Pair Shot and Beaten for Public Urination
 

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Reuters) - A little late night relief proved costly for two drunk Cambodians who were shot and beaten by security guards for urinating against a garage wall.



Police said Sun Sophat, 23, the son of a provincial governor, and Mao Visalvan, 31, incurred the wrath of the guards when they mistook the garage for a public toilet on the way home from a party on Monday night.


Phnom Penh district police chief Yim Simony said the guards probably feared the pair might damage some of the luxury cars in the garage. But he thought they had over-reacted.


"They should not have sprayed bullets at them just because they have bad morality," he told Reuters.


Sun Sophat, who was shot in the leg, sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries. His friend Mao Visalvan is recovering after being beaten around the head, the police chief said.


Urinating in public is common in the deeply impoverished Southeast Asian nation because it lacks amenities.

Someone needs to have them working security in Florida ;)

Good. I hate those fuckers that think they can piss anywhere they want. I wish the cops here in the US would summarily execute them as well.

when you gotta go you gotta go

now imagine if Bill Gates got drunk when he was 18(gotta pretend here) and this happened to him and he never started up Microsoft.. Not only would computers and the internet be so far behind what they are today it isn't even funny, but you wouldn't have this guy giving over 1.5 billion dollars a year to charity..
Pretty stupid thinking if you ask me..

Some people have nasty habits!

That ain't enough reason to pump bullets!
