    One kid stands out in memory, he was tall, about 6'1"-6'2" looked mixed wearing a black Led Zeplin t-shirt

    I also see a double standard on this forum, if a local does something that one of you takes offense at, there's lots of posts and comments....
    But I happened to post about an expat, and people comment how that I'm crying about it and it's not worth the thread, or comparisons to their miserable old neighbor etc...
    I didn't post JUST because they were expats. Some of you are SOOO sensitive you can criticize locals, but any criticism about expats real or perceived, you feel it's an over zealous attack. Oh please you bunch of hypocrites (I'm not just referring to the comments on this thread but this forum in general)
    I started the original post because they were bullies (regardless of race religion or economic/social caste) and knew they could pick on the little MTR worker. Adolescents that are bullies grow up into adults that are bullies.

    Anyways FYI; if one day your brat ass kid gets his ass handed to him cause he's used to bullying people. I'm gonna tell you it's not worth mentioning and to stop crying about it

    Well pointed out, There's quite a few hypocrites on this forum.
    Bad manners is Bad manners regardless of skin colour.

    Another thing I've noticed is that parents in HK never apologise for their kids behavior If they're being little shits.

    it's no different then the dozens of posts I see on where, only difference is that in those the local is behaving badly....
    I guess we give a pass to others that are also expats, and judge locals by a different set of rules

    I think the problem is worse on the mainland, where the offspring aren't just brats, but brats with money and connections
    "My father is li guang" comes to mind...
    Tough it's not unique to China, I hear of many similar cases in the former USSR
    And the US has had their own as well (think Chappaquiddick incident), but I think most in the US are much better at discretion.

    Invariably these are the offspring of parents with plenty of money to throw at them, but nary a moment to spare to attend school plays, team sports, etc. It's no wonder these poor kids act out, and everyone suffers the consequences.
