Thai man shoots his young neighbor dead because he wouldn't turn down the music

[Zack61]

Karma perhaps???

[nausea]

Feel for him, and my neighbours when I was young. If ever a mass shooting was justified it would be in this situation.The sins of the fathers are visited on the young, to the second, and third, and fourth generations. Ha!

The obvious answer is to turn on your "Beijing Opera"  and fully amplified volume and then sit back on your verandah with your shotgun in hand.  They don't like their own medicine.

Are you insane ? you have very clearly lost it along with those that "liked" your post

 

He should have called the police, it is their job to sort stuff like this out - if they fail to do so (which is likely) it does not give anyone the right to take a gun and murder someone 

It was an extreme response , no doubt about that. The perp should have blasted the sound source in the pick up to high heaven , and shot the guy in th leg or  something .. watch him bleed out slowly to Beethoven’s 5th... or 6th ? 

This case has no basis in rationality. It is bizarre. He must have had mental or drug related problems. If so I hope he is dealt with sympathetically. RIP to the  victim , and condolences to his family. Hopefully it results in some serious thinking in regards to noise pollution .

True Darcula but what about the chap who shot him , did he get his sleep that drove him nuts ?  No he did not but he never thought of that .   Can't blame him though .

And if you are taken out after passing in front of somebody “one too many times” on a loud Motto-Guzzi would that be fair ??

Does anybody even know what Thai law says about excessive noise? I can never get a straight answer from anybody and I've asked dozens of times. Nobody seems to know what the law says. That's a big part of the reason there are many disputes.

 

The consensus lay opinion of most people in my rural area is that it's acceptable to play loud music on major holidays when many families return home and reunite, as well as at ordination, marriage and funeral parties. Most people agree that people need to be considerate of one another. But there is a segment (including some police) which seems to think that before 10 PM anything goes. Almost all Thai people that I talk to seem to agree that playing loud music at your house on a routine basis is not part of Thai culture. Many express the opinion that people who do this are often drug and alcohol abusers. Underneath the greng jai and mai pen rai veneer often lurks fear of retaliation or altercation if you complain.

 

The law needs to be clarified and probably updated, and the public needs to be better educated about noise pollution.

 I couldn't agree more. Loud music can be selfish and extremely anti social but if somebody truly believes that it is a legitimate reason for a person to be gunned down, then they need locking up themselves. There is always another solution.  

 

You are quite right.

 

In such a situation I would remain impassive, calm and tolerant.........the Bhuddist way.

 

And invite Somboon for a sleepover.

Thai Culture dictates that everybody should help everybody else.  That works very well at school, where the weaker students just copy everything from those with half a brain.  But, school finished, it's just the, "Me, Me, Me" attitude.

We have noisy neighbours on both sides.  One EVERY SINGLE DAY at 5 - 8 pm opens all the doors to his pick up truck and plays his music (with heavy base) at maximum volume.

 

On the other side the neighbour has started up a wood cutting factory.  On goes the banging base music at 9 - 5 EVERY SINGLE DAY.

 

I would move house, but we only just built this one and are tired of moving.

 

The head man lives next door to me, but he does not seem to care about the constant noise.  I don't think there is a solution.  Asking the neighbours to not play the music loud will just make them loose face and get angry with us farang new neighbours.  Asking the head man I am sure he will do nothing or, just tell them it was us who complained.   Same problem.

 

We had to move house last time due to EXTREME noise.  Now its go me thinking about moving back to the UK... which I really don't want to do.  I can't believe how most Thai people don't care at all about noise pollution at all.  

5 - 8 pm??

Yea for sure ,,,, Kneecap him or break some arms and legs ,that will do it for a couple Months

Pumping lead into the subwoofers would have been more practical. But then, likely, he would have been murdered. Loss of sleep adds up and can make a person literally crazy. Sadly, I doubt he will sleep much better where he is headed.

Loud music. How about a temple that starts at 5 am or the speakers in your street that give loud noise from the municipality.

Whats funny about that?

 

I have the loud base resounding about me now as I type this.  Nowhere in the house can I escape it.

 

The 5 - 8 pm is every single day, on top of the other neighbours with the new furniture 'factory' who have base music blasting from early in the morning till 5 or 6 pm.    So I have banging base sound from 8 or 9 am till 8 pm.  You think that is funny?

What if it was your son? You would have the same view if someone shot him dead for playing music too loud? Prick deserves life without parole. 

What if it was your son? interesting question that you have asked. So now I ask you what if it was your son who is showing a complete lack of consideration and respect to the neigbourhood with the continual playing of overly loud music. Would that not show that you were incapable of bringing your own son up and in teaching him to respect people and to have consideration to others. Who is to blame? You for not teaching your son to show respect, your son for being a complete <deleted> or the poor person that is at the end of their tether from putting up with the shit from your son. To me you failed to teach your son the proper manners and you are the one who is responsible for your sons attitude, therefore you should be sent to prison.

Had a Halloween party ( it was held at different friends houses every year). Talked to all the neighbors within noise range as well invited them if the wanted to come to the party. 

 

One neighbor called the polce (its wa ps probably 10:00 PM) most of the people at the party either were attorneys, worked for court system or a police with a few of us others as well. Police came said lower the music if we come back the owner of house goes to jail. 

 

A district attorney talked to the police trying the DA influence. They said if we come back we will take the owner of house and you .

 

 

Thailand should adapt some type of restrictions when in a residential area.

I certainly don't condone murder. But at the same time, what Shady is saying is true -- the reason here people take matters into their own hands is because law enforcement is, by and large, useless.

 

Not just law enforcement. Any body tasked with enforcing rules.

Ummm.  Bad news. 

 

The average parent hasn't a clue what their son is doing when they're around the corner and out of earshot.  Many parents only find out when they get that call, either from the cops, the hospital or the morgue.

 

Claiming that they deserved that call is despicable.  It could have just as easily been your phone ringing, or a knock on your door.

HEY!!!! You are absolutely right ........... Morally...........

BUT..... Since he did what he did.... we can rejoice..... that we are now rid of 'One' Thoughtless/worthless young 'Thai Guy' Who was probably selling drugs to pay for his 'bad habits'..... And who has probably 'fathered' anywhere from 2 to 10 babies and not contributing to their support.........

Even though you are right 'Morally' (In my opinion)...... I must say that I personally see it as a 'WIN---WIN' situation where as we got rid of one 'Irresponsible' Thai guy and the shooter as well in one 'throw'...........

I just wish the shooter had been a neighbor of mine.and got a few of the 'Extra loud' motorcyclists that 'revv-em-up' as they go past my place outside Pattaya at 2-3-4 AM every day......... I have even had thoughts of stretching a 'fine wire' across the road which could be drawn up quickly as they approach in the quite of night and act as a 'hangman's noose' for them........

BUT..... I have better control of my emotions than this shooter in this post...... Thanks, MOM.... rest your soul.....

So he went back upstairs and got his .22 gun then proceeded to shoot twenty year old Chaiwat in the head, reported Sanook.

Ha, I just printed out the Thai version to place it under the windshield wiper of the idiot mobile fruit vendor who visits our Apartment block twice a day, early morning and late night. He parks in the lot and starts his recorded propaganda about his crap via a 200 watt speaker. His sales monologue is as long as a reading of War and Peace.  ? ?️??

So now he can spend a couple of years in a cell with other inmates every night. That for sure will bring a good night's sleep for those years. Well done 

 

They really don't think ahead more than a couple hours at a time, don't they?

"..of they fail to do so (which is likely)..."  Then just wound him - no need for murder. 

 

Just an alternative view point.
