I don?€™t support the death penalty. I don?€™t think any government should have the legal power to kill people they define as criminal.

    That being said, when it comes to a twisted fuck who kills a toddler, I?€™d shoot that SOB myself and not loose any sleep.

    My wife, who worked for 10 years in the textile industry, told me that Korean companies usually sent to their east-asian facilities the guys they didn’t want to see any longer, ie the bottom of the barrel. The worst of the ??´?????œ ?†??“¤… It is probable other industries do the same. So we shouldn’t expect too much from these guys, who have little love for the local “darkies”…

    I don’t believe one word of what that Cambodian murderer allegedly said (reported by Korean media spinning a story for public consumption).

    Revenge against Koreans for a slap? I don’t think so.

    ‘Cried too much,’ Canadian toddler shot dead
    Gunmen seize dozens of children at international school in Cambodia

    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    AND CANADIAN PRESS

    SIEM REAP, Cambodia ?€” A Canadian toddler was killed with a shot to the head as punishment for crying too much today during a nightmarish hostage-taking at an international school that saw masked gunmen seize dozens of children and demand cash, weapons and a vehicle.

    The hostage-takers told police they killed the two-year-old boy, the only child to die in the ordeal, because of his sobs and had then planned to kill children one by one before authorities rescued them following a six-hour standoff.

    There was conflicting information about the boy?€™s identity. Denis Richer, a Frenchman who teaches at another school in the town, identified him as Michaelka Maxyme and said he tried to comfort his horrified father after the ordeal.

    ?€œHe was completely lost,?€? Richer said.

    I find that weird. Stateside, we send our best guys over, because it’s hard enough to get things going in a completely foreign environment without having guys who can’t do the job dropping the ball over and over again.

    Whether dda’s contention is true or not, Koreans do have a reputation for being difficult to work for. According to various press accounts I’ve read (WaPo, NYT, WSJ, LaT, et al), Koreans are at the bottom of the list of foreign employers favored by Chinese workers. The Taiwanese are next to last for being stingy. The Koreans are stingy *and* physically abusive. (Domestic employers are further down the list than foreign employers).

    Zhang Fei, I don’t necessarily disagree with you regarding Korean employers who are notorious for abuse.

    But I don’t think that has anything to do with what went on in Cambodia. According to the Cambodian police, the man who got allegedly slapped was a well known local gangster who worked as a security guard for a Korean family. A gang member said he got slapped so he planned the revenge. If indeed he was slapped, a hoodlum getting slapped wouldn’t make me lose sleep. Maybe the owner even had a good reason. But considering the hoodlum’s background, he could be lying trying to worm his way out of a pickle.

    tru dat, kimbob.

    the story here is this guy killed an innocent little kid. as nasty as many korean employers are, it’s beside the point. besides, it makes no sense. why kill a canadian boy if you were pissed at your korean employer?

    Whether dda?€™s contention is true or not,

    Zhang Fei, whether you believe it or not, it’s the gist of 10 years of professional experience of my wife. It’s because they [textile factories] have the worst shits and drunks as factory foremasters and managers in shitholes like Podunk, Indonesia or Podink, Bangladesh that she stopped doing factory inspections. And the larger companies only send men for inspections ?€“ as girls tend to be even more ignored.

    One of the factories she spent 4 months in Indonesia, one foremaster was killed because of brutality. The killers disappeared. In another factory, on several occasions, employees put knives in boxes of garments shipped back to Europe, as a sign of protest [sounds childish, but believe me, when the Brits opened the boxes and found the knives they raised hell with the Korean company].

    Of course, it doesn’t mean that the factories in Korea are much better…
