Man surrenders over clip showing celebratory gunfire

By The Nation

 

 

A man accused of shooting celebratory gunshots into the sky in Nakhon Ratchasima’s Pak Chong district on the New Year’s Eve, in an action that resulted in a viral video clip on social media drawing a great deal of online criticism, surrendered to police yesterday morning.

 

Anucha Sukkaew, 24, turned himself in at the Pak Chong Police Station at 9.30am and said he had been drinking with friends at a countdown party at a house located next to Mitraparp Highway in Muang Pak Chong Municipality when he took out his father’s gun and shot it into the sky four times. 

 

He said his younger sister had shot the video clip and posted it online.

 

Pol Captain Prayong Wangkulklang said police had initially charged Anucha with possessing a gun and ammunition without permission and firing a gun at home or in public.

Wild wild east.

He's an idiot. His sister is just as big an idiot for posting his a video of his crime online for likes.

Yeah..she's in for a family beatdown when they get back to the house.

Bring back the pillory !

 

 

Stick one outside every police station (  in the shade and with a seat )

and make certain crimes punishable by 8 hours locked in one with a suitable placard describing the offence.  Plus the usual 500 baht fine of course.

 

 

 

 

Well done.

 

 

One down and   another 2 million to go..

Probably so drunk he tried to shoot someone but missed.

The allure of illusionary fame and “likes”. 

 

 I’d bet he encouraged his sister to post it.

Could have been. No interest in 'responsibility'

Obviously, his brain left with one of the 8 bullets.

Make'em like the UAE Army does.

 

It's a rebar cage sitting on cinder blocks in the HOT sun without shade.

 

I actually saw a guy locked in one of those once about 20 years ago.

I am sure they were just blanks. 

Let's hope the publicity this idiot received makes some more idiots think twice. Police can't stop this as long as idiots have guns. It was good of this idiot to turn up to police to admit he was an idiot. 

A post using a derogatory slang comment directed at Americans has been removed, it was off topic baiting anyway. 

I seen an article on Thai TV, where there were bullet holes in roofs, car windshields,

and other parts of a few venicles. The most guns in Thailand contain real bullets.

Blanks are not that easy to buy compared with the real thing.
