One way ticket to the mental hospital he has a nice car for a thai person as well

Mentally ill, on drugs, who knows? The next scary thing is, he will probably keep his driving license...

I didnt think the Police handled this serious & unpredictable situation very well. They seemed scared & looked as if they didn't know what to do.

Between the car, the adoration and pictures, and with what he was shouting perhaps they were....

Police just standing there like pussies, why did they not shoot the nutter?

In a public place like that with hundreds of witness's - you reckon?

 

They were also probably scared, the guy has a pretty expensive motor meaning wealth.......unless is just the driver?

You were doing great till your last sentence. But hey, its all right to be ignorant about American policing if you dont live there

 

I live here.  He's not far off.

 

Examples of Thai men's lack of maturity a daily event in LOS. Some clown sold him a new Merc though!

As a side note, he most probably was on ya ba; are some of you 'pro druggies' really sure about blanket legalization?

 

Just as likely it was demon rum.

 

But I doubt you advocate outlawing booze.

So the cops just let motorbikes drive right next to and past a guy with a machete and snakes in his hands. 

 

Not a clue how to adapt to a dangerous situation.  

They're  there solely to clear up the mess  afterwards, that and collect money.

Central World is the target of center attention very often for criminals

Nice car. Next... 

Aaaahhh! Those yellow shirts...!

What has he done to the poor car ???

As for him I am going down the Yabba dabba doo route and bet he's on a wanted list somewhere !!!

Probably less dangerous than driving on a normal Thai road. 

Couple of biscuits short of a package

Wonder how his driving skills are...

Thailand sure has some entertaining buskers (street performers). 

 

 

 

Busker busted?

 

Let's be positive about this "incident" - it makes the rest of us feel normal.

This was a potentially dangerous situation. Snakes, a knife wielding nutter, rush hour with motorbikes weaving around. Without a taser, the police, should in my view, have shot to maim...not to kill...then they could have arrested him easily.

 

Perhaps, with hindsight, the police will acquire tasers.........Lets have a committee and see how many millions of baht each one will cost!

Exactly correct, as i posted police should have shot him, as can be read in my post i never said shoot to kill.

Yet a few people on here getting their knickers in a twist, without reading my post correctly.

Those 'nice cars' are used as simple taxis in Germany. Oh, the loss of face if the hi-so Thais knew what they were driving 

Lock this idiot up with his snakes and chuck the key before he hurts someone.

In my view, they dealt with the situation without the need to use firearms. Using guns is the pussy's way out.

Because they aren't American and have other ways of ending a situation without killing someone. That takes more skill than pointing a gun and firing at someone, a skill that many country's police forces have. Even the Thai police, it seems. The result was that no-one was injured or killed here, including an obviously mentally disturbed individual who did nothing more than hold up traffic for a while.

And wave a large knife around, and do something ?( unspeakable) with a Snake...

 

Yea, nothing.

 

That said, perhaps he's a Snake Handling Pastor...?

I am not a gun person - where do you shoot someone without having the potential to kill? 

Remember the old movies had stuff like that in - is it true? "just winged him" they never say he bled to death after or died of shock

Do you think he was really a danger to the public? He wasn't attacking anyone, just ranting.

Tasers. I saw a man 'tasered' last month in NZ, Wellington, about 15-20m from where we were waiting to cross the road.

Three shouted requests from police to 'get down on your knees' had no result on this man, who was at a guess on methamphetamine or similar, dancing and boxing at shadows between vehicles at traffic lights.

Very effective, dropped him very quickly and they were able to handcuff him without further problem. 

 

That's me after divorce is finalized.

some loony bin lodgers' songkran leave of absence was extended, apparently.
