Man draws gun over ten baht rubber ring dispute - but there may be more to the story

A man drew a gun on Bang Saen beach after a disagreement over charges for renting a rubber tire.

 

But there may be more to the story - the people involved were relatives of an ex Chonburi member of parliament.

 

The incident happened on Saturday evening as Amornrat Chomklin and his wife were looking after a rubber tire rental business. They are relatives of ex Chonburi MP Suchart Chomklin.

 

A woman came up to ask about charges and was told 50 baht. A man shouted "why not 40 baht?" and an argument broke out.

 

As Amarin Chomklin, 40, the elder brother of Amornrat, approached the altercation turned physical and the man got out a gun.

 

He then walked round and round the area brandishing the weapon.

 

Police arrived to calm the situation but the man managed to get away in a Ford pick-up, reported Thai Rath.

 

Amornrat and his wife Noppaporn later went to Saensuk police to register a complaint claiming that the man was trying to commit murder.

 

Police registered a charge of threatening behavior and are now looking for the gunman.

I wonder how much this 'escape' cost him?

Again: Welcome to "Triggerhappystan".

A great example of the customer is always right !

The guy should have been arrested for threating people

in a public place with a gun.

He was not.

So the police officer should be fired as he let the guy get away.

way to much of this Bs in Thailand now days. :bah:

 

 

 

It must have been a Ford Escape.

ok so whats the rest of the story...

The rubber ring was a hemorrhoid cushion. 

How can police on duty enable an obvious lunatic with a gun in hand and making threats to all and sundry éscape'so easily?
