Is coalescing through ambiguous altruistic pontification any more or less valuable if someone is not who they say they are?

There was a post before yours that I ignored for a good and sufficient reason.

Woman in Thailand's high-rise cuts rope holding painters - ABC News (go.com)

BANGKOK -- A resident of a high-rise condominium in Thailand cut the support rope for two painters, apparently angry she wasn't told they would be doing work, and left them hanging above the 26th floor until a couple rescued them, police said Wednesday.

The woman is facing attempted murder and property destruction charges, Pol. Col. Pongjak Preechakarunpong, chief of the Pak Kret police station north of the Thai capital, told The Associated Press.

Pongjak did not say what prompted her to cut the rope, but Thai media reported that she was apparently frustrated when the workers appeared outside her room and hadn't seen an announcement by the condo that they would be doing work on Oct. 12.

A video clip on social media showed two painters asking the residents on the 26th floor to open the window and let them in. One of the painters, a Myanmar national named Song, told the Thai media that he and his two friends had lowered themselves from the 32nd floor to repair a crack on the building.

When he reached the 30th floor, he felt that the rope was heavier and when he looked down, he saw someone on the 21st floor open a window and cut his rope. He tried asking for help from other units, but nobody was in. The third colleague continued to support them from the top floor, said Praphaiwan Setsing, the resident who saved them.

Praphaiwan said her British husband noticed one painter signaling for help and called her to talk to them.

“This incident is shocking and should not happen at all," she said.

The management of the condo accompanied the painters to report the incident to the police. The 34-year-old woman at first denied she responsible, but police sent the severed rope for a fingerprint and DNA analysis, media reported.


On Wednesday, the woman and her lawyer appeared at the police station. After the police showed her the CCTV footage and the forensic evidence, she confessed but denied any intention to kill the workers.

Pongjak said the suspect was temporarily released. Police will file an indictment at the provincial court within 15 days, he said. She could face a prison term up to 20 years if found guilty on a charge of attempted murder.

It seems the job is dangerous enough without having someone cut the rope. She said she didn't have any intention to kill the workers, but what did she think was going to happen when she cut the rope from 30 stories up?

Curiosity beseeched me to explore the serendipitous, albeit duplicitous, actions of well meaning interactivity.

If forgiveness has been given, no revenge sought, on what level of intellectuality is one operating by choosing not to ignore? And if I am not the one whose forgiveness should be given, what difference does that make?

You should see the safety system they had setup on high rises in Beijing incase a worker fell...Basically 3 telephone poles mounted on a 30 degree upward angle, all 3 fanning out from a central point on the corner of the building, with cargo net draped in between at 8 story intervals..... so Im' guessing they were mostly to protect folks on the ground from getting hit by falling people. Because I'm not sure anyone would survive the 8 story fall....especially if they hit one of the telephone poles
