Could've at least taken her a box or two of Pocky.

He should have stolen a pack of condoms some time ago...

7/11 tills dont usually have more than 1000 Baht in them , thats about 3 days work on a building site

Should have kept his gun in his pocket.

He could have chosen a better way to support his pregnant g/f, but I give him credit for not just abandoning her and doing a runner.

Totally agree but with the emphasis on "could have chosen a better way".

Hopefully they go easy on him.

Hope this guy gets some jail time, no sympathy from me. Maybe he might learn

that using any gun in a robbery is no joke. Go easy on him due to his age? No way!

Geezer

Well at 17 he thinks .... I am the man, what will he be like in 5 years time?

A gangster, deserves serious jail time, forget this s++t he is only 17 he is a thug nothing else.

Ahh come on Colin. He's just a <deleted> up, 17 year old horny kid who did the deed without enough common sense to wrap the champ and he exercised poor judgment a second time by trying to rob a 7-11 with a toy gun (but his body stance does look pretty threatening).

Let's give him one more chance. Maybe fatherhood will smarten him up.

Jail won't help. it'll just teach him more bad crap.
