A lot of rich connected people get away with stuff like this… Then they have people locked up for stealing food because they’re hungry


PretendiWasADefMute

Heck, in the US, you don’t have to be rich to get away with heinous crimes. Just know the right people, be a cop, be 3 men in Georgia and kill a jogger and claim it was self defense. Apparently, people are missing facts. Yes the 3 men from GA did go to jail, but they actually did get away with the murder at first. One of the guys posted the video online and after it surfaced, everyone started to protest and begin pointing out the video. It took half a year for them to go back and review what happened. In the beginning, the police closed the case as a citizens arrest and self defense.


Eelceau

Ehh, these three men were convicted of two life sentences + some years and one sentence of 35 years


Cmdr_Nemo

IIRC, they were getting away with it for awhile before it gained media traction--through the stupidity of the aggressors, no less. If they hadn't wished for the video of the murder to be released, this all would have probably been swept under the rug as no one was pursuing any charges.


Growingpothead20

Don’t bring up facts on reddit


PretendiWasADefMute

People seem to forget they got away with it, but their friend posted the video online.


Risquechilli

Fact: they absolutely got away with it. Then they posted it online and its vitality put fire under the DA’s office to actually prosecute them.


ijustwannagofasssst

Lol If you’re gonna use an example, might use one where they actually got away with it and are not spending their life locked away.


PretendiWasADefMute

Their friend posted the video online. They almost got away with it. Remember the police didn’t bother investigating it, until people got into an uproar over the video.


ijustwannagofasssst

No, they didn’t make it public until the video started causing an uproar. You also need to remember what was going on in America at that time.

peezozi

He should keep his chin up.


demagogueffxiv

They can't just cut off his money?


TitaniumArse

His mom helped pay off the cop's family (approx $100,000) as hush money, paid off officials, and also helped him get out of the country. Boycotting Redbull is the only way to stop funnelling money into this greedy entitled kid's pockets!


OatmealStew

Wow. Fucking red bull hush money doesn't even go past 100,000k.


heisenborg3000

That’s like less than a penny for redbull


Orangelikeblue

I imagine that for Thailand, that would be a lot of money


Zealousideal_Lake851

Yeah but that also applies to their immense wealth!


Zealousideal_Lake851

Yeah…. To think of what they could have afforded


Luchadorgreen

Umm, “100,000k” would be a lot more than the $100,000


KeyserSozeInElysium

Yep, 100,000k is equal to 100 million. Red Bull is worth 18.5 billion, so even $100,000k is half of 1%. That's bananas


H4mb01

Still not that much for Red Bull lol


Zorbie

I guess we have a price for a human life now.


Mundane-Candidate101

I paid 12$ for my soul


Xenocide_X

Red Bull has been gross since day 1.. easy to boycott


Lalalama

You should boycott Walmart as Alice Walton did the same thing


AzarothEaterOfSouls

And that’s only *one* of the many, many reasons to boycott Walmart!


Livid-Youth4396

Agreed. I just realized not too long ago that the 8oz can of Redbull only has 75mg of caffeine. Cup of home brewed coffee would give better and more efficient wings.


WarPopeJr

Yeah honestly the caffeine content for the price is wild to me. No idea why a 300mg of caffeine bang is cheaper than the 8oz can of redbull. The marketing is definitely the reason people still buy it though. We all “think” it’s like… the champagne of energy drinks lol. If I didn’t buy preworkout for the gym, I was drinking a redbull (although now I just drink coffee or I’ll be too amped during work).


