American tourist arrested after going on crazy homophobic rant in the streets of Thailand

An American tourist was caught on tape having a homophobic meltdown outside of a restaurant in Thailand.

Daniel Franckowiak, a plumber and electrician from Bismark, North Dakota, was filmed yelling racist and homophobic slurs and making death threats in front of a crowd of onlookers.

The rant happened earlier this week outside of a restaurant in Chiang Mai. According to witnesses, the outburst was completely unprovoked.

The video was uploaded to YouTube earlier this week, where it was shared and re-shared and re-shared over and over again, as well as reported on by several online media outlets.
