I never would've thought this'd happen. 
He was drunk, improvised a weapon, stumbled in, pointed it at the poor part-timer girl, walked off with 600,00 KRW....and cigarettes.

American English teacher robs convenience store... blows the money at a casino
Taught openly for three days before he was arrested
(Daegu - Yonhap News) An elementary school native speaking English teacher robbed a convenience store but the fact he was arrested was belatedly confirmed.
For three days after committing the crime the currently employed native speaking English teacher openly went to school and taught children until he was arrested.
Gyeongsangbuk-do Police Agency revealed that they arrested American native speaking teacher A (27) for going into a convenience store with a weapon, threatening a female clerk and stealing 600,000 won and cigarettes
Teacher A is suspected of entering a convenience store in Gyeongsan at 10:20 pm on April 21 wearing a hat, sunglasses and a hood to cover his face. He threatened a female clerk with a weapon he'd prepared and stole 600,000 won and ten packs of cigarettes.
The investigation found that the day after the robbery, he went to the casino at the Hotel Inter-Burgo in Daegu and bought 200,000 won worth of casino chips and exchanged 50,000 won notes to use.
An official from the Gyeongsangbuk-do Police Agency said that "Teacher A was drunk when he committed the crime." "CCTV cameras in the area of the convenience store revealed that teacher A carefully committed the crime, changing his clothes after leaving the store and returning home."
The arrested teacher, A, came to Korea in August 2010 and worked as a native speaking teacher in places like Yeongdeok and Gyeongsan in Gyeongsangbuk-do.
He taught elementary school students 15 hours a week in after school English classes.
A school official said, "Until we were notified by police, we knew absolutely nothing about the crime." "Teacher A was stripped of his qualifications on May 1." |
If the accusations are true, there's not much more to say than "Nicely done, douchebag."
I do find the whole "he taught openly" part to be odd (was he going to teach secretly?), though that's more a journalistic convention than anything else. Stranger still is the idea that the school - or anyone - could have known what he'd done prior to his arrest. "Until we were notified by police, we knew absolutely nothing about the crime." Well, duh.
I'd be curious to see how long he's put in jail for - I imagine using a weapon in a robbery doesn't go over very well with courts. |

Hey, I especially liked this part from the "journalist":

After all, doesn't everyone return home and just lounge around in a hat, sunglasses, and hood? |

What a complete dick. Lock the fool up and throw away the key. Better still, hand him over to us. Invite the media, and let them report to the public how the vast majority of English teachers in Korea feel about such behavior.
If anyone knows this clown please post his photo. |

I'm wondering if he's a poster on here who took the stories of police incompetence on Dave's a little too much to heart.
On a more serious note what is the matter with that moron? There weren't enough hoops to jump through for the rest of us? |

| I heard he was Korean American. So maybe he was able to get a work visa without having to submit a background check because of his Korean ancestry. |

From what source did you hear this? Did they mention a "Mr. Park"? If not, how do you know this? If it's true it's interesting. But all Joe Public will hear is 'English teacher' and calls will be made for more stringent E-2 regulations. Either way the clown needs to be taken into a back alley.
Robbing convenience stores. |

I don't mind it. I'm a Korean-Canadian (more like Korean-Quebecker) anyways. I try to avoid Korean-Americans (especially West Coast Korean-Americans) in most of the cases. |

| This guy robbed a store hence he is an American. If he had won an olympic gold medal he would be referred to as KOREAN American. |

Ah but of course...
How many mentally-challenged newbies know enough Korean to rob a store? |

What visa was the fool on? Was he born in the States or Korea. Did he have to undergo a background check? Because last year they caught two gyopos working here wanted for murder in the states. Now we have gyopos holding up convenience stores with improvied weapons.
Time to toughen the E-2 visas again for the rest of us again, I suppose.  |
