Vigilante Justice

There is the old saying that there is never a cop when you need one. In Cambodia there is never a cop working the night shift and if there is i.e. you get ripped off, want to file a report, or you are in an accident, expect to pay the police. Double jeopardy.

Hooked up with DB at Shark last night having a few beers contemplating Howie for late night football. Jim from Cali 2 comes in and has a few brews and orders a meal. Shooting the shit and Jim says to Bong, "hey there goes that fucker who skipped out on his bill a couple of months ago" Bong says which guy and Jim says the guy who just went into the john. Next thing you know Bong and Jim corner this guy and start giving him an ass whooping. Hat's off to Sharky management for stepping in after they got a few more licks in. Shark security arrives, but Jim says this guy aint got shit and tells them to cut him loose. Apparently he's an American low life that wound up on ya mah and scraping by on hand outs, and has pulled the same shit at Billabong, Red Rooster, and a few Kh joints around town. I got a feeling he'll get more beatings as he continues this lifestyle and won't be seen in the Shark anymore. He's lucky he's a foreigner, Khmers will beat a thief to death.
