The public outburst as demonstrated in the angry comments on social media against a group of teenagers who murdered a man, and raped and badly assaulted his girlfriend is understandable.
The crime itself is gruesome. But the unrepentant and unapologetic appearance of the 19-year-old alleged gang leader, identified as Nopporn "Q" Thong-iad seems to have fuelled the tempers of quite a few people.
According to press reports, Mr Nopporn and the other gang members, including a 17-year-old youth, gang-raped his three-months pregnant ex-girlfriend in front of the hapless Phasakorn. However, Mr Nopporn denied reports claiming the rape took place after Phasakorn's murder.
