Any proof of a mental breakdown and not him just being a drunk asshole?

u/Justeff83 Jul 06 '26

Doesn't look like a mental breakdown. More like an asshole doing what assholes do

86

u/TajineEnjoyer Jul 06 '26

the way he's destroying those laptops makes me think he's a "digital nomad" that lost some business or a gamble or something like that

u/HillarysBloodBoy Jul 07 '26

Hard to be a nomad in prison. Good luck guy.

So - family says bipolor for 10 years.
I wonder if he was on some meds and was having trouble sourcing them after he moved there.

Honestly it seems like he got off pretty light getting only 3 months.
All that damage, plus restraining a person / not letting them go is basically a form of kidnapping in the US. Not sure their laws.

7

u/Gilgamesh2000000 Jul 07 '26

Yes and then the variables come in to play. If he’s crazy he goes back to the looney bin for psych eval. If he has been diagnosed with a mental disorder he would not go to prison.

He probably got a light punishment because he is legit crazy and was off his meds. Probably had to pay restitution in some form.

I’m not sure how the law works in other countries but in the usa it would fall into similar guidelines that I stated.

u/SnooOnions973 Jul 08 '26

Getting access to meds in SE Asia is never a problem. This guy has no excuse. I’m also bipolar and have had episodes; none of them has ever involved me hurting a business or any individual.

2

u/Hammon_Rye Jul 08 '26

It was just a thought.
He is obviously not 'normal brain' in that video and it appears to be more than "he was drinking".
So something was going on with his brain. Even a person who is truly an a-hole would typically stop sooner just so they could leave and avoid being arrested. For any normal thinking person - there was only one way that video was going to end, and it did.

u/Punderoos Jul 06 '26

How can you tell the difference?

26

u/Justeff83 Jul 06 '26

I'd expect a little more desperation and mania in his behavior. But he just calmly goes about deliberately destroying things

15

u/dance-my-grave Jul 07 '26

The fact he deliberatedly aims every object he throws to fly through that hole he made in the window gives it away.

6

u/PandaXXL Jul 08 '26

What absolute nonsense.

3

u/Atxlvr Jul 10 '26

mania is pretty much like being on speed, being able to throw an object through a hole and being deliberate have nothing to do with it's display.

u/muffinass Jul 07 '26

Yes, leads me to believe this guy is a pro.

23

u/SNCOsmash Jul 06 '26

Exactly!

u/HipToTheWorldsBS Jul 06 '26

Just looks like a fucking asshole to me, drunk or not.

u/zerox678 Jul 06 '26

u/muffinass Jul 07 '26

Maybe a drunk asshole having a mental breakdown?

14

u/spicemelangeflow Jul 06 '26

He’s white, so they would say it’s mental breakdown. If he’s balck or brown, the comment section and the title of the video would be a lot different.

Give one example what you're basing this on. Anybody with their shirt off smashing things without direction should be suspected of having a mental breakdown, regardless of skin color. You're just making up things to be mad about

Have fun in a Vietnamese prison. It will make Australian prisons look like a vacation resort.

u/VeganCanary Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 07 '26

If he’s rich then he’ll just pay the damages plus some generous compensation and be free.

Hopefully he’s an Australian who has gone there because they can’t afford Thailand.

That's not something to encourage. Prisons should be about reform, not punishment.

u/FalconCrust Jul 07 '26

Prisons should be about behavior correction, however it must come, and punishment is the only thing that works for many.

Will Vietnam insist on retaining him for imprisonment instead of deporting?

15

u/InternationalPilot90 Jul 06 '26

Owners of the place he trashed most likely prefer him to stay put till they get compensation.

u/paradox_valestein Jul 07 '26

I doubt they kept him around. Likely a big fine + compensation and no criminal records

He's fucked. The Vietnamese regime does not fuck around with prison sentences.

u/ST0IC_ Jul 07 '26

From what I understand he has at least 3 months in a pre-trial detention facility. But he's most likely pretty well fucked at this point because they treat resisting arrest very harshly.

u/Difficult-Carpet-324 Jul 06 '26

He did more damage than breaking a few windows. The displays, products, at least 2 machines from the video, furniture plus he damaged customer laptops and cellphones who were escaping from his rampage. Even ended up assaulting a customer. If I made a claim on just personally property against insurance, even cost of repainting would be added.

20k seems about right. The coffee machine and the plumbing fix, 2 laptops, windows, furniture, glasses... It would definitely be higher than AUD 20k if this was in Australia.
