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

[Briggsy]

I strangely find myself sympathising with the murderer. I am sure I wouldn't if I met him.

 

Sleep deprivation is an unpleasant and mood-altering experience. This is made even worse when the person depriving you of sleep is acting in very selfish ways. It is one of those experiences that can really set you off.

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?

2 hours is a bit of a stretch. A Goldfish has been researched to have a retentive memory of 20 sec. max.  So guess somewhere between the two would be average.

... so his neighbor found an innovative way to de-wax his ears.

[spidermike007]

Kind of a surprising move. Most Thais do not even seem to notice noise. Unless someone else is creating it! 

 

Guess he is not going to be able to enjoy the silence much longer. He will however be able to make alot of new friends, who will make him feel right at home in his new surroundings. Good move. Smart man. Objective accomplished.

It's only self control that's stopped me from resorting to this sort of action. I don't have one iota of sympathy for the idiot who was killed. It's unusual for me to say something like that, but there it is. I hope more victims start taking action against these noisy goits because the police won't. I think a lot of them in the trucks are advertising drugs by playing the loud, base-heavy stuff, buyers just follow the noise.

 

I wish someone would take the same action down my way against the noisy dog owners too.

yes he deserved to be murdered for loud music - right ??

 

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 

I was going to ....... but then I read your signature line.

 

(Do not argue with a fool. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience)

Not the best way to handle the problem but I feel him. my neighbors would blast bass heavy music until 4am, everyday.

 

i asked security to help it didn’t deter them.

i talked to the owner of the building they didn’t care.

i also politely ask the <deleted> himself to no avail.

Finally one sleepless night I turned off the power to his room. 

That sent the message home but not for long. I just had to move.

[ELVIS123456]

1.  Rent/live in a gated community with 24x7 security and guards that keep out the noisey dogs (like the dead bloke and Amarosa).

 

2.   Keep your sense of humour - of course I and the others wouldnt kill somoene who was doing this every night every week every month ?

But that one of their own has taken this step and it might (might) make others think again ?

Take it easy smedley; he didn't really mean it.

Killing anybody is a NO GO. But if I had a gun and the courage to do it, I'd like to shoot the loudspeakers. As I'm typing this, there is a noise going on in my neighbourhood that cannot, by any means, be named music. Only very loud, deafening, humming basses... coming out of a pick-up.

Would I call the police ?   No way. There are policemen and a high military guy in the houses next to mine. They couldn't care less, like the majority of Thais do.

Thinking about the consequences of their actions isn't part of Thai "culture".

Well said - the reality is that all of us who really live/d here have had this experience in Thailand and understand how someone can get so 'angry'.

I can still remember one Hotel where they apologised for the party going to happen soon 'buyt finis 12' (after we checked in)  - music still going 4am.

And then - 6am wake up call by village 'annoubcer' in truck with loudspeakers which stopped right outside the hotel for about 10 minutes.

 

What this thread shows is that many TV posters have a senbse of humour and understand - the ones that do/have lived in Thailand for longer than a few weeks.

But clearly there are some that have never been here outside of visiting Bkk/Pats/Koh once a year or so.

And some are clearly SJWs in Mum's basement and should take their hands off it.

Is this an omen for those noisy temples with the loudspeakers?

 

for this i suggest a kalashnikov, a 22 will not do the job 

[chingmai331]

Problem with calling police and they arrive, speak to the loudspeaker boy, he turns it down and the police depart: next night the speaker boy grabs his gun and shoots the complainer.

You know the old story, truck too tall to go under bridge and half a dozen engineer's are scratching their heads trying to figure a way to raise the bridge. A young kid walks by and asks " why not take the air out of the tires?" Same thing applies here...Just shoot the radio.

[Tarteso]

More guns than Thais these days in paradise.

 

And Better...shot the radiocar!

 

[bushdoctor]

Another case of anger overcoming common sense. Somboon did not have a well thought out solution. Perhaps he will sleep better in his new cell, but it’s very doubtful.

Your first paragraph . I had the same when about new year we went to Nan . Found a nice resort nearby.  On the way home from 'er folks the place we chose had a karaoke night . We had booked in for 2 nights , next morning we left after saying we had a long day and needed sleep , They told us it was only one night . Sorry , one night or one week , bye bye.

Do all people need this bloody awul noise , most places 'till 1 am. ?

[Media1]

Well that sent a loud message.

 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.  

Yes another solution would be a piece of 3 by 2 around his earhole

Violence is not a solution, it’s a new problem.

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.  

Hmm,..this was one of the reasons I resided not to buy a house in Thailand. And travel instead !!! my wife and I travel from north to south and east to west and vice-versa all the time. if a place is bad? we move on, and when it is nice we stay longer and when we decide to move again we do that !!!

 

[bristolgeoff]

it is not a bar fight this time to be shot.just don,t  upset thais in a bar or music now it seems

[NickJ]

Should have just shot a round or two into his car. Chances are the stereo would have been damaged. Then just a fine and maybe a month in jail. Rather than 20 years.

Yeah right, the police would jump right on it and settle the issue. Of course murder is an overreaction. He should have just shot up the little punk’s stereo, blown out his tires, and shot him in the leg to make sure he got the message.

I agree. It was shocking to see 86 thanks and likes to his insane post. There are a lot of very deranged people on this forum.

 

This could have easily been handled by the police.

[MyFriend You]

Actually, I would have shot up his Truck stereo equiment, then beat him with a club, broken knees take a year to heal,  he would have done a month at most in Jail for assault and creating a disturbance.

[Guitar God]

Kind of hypocritical if he shot him and didn’t use a silencer.
