Can we include oxygen-thieves?

A patrolling police officer intervened, separated the three and arrested the thief immediately.
The young Koreans left after they got the handbag back. The thief was transferred to a prison |
Imagine if this had been foreigners in korea? the Korean thief would have got a massive blood money payout and the foreigners would have been put in jail. |

Korea beating!
Nah, fair enough to the two guys... Simillar would've happpend to the ModEdit thief if a lot of people I know back home were with their Ma and Pa and someonone stole Mum's handbag... The theif wouldv'e got the beating of his life from some people I know / have known back home.... rightly so in my opinion - don't steal of people's Mums. Simple. |

While the Korean system of justice for these situations is wacky to the Western eye, I don't know of any situation where non-citizens were treated with different rules.
If you feel persecuted then leave. Right? |

| The thief pulled a knife on unarmed womenfolk. I can understand the Koreans' response. |

Anyone would be pretty damned mad at someone who pulled a knife on a vulnerable member of your own family (or indeed any member of your family) so I think it's pretty good he got a kicking. Possibly the policeman saved the thief too soon?
It was topical as I first read this story several hours after a friend said to me that I'm gonna get Taekwondo-ed (sp?) at least once whilst I'm in Korea, even if I'm just innocently hanging around with one of 'their' women.
Has anyone got their ass kicked in Korea (specifically a Taekwondo kicking)? |

No, not at all. I only knew one guy who was attacked by Koreans, twice, but he was definitely asking for it... |
