And that he probably knew how it might go, hence being armed and ready.

Seems to be a problem here with getting guns into the court buildings. Second time in 2 weeks; granted the earlier case involved shackled suspects which to me would be slightly more serious. if it wasn't for the two dead men in the latter case.

Seems to be no problem with getting most types of armourment into almost any government building here.
Years ago things called " metal detectors " were invented. I believe there are some working models at Suvarnabhumi, maybe the powers that be might like to have a day out to go and see them.

A more detailed report, apparently the shooter was an ex cop.

Were his opponents also packing heat?

Here’s a good idea . Let’s let people take loaded guns into a room where people have heated arguments !! 
What could possibly go wrong !!

That the metal detectors at Suvarnabumi are in working order, is just a baseless assumption......

A pathetic and flippant post that masks itself behind brevity.

The judge settled it but not with his approval so bang bang Thai style !

Had some recent personal experience with courts.  There are security guards and walk thru metal detectors at all entry points.  It was entirely optional whether you chose to walk through them.

It could even be that he opened fire before the ruling, as the time is very early and the article said he got into a heated argument with the other party.

Not a particularly small weapon

Why is it when a farang dies the serial RIPpers come out on force and the handwringers give lectures about showing respect, yet when two Thai people are murdered it is quite acceptable to make jokes?

Some truly sick minds on this forum.
