webfact Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thai police could show "Spiderman" a thing or two as "gold robber" taken down Thai police caused quite a stir at a Chainat branch of Tesco Lotus yesterday as they took down a gold shop robber with a net. No shots were fired and the robber was safely in custody due to the skills of the cops. He had earlier robbed the shop, taken a hostage with a "sparta" knife and demanded to be provided with a getaway motorcycle. Police reasoned that he must give up the hostage first and when he did they pounced with net and poles pinning the hapless robber to the hot daytime concrete outside the store. Fortunately it was all a drill by Chainat station chief Pol Col Chatphimuk Meemuk to test the readiness of his men. Sanook said that it was better than cartoon hero Spiderman renowned for keeping his city safe with magical powers.

Something Spartacus would use, the BiB were just following on the Roman gladiator theme by using their nets. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post canuckamuck Posted July 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2018 This is crap, I have seen Spiderman put a giant passenger ferry back together with webs after it had been cut in half by a lazer or something. And then he held it together while Ironman welded it. No way the cops could pull that off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the cops could pull that off - well the ferry anyway, if it had been Thai welded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
