Have the foreigners been put in prison yet? Let's hope they got out of Dodge on the double.

Good...and well done to the staff member.

The man was booked for beating a 60 year old woman. But he still shouldn't have bothered the diners. Would you approach a banker and ask for a loan while he was eating dinner?

[GreenlightmeansGO]

Why was he trying to learn English from the Scots??

"A 71-year-old man... was simply trying to ``learn English from the foreigners.''"

Because it's never too late to learn English.

[Xuanzang]

I'm surprised they actually arrested him but he was probably released with an ajoshi warning.

It's never too late for kimberly to sober up and stop acting like a horse's ass either.

[skeeterses]

It sounds like he was arrested for trying to beat something out of the foreigners. Maybe when he gets out of jail he can say "Beat me up Scotty."

The Korea Times might want to change the headline to something more fitting. Drunk man arrested for beating up a restuarant worker.

A drunk man is walking down the street. He sees some foreigners in a restuarant. The restuarant worker doesn't want his/her customers harrassed by a drunk guy so s/he blocks his way. The drunk guy gets mad and attacks the restuarant worker.

If the drunk guy was running across the street to speak to the foreigners and was hit by a car, would the headline read Man Killed for Trying to Learn English ?

[Bingo]

That headline is ridiculous. Rarely does a drunken ajoshi approach foreigners to "learn English". He's approaching them because he's an ajoshi and the foreigners are on his turf. He demands to be entertained. If the foreigners reused to pay any attention to him there would be trouble, and the Korean staff knew that. Kudos to them for directing the clown away from the table and charging him after the assault. (The very fact that he assaulted a restaurant worker shows the nature of "English conversation" the two Scottish guys would have been subjected to.

Now, imagine if they had two attractive Korean girls sitting with them. Imagine the English that ajoshi would try to practice.

statistically, they are probably on E2 visas, so by trying to learn from them, he is asking them to do something illegal as well.

i know this is a bit of a jump, but if i see two pretty girls, is it okay to go ask them for sex?
