cracker1 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Police say "No one was hurt" ? When you send a couple of bullets into the air they come down and there is always the possibility of injury ! I think the Police should have said "We don't think anyone has been hurt," but their weapons should have been confiscated and licenses been suspended.

chillipepper Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Here in Egypt some numbnuts fired a gun into the air during a wedding. The bullet came down, hit the ground, ricocheted and then struck one of our students in the head. His life support was turned off one week later...

Srikcir Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Another double standard: Two Thai youths full of alcohol and testosterone were arrested after shooting guns into the air, allegedly to impress women and scare off rival suitors. http://www.pattayamail.com/979/news09.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazySlipper Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 GEEEEZZZZZZ.... if the driving laws, booze laws and firearm laws back home were so lacks as here, I would have stayed and become a redneck. No consequences... gotta love it. Starts in schools... no fail, no punishment for bad behavior and no good teachers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me that finds Thai law difficult to understand? Not a crazy country, not difficult to understand. The justice-based law and order system is simply a veneer allowing Thailand to appear to comply with international norms and widely-regarded ethical standards. The real Thai law and order system works on something much closer to a feudal system rather than an ethical law-based system. Patronage, connections (particularly within the public sector), wealth and status gives one a standing that can be used to advantage in a situation involving the law, irrespective of whether one is the victim or the accused. Thais know this intuitively and will form mutual assistance groups and cultivate patrons for self-protection. Put simply, if you find yourself involved in a dispute and hauled down to the police station, who are you going to call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were arrested, but later released without punishment then no double standard. Article doesn't include a punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildewillie89 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Lots of concerns re the event, lots of concerns re Thai roads (and all rightfully so). But, on the next thread it will be ''I love Thailand because my home country is a nanny state". Go figure.

Stargeezr Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Yes Thailand The Wild Wild East. I get it. Guns every where, and if you legally own it you can fire it as long as no one gets hurt. Just like it was in the West in 1917. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
