That's the best argument I have ever seen for the control of "wolf's teeth". And a great acknowledgment that sheep having teeth achieves nothing

I don't know that a manchette has been mentioned in any official news reports, only mention of a knife. To put things in context, a gun was the enabler of the incident. He shot the 5 adults, who may have otherwise been able to stop, defend or lessen the impact of the knife attack. Its possible that carrying guns emboldened the attacker, armed with just a knife, things may have turned out very different. One of the surviving children had 2 bullets removed from his head.

Hang on, the incident is being reported as a privately owned weapon. Why a sudden call for a crackdown on police weapons ?????

What does that even mean ??? Did he have a history of violence, threatening violence? Did he assault people ? If I stood next to him in 7/11 would I have been in danger ? He had a history of drug use and possession. haven't seen any "known to be dangerous" reports. Prior to the incident, he was no different to tens of thousands of Thais, that have been caught with yaba

Why aren't netcitizens calling for gun, drug and mental health reform. Address the problems, not the symptoms of the problems.

That is the case pretty much everywhere isnt it ? A drug conviction doesn't automatically remove the right to legally own a legal gun.

Since when do drug users get the guns taken away ? That doesn't happen anywhere in the world. As the OP states, he had a privately owned and licensed gun. There is no law that takes that away for drug use, or being sacked from the police. Nobody ignored the fact that he was dangerous, up until committing this crime, he wasn't dangerous.

One advantage is you can work, get a work permit, on a marriage visa.

That is sort of the point , isn't it? If there is a history/trend of good guys with guns turning into bad guys with guns, there goes the good guys argument.

Yes, it sort of kills the "we need more good guys with guns" argument, when its the (supposed) good guys with guns doing the shooting

Revised number of dead now 38. Apparently now finding random people he shot by the side of the road.

34 years old

His own children attended the school. But there is also a random element, killed complete strangers away from the school as well.

Its like watching a nightmare unfold on the Thai TV news, every update gives more horrific details. he ran random people over with his car then got out and shot them. stopped and stabbed a lady out walking. Killed 4 neighbors in his soi.

Its all over the world news, I have had 3-4 messages from UK and Australia already

Apparently one child survived, and 12 other people in hospital seriously injured. he was shooting at random people before and after the school

36 killed on Thai news now. Not sure if that includes 8 month unborn child the teacher was carrying.

The details of this are truly horrific. two and three year old toddlers, having their afternoon sleep. The teacher, who was 8 months pregnant, witnessed others being shot and managed to lock the classroom door but he kicked it in.

Apparently the shooter was recently sacked from police, yabba related, and was due to face court tomorrow for the yabba.

No its not. It takes a couple of years, costs $20k US, involves all sorts of government and private agencies in both countries, police have nothing to do with it.

I suppose if a story is devoid of actual details (as this one is), people will embellish, exaggerate and make up there own narrative. HAVE A LOOK AT THE PHOTO IN THE OP, its obvious the children have been reunited with there parents. The children have not been abandoned, they are not now living in an orphanage. The parents are not drunk, or arrested. I dare say this is nothing more than a misunderstanding, both parents probably wandered off thinking the other parent was looking after the kids, or something similar.

The short answer is no, a website cannot turn off your wifi. A more likely explanation would be you have accidently hit the button in your pocket or similar. Think about it, if an sms message is trying to get you to go to a website, so they can scam you, sell you something etc, the last thing they would want is no internet, so you cant get to the site.

Something doesnt add up when it comes to Elon Musk. He has made a car that's better than Detroit, Tokyo, Stuttgart. He has made an electric motor better than Siemens, AEG, General electric. A battery that's better than Panasonic, LG, Samsung. A rocket ship that's better than NASA. One of these achievements, I would buy into. But all of them makes me think its more to do with marketing himself.

I don't get what the story is, frogs are sold and eaten all over Thailand. I'm in Pattaya and the local wet market sells frogs.