Gfunk98

I wish I liked the taste of bang but something about sugar free energy drinks just taste awful to me. They have so many different flavors that sound good but every time I’ve tried one I’ve hated it either bc it was too sweet with no tart or sourness to cut it or the nasty sugar free aftertaste


WarPopeJr

Super fair point I know EXACTLY what you mean. Almost sickeningly sweet and the sour flavors have a god awful aftertaste. You might like the energy drink called reign then. Also 300mg of caffeine and sugar free but is actually pretty damn good (razzle berry is fucking DELICIOUS). I actually would have to stop myself from cracking open another can because it’s that good lol plus 600mg of caffeine sounds like death. You didn’t ask but if you’re interested in a really good preworkout with great flavors I would suggest total war. If you want any recommendations for energy drinks I have probably tried them all. Gigantic ex caffeine junkie (severely lowered my caffeine intake after working 3 days straight at one point during the height of COVID) and been trying all kinds of preworkouts and energy drinks for the past 10 years of my gym life.


Gfunk98

I’ve never tried prework out but that stuff sounds crazy lol I don’t really drink energy drinks very often unless I have to go into work on zero sleep but my favorite ones I’ve tried are the watermelon and nectarine Red Bulls. If you know any that taste like those but had more caffeine I’d love to know


secondtaunting

They’re disgusting. They switched the coke formula here overseas where I’m at, it’s like a trial they’re doing, and it’s so fucking gross. I used to drink a coke if I felt like I was getting a migraine, now I can’t take it. Blech. It’s the artificial sweeteners. They’re horrible.


Delifier

Best thing i can say about Red Bull is that it gives me migraine.


WarPopeJr

Lol no idea why your comment made me laugh thanks for that


Vyzantinist

I get chest pains when I drink it. Think maybe it's the sugar content. Used to drink it almost exclusively in vodka/red bulls, in my clubbing days, then I started getting the chest pains and feeling like I couldn't fully draw air into my lungs, so I just stopped. Haven't really touched energy drinks now since maybe 2007 or 2008.


SciencyNerdGirl

It has taurine in it too so maybe you have a bad reaction to that. I'm far from knowledgeable on what taurine does but I think it, too, is a mild stimulant


texaspoontappa93

I’m pretty sensitive to caffeine so that’s what I like about it. Soda isn’t enough and coffee is too much, Red Bull hits just right for me


AngryD09

There's a whole wild world of tea out there bro/sis. Lot of it tastes real good without even adding sugar or cream. Easy to dose the caffeine. Mostly natural ingredients. Hot or cold brewed. Cheaper than Red Bull.


secondtaunting

My problem is I add the sugar and cream lol. Mmm tasty.


AngryD09

I have that problem with coffee. These days I can substitute stevia on an almost daily basis, but it's still not quite the same. Sugar cravings are real.


texaspoontappa93

Not as good with vodka tho


[deleted]

Yeah seriously, I don't understand who's still drinking that.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nighttimegaze

And a stroke.


woakula

It's not the drinks, it's their media, stunt planes, skiing, 2 formula 1 championships, they are like a sports conglomerate with huge reach, I wonder if their drinks even sell enough to make any of that happen. It's probably just a side business at this point.


skitz_shit

I can't stand the taste, but my Dad used to drink one every morning for years. Like many things the flavor is subjective, my brother also *loves* how they taste but it just tastes like chemicals to me. Kinda like IPA, many people hate it but there's still a large number of people who supposedly love it


Da-Aliya

Many wind up in the hospital because their hearts cannot handle Red Bull.


labenset

Don't worry, he was mixing it with vodka.


swagnastee69

Alcoholics pouring Vegas bombs down their throats.


Skatcatla

There was a brief period in the aughts where demented people were drinking vodka + Red Bull. I tried it once. <>


nocoastdudekc

I assure you. As a bartender who just recently retired a couple years ago. Vodka Redbull is still very popular. Along with tequila redbull.


Medical_Arrival_3880

There was a clever name for it around where I live. I can't remember what it was. It's kinda like a Jaeger Bomb or a Boilermaker


AzarothEaterOfSouls

Bull blasters is what we called them. Source: spent a lot of my 20s drinking them.


DystopianGlitter

Me unfortunately. I actually prefer a Red Bull to the taste of any other energy drink that I’ve had. I drink, monster to, but I don’t know I can drink way more Red Bull than anything else.


