It seems like a warning, the question that arises again: what did you do Big Joke to make the fall you made and now for this?
We say that to be a good policeman you must first be an excellent criminal ... WHAT ARE YOU? WERE?

True, but he should say "senior" policeman.

What did they use? A potato gun? 

Perhaps an AK69?

If the shooter really believed target was in the car the low shots could make sense as most of us would lower ourselves below windows in response to such a threat.

So what's the motive? 

 

Sounds like a big joke to me. Riding on a motorcycle and the bullet holes were too close to each other to be believable. Quick someone: bring in the bumbling detective Colombo to investigate.

[MiNombreEsFicticious]

Thoughts and prayers for the door's family at this difficult time. Our parts are heavy.

I'm happy i live a relatively dull life - nobody wants to kill me - not even the wife

[Grusa]

Excellent grouping for a handgun, but they need to wind the sights up a notch or two if they want a bullseye.

Big Joke really has pi$$ed someone off bigtime. I wonder if even he knows who, or how.

[Scott Tracy]

Pretty good grouping. One went a little astray though.

The man known universally as Big Joke was not in his Lexus at the time. Manager reported that he was in an establishment having a massage at the time. 

Quite obviously he didn't get a happy ending.

[Lord Lucan]

Well at least the story has a Happy Ending!

Inactive posts must pay well if he can afford a Lexus!

No, he's not in an inactive post:-

 

"clerical job as special adviser in the Prime Minister's office." 

[SupermarineS6B]

"A national police chief said that the incident would be investigated thoroughly and was bad for tourism. No motive was immediately apparent"........   Ha ha, the main cause of the decrease in tourism was getting a happy ending at the time of the shooting.........  Mind you by the looks of that grouping sat on the back of a motorbike old "Big Jokes" days are numbered..........

Probably inside getting his weekly cut of the takings and a freebie.

Why?

how is an ex immigration officer getting shot at bad for tourism???

You're missing the point - guns being fired in the street, regardless of whether they actually hit anybody, is not exactly a good advert for any tourist destination - and as we all know, people have got to be nice to tourists because "we need their money"!

[Fred white]

hope he got his happy ending????

Not a happy ending for the poor man.

Does your country not do this?

Thai forensic teams are very good.

Thai forensic teams very good ?  Good job it wasn't the same team from Koh Tao, they'd of counted twenty bullet holes and dragged in two Burmese by now......... What a laugh.......

[smileydude]

Thailand is full of big toes with bigger ego’s and interests.  Step on the wrong one and your ala’ Surachate.

This is real Gambino crime territory.  He must know too much!

It's a mafia sign...just to make someone scare...They didn't want to kill him, just send a message...Can we know now why he was fired some months ago from his job..

Certain people in authority were afraid of their income stream being affected. When people in a high ranking 

job are sacked, you can bet money is involved somewhere.

[ukrules]

Maybe someone was angry because he parked his car right in the middle of the road.

???????? just wondering... if he had full body massage. 

Happy ending??????

[tgw]

a warning that's difficult to misunderstand. he must have <deleted> off some people in very high places and apparently didn't stop when they made him lose his police job.

[rocketdave]

So, he was having a massage, who says having a wank isn't good for you?

[Destiny1990]

Will he be allowed to capture his own attackers?

Only if he also has a vinyl poster board graphic/photos display to accompany him on his resulting news conference.  

 

But in this case, seriously, I suspect -- the shooters will never be known/found. Because more than likely, this shooting was not a random criminal act undertaken by nobodies.

 

[NCC1701A]

nine pages of comments and no one here knows why he was demoted?

 

just ask your Thai friends they all know why.

 

and again Twitter is your friend.
