I don't get it. Should people feel obligated to help the two because a) they are Canadian, which somehow makes us concerned with them even though we know nothing about them or b) because they are alleged victims, which we're not sure about either?
Looks like the no's are carrying the day on Dave's. No matter, they already seem to have an entire town behind them. |

| Best I know is that they're two illegals who got into a fight, and one Korean dude went home with a broken jaw. Whoever threw the first punch doesnt matter. If things were getting hot, they should have had the sense to leave knowing they were illegals. |

| I'm a little dismayed and disappointed that no one is volunteering to go to the Blue House and cut off a finger in protest at foreigners being held in jail. That's the kind of support that would mean something. |

Simple question.. do you plan to help?
If you want to add in the why, that's your business.  |

| Drunken brawling happens. I bet there's a few going on somewhere in the world right now. While I'm not going to pitch money into the hat, I think it's ok their town is trying to raise money to help defray what will probably be a higher-than-usual cost to defend/settle the case. |

If the reports are true, it does sound like at least one of the jailed individuals has extensive experience when it comes to physical confrontations. It also sounds like this episode will be one of his more memorable encounters. It also sounds like the two of them (again, if some of the reports are true) could use all the help they can get at this point, including fund raisers back home.
No doubt, "back home" is somewhere they would very much like to be right now. |

85% intend to do nothing even though no one knows the real story of what happened.
And people wonder I don't want anything to do with most other efl'ers in Korea. |

i said i will help if i find out more about the situation. given what i know of the korean "legal" system, i find it plausible that some drunk ajoshi was belligerent enough to get his head beaten in. it's something i've considered myself in certain situations. however, maybe these two are "good, old hockey boys" and like to pick a fight.
i need more information. |

If 85% agreed to do something (financial aid, protesting, etc) "even though no one knows the real story of what happened" how would that make us any better than the ultra-nationalistic korean netizens whom we have chastized time and time again for their adherence to heresay and half truths?
Give it a shake man |

I was thinking tat too. You just beat me in posting it.
Having said that mind you, I do often think about people, whom I know nothing about, let alone their name, and try to guess why they don't have anything to do with anyone else, and never come out of the inpenetrable little arrogant bubbles that they seem to live in.
Infact, I'm gonna think about it some more today..........  |

If the Korean guy is going to spend 2-3 months in hospital then it wasn't just a little drunken brawl. They went overboard and drinking is no excuse, I like a beer or 5 but if it made me a violent git then I wouldn't drink.
The ajoshi may well have been being an annoying aggressive jerk, but he is an ajoshi so what do you expect, some of them are like that.
The whole thing sounds like drunken idiocy all round.
I'm donating spare money to the tsunami victims rather than a couple of brawling illegal 'teachers'. |