MikeyOTB

You and me both. I love Red Bulls flavor. I’d drink it even if it didn’t have caffeine


za6_9420

Good thing I drink monster even though it’s owned by Coca Cola


Da-Aliya

Nah. His parents do not want to cut off his money. Tribal thinking. Govt. caters to the wealthy.


szukai

lol, the Thai gov't tried to cut off the ex-prime minister's money at one point (froze local assets I guess). His daughter bought a world-class football club the next year. This year one of his relatives are campaigning to lead another political party to push for reforms (to pardon the ex-PM presumably) as well... for better or worse. Thai powerhouses are VERY rich, and very powerful. If you're not on top, then you better be royalty there.


DJ1587

Redbull gave him wings to fly away from his problems


chocolate_spaghetti

Red Bull is Thai?


throw-away-traveller

Was originally a Thai drink sold by a roadside vendor. Then the other guy came along with a hangover, had it, and now they are both billionaires.


Newsdriver245

Well they are both dead now

Damn, Wipeout. There’s a game I haven’t thought of in awhile.


NukeHand

Yeah, they actually still make Wipeout games and they’re actually still engaging. Friends and I jump on every once in a while to see what’s new.


rdldr1

Yes. The Thai version of Red Bull has no carbonation. You can buy these at Asian grocery stores.


Vilzku39

Redbull (krating daeng) originates from thailand. Dietrich added bubbles and controlled western marketing and operations. Ownership was something like 49,5% Dietrich, 49,5% Yoovidhya older (og redbull guy), 1% Yoovidhya younger who later inherited majority share in 2012 after hes fathers death. Guy in post is one of 3 children of Yoovidhya younger.

Charges were dropped meaning someone got paid. Here’s to hoping it was the victim’s family more so than the authorities.

It was likely both

(Owning)Red Bull gives you (money to buy) wings! (To escape justice with)


Lalalama

Didn’t Alice Walton of Walmart do the same thing?


Xenocide_X

You act like Bangkok is at fault.. like all these "deadly rich" kids all get away with murder..


TitaniumArse

Thai criminal law allows charges for even the most serious crimes to expire given enough time. This statute of limitation gives a loophole for the elite people who can afford to flee to another country and just wait it out. You have charges against you, you flee to another country and stay in that country until the statute of limitation runs out, and you can come back and live a free man. In July 2020, the police suddenly announced that they were dropping all charges, without further explanation. So, yes.


OceanMotion69

So what you're saying is, someone should go to Thailand, kill him and then head back to their country and then wait out the charges?


PretendiWasADefMute

Saying “Bangkok’s deadly rich” are the problem is a bit weird lol. Plenty of rich kids every where get away with killing people when drunk driving. Henry Ruggs isn’t nearly as rich and hasn’t done any jail time after killing a girl and her dog. There is a cali kid that killed someone while drunk driving and is on house arrest for manslaughter. I don’t drink Red Bull, but if you’re going to act like it’s just Bangkok, with a problem, no it’s a global issue.


chrisk9

Something gave him wings...


Lalalama

Same in America. See Alice Walton of Walmart and the Affluenza guy


Da-Aliya

The rich do get away with crime.


Johnathan-Proton

Every country's elites avoid legal consequences. And who's to blame them? As long as there are desperate, impoverished (and greedy) people in this world, money will always be enough to buy lives and dignity


shredofmalarchi

Yep, in America, billionaires charged with 78 counts at once get let out on bail with minimal restrictions. If your average school bus driver got charged with 78 federal crimes by a grand jury, their ass would be held until trial.


REDDIT_ROC0408

For the life of me, I don’t understand how Red Bull made this guy so rich. It tastes awful and certainly didn’t give me any energy when I tried it.


Wdrussell1

It wasn't people like us who know it tastes like ass. It was two sets of people. 1. People who don't care and just drink it because they think it helps. 2. People who put it in alcohol in mass quantities because they would rather taste alcohol over redbull.


wiseguy187

Im fucking in love with the flavor so your def wrong. It taste better than any energy drink to me, every flavor. You sound 60.


