"I need this sword to protect myself", motorcycle man tells Chonburi cops

 

Picture: Sanook

 

A young man stopped riding a motorcycle with two other people said that he needed a sword to protect himself.

 

A picture published by Sanook showed a policeman with the lethal looking weapon. 

 

A mobile patrol had made a traffic stop of two men and a woman on a Honda Click with no license plate outside a college in downtown Chonburi. 

 

One of the three - none of whom were named - said that he had gone to Sri Racha to pick up his girlfriend who was involved in a dispute with a colleague at a restaurant where she worked. 

 

He took along the sword for his protection, he said. 

 

Charges of having a weapon in public and riding a bike without plates were made and all of those on the vehicle are being checked for drug taking. 

 

No drugs were found in their possession.

3 on a bike with no reg' plate carrying a ---- off big sword .! Not exactly setting thereselves up for success then .. 

He'd be much better off with a sharp tongue and a quick retort to protect himself, rather than a physical double-edged sword.

 

Never go to a gunfight with a sword

Its a ''ninja thing''...

From who? Someone who might overtake you or honk their horn at you?

I'm sure you must mean 'overtake you in an offensive way, or honk their horn at you in a vicious manner'?

Then retaliation must surely be needed, for causing such a serious loss of face.

 

May I recommend a shield for protection, sword....not so much

Most of the Bangkok taxi drivers carry something similar,,,,, Be warned

A bit extreme a sword is.. I also have a compact expandable baton hidden in the "glove compartment" of my scooter. Never used it so far and not planning to, but I know it's there in case of a hairy situation. All kinds of crazy bastards on the roads.

I would seriously suggest that you stick to slaying the maidens ????

 

Rooster

Just going down the coast to sort-out an issue... remove plates, bring sword !

This sounds like my neighbour Mr Wilkinson up to his old tricks again????

If they are charging him, it may be time to re think my transport situation? ????

But, your honour, he overtook me in what I can only describe as a 'supercilious manner' so, as you will understand, I had to react.