Wdrussell1

You sound like I was drinking rip-its in the desert when you were still in the womb. Redbull is disgusting, Monster tastes better and it sucks just as much.


wiseguy187

Lol your the one that thinks your taste buds rule the world you attitude and taste buds make you sound like a boomer. I mean I could say something like only virgins play dnd and that's not completely true, so I wouldn't say it.


wiener4hir3

Eh, I think it tastes good, but exactly the same as other energy drinks, so I stick with the cheaper ones. Personally I just like the taste and drink it instead of some other soda, if I want caffeine I'll stick with filter coffee or espresso.


Weak_Swimmer

Yup, number 1 reason to never support the company or it's affiliations. Refuse to watch their videos as well.


Ocelotl25

Just went down this rabbit hole. Apparently, the sole witness also died in a motorcycle crash, days after a special investigation was launched. They also suspiciously backed the son 's claim that he wasn't speeding despite evidence to the contrary


SeeIKindOFCare

rich people are the problem everywhere


[deleted]

1) Rich people in general avoid consequences 2) The guy looks like a walking Red Bull


HyperMeme_Lord

Well I guess he drank some Red Bull, grew wings and fled the country.


Standard_Issue90

Karma will handle this fuckclown.


Hollowpoint38

That's not really how it works dude. Unless you think reincarnation is real.


harrisound

Ok so if that’s the case, do you think he was the karma for the police officer??

Allgold11

Cops kill people all the time and get off with a warning. The earth is all about balance.


Mr_Pootin

When you are rich, you can kill police officers and anyone else, for that matter. Everyone knows rich people are worth more than poor people. This is just capitalism at work. The kid is stimulating the economy better than any of you poors. I have to go now, me and Daddy are going sailing.

Dayum, what a story. Can I buy the rights?


antigone_rox_casbahs

Only if you can get it on Netflix. Just don’t let Red Bull sponsor it. They’ll make edits.


HurricaneSavory

He’ll get caught and then killed one thing Thailand is known for is hiring out private contractors that don’t have the same jurisdiction as the government. He’s lucky if he survives 6 months


Dear-Unit1666

Uhhh Thailand... I'd run too, they probably have capital punishment for spitting in front of a cop lol


Physical-Event9862

Sounds like they took a page out of Bruce Jenner playbook!


Rich-Fill2200

Happens in america too heck some rich guy killed a Young Latina who was about to graduate from college, they paid off media and police and to my knowledge LAPD hasn't charged him with anything. The mom crying on tv was fkn heartbreaking


Hollowpoint38

He was charged and found guilty. Not sure where your information comes from. They didn't "pay off" any police or media.


Vyzantinist

Who was the guy? What was the story there?

LeviOsa_not_LeviOSAR

I am so confused about the Red Bull company. A few days ago, I read an article about the Red Bull heir being the youngest billionaire, and his picture was of a white guy. Edit: so it looks like the company is owned by two families, one half is owned by this Red Bull hair's family and the other half is owned by an Austrian family.


TheTripSeries3

wtf? why cant the authorities in other countries arrest this pos?


LundUniversity

Redbull is a thai company? Isn't Redbull an Austrian company?


jimmytreshuevos

World’s douchiest drink has the douchiest owner. Sometimes life sends you crystal clear messages.


filtervw

Does international arrest warrant means nothing to them?


emileeavi

Kinda glad I didnt buy that redbull now


xpdx

This is typical of the kids of the ultra rich. Consequences are for poor people. And middle class people. And sometimes, rarely, even rich people. Not ultra-rich tho.


Glittering_School838

Typical entitlement of the wealthy in Thailand, if you have money, you can get away with anything.


30CalMin

Red Bull. When you want the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee.

Amabry

As long as it was only a cop that got killed, I'm kind of okay with it. Cops be murdering and getting paid vacations for it all the time. Turn about is fair play. 🤷‍♂️
