 The guy doesnt move like he was trained, he moves like a video game wannabe.

I would disagree

 

He shoots like someone who is if not well trained then well practiced.

 

A normal person does not double tap multiple targets all in center mass or head shots especially under

pressure/excitement of such a moment. 

 

If I were looking for this guy I would first check all nearby shooting clubs for shooters who compete

regularly in IPSC type practical shooting competitions

My answers to some things

 

he shot the people at the counter just to clear them out of the way- that is how it looks to me.

 

Use of supressor - either it came with the gun and he did not know it could be unscrewed ) unlikely given his firearm proficiency) or more likely it came with the gun and he knew suppressed shots would not alert any police or security in the vicinity thus increasing his chance of a successful robbery - arguably he might have had it fitted for this reason.

 

Shoot to kill order - hehas gunned down 5 people without a qualm including a 2 year old and a schoolgirl. Police cannot be expected to put their lives at risk by not taking the first shot if the opportunity presents - especially in view of his seeming firearms proficiency.

 

Real motive other than robbery - I would have thought it would be an unpleasant but necessary part of the investigation to check if the counter staff had a relationship problem i.e. the jealous male murdering his ex as has happened - only this time afforded the opportunity of covering that with a seeming robbery.

Such an order as "shoot to kill" could be grossly abused. It sounds much like "shoot first, ask questions later".

I'm guessing that a hundred thousand (or five hundred thousand) baht reward would cause this scum's identity to surface PDQ.

Anyone who knows Thailand knows many machine shops exist that can manufacture one

Since its off topic, I wont respond except to say, on a 9mm pistol, recoil booster.

 

Anybody who wants all the technical aspects, pm me.

Well Kwaibah, you gave me a sad emoji, I assume becasue I say he needs to be captured and interrogated?

 

Well he had a Can on the pistol. Where did he get a Can (which are usually European or American or Chinese made)?

 

How did he chose that shop?

 

How was he planning to unload the gold?

 

Where did he get the gun?

 

Ordniary robbers dont attach cans to their guns. The USA has thousands and thousands of legal Suppressors and virtually none are ever used in crimes. Robbers dont rob with cans. Why was this guy using one?

 

Arent those questions worth answering in a proper investigation.?

 

 

Yes they are

While one shouldnt rule that out, like in the USA, folks who participate in that type of sport dont usually go out and kill folks.

 

He doent move like a practical shooter at all regardless

Many machine  shops who could make and fit a  sound supressor  in Thailand.  Or probably just a slight increase  on a black market gun.  There is still noise just not so much and can fool people  so they ate not sure its gunshots. Seems smart to not want  to alert everyone in the whole mall and outside.   Seems  a shoot to kill order is just a political stunt.  If a person resists arrest or shows a gun wouldn't he she  always be shot by police?

  Such a sad story.  Yesterday I looked at all the gold and jewelry shop workers different.    Similar to how my outlook changed for UPS drivers in USA after that failed jewelry heist.

From where I come from its always been referred to as a "Silencer" In fact, in every movie I have seen where someone refers to it I have never heard it called anything else but a silencer. As most movies come out of the USA its strange I have never heard it called anything else but you learn something every day I guess.

This my understanding of the other words you mentioned.

Can - Something food is preserved in for long periods or a prison.

Muffler - Car or Bike Exhaust specifically the part that reduces the exhaust pipes noise

Maxim - Machine Gun

Well try not to get your entire world view from TV or movies then ????

Moreover, now that this has been made public, there is nothing holding him back making more victims if ever a policeman makes himself known to him.

The man who committed that crime deserves to be shot, but giving police orders shoot to kill is wrong.

So any policeman who has a grievance against someone, shoots/ kills, then says ohh sorry i made a mistake, frightening thought.

But they need to start shooting from the ankles up,  slowly

I was trained to use the force necessary to affect the arrest. Deadly force was used only when my life or the life of another was in danger. What passes for law enforcement here is pathetic at times, and if a senior Thai authority issued such an order, it is equally pathetic. 

If you read the whole article, and not just the headline, it actually includes 'if he resists arrest'.

If you actually believe what you wrote then it's your comments that are frightening.

I agree with the shoot to kill, but not if they don't know who is obviously. A reward might be better. Dead or alive perhaps.

Yes, a big reward would bring joe public into the running, let’s face it this action disgusted the whole nation , everyone wants to bring him to justice, just increase the desire to “shop” this guy with a huge reward   !!

That backpack is distinctive, the scooter also ( could be stolen of course ).

Someone knows this guy or suspects a neighbour or friend of a friend etc.

Get the public on board !!

Giving police permission to kill on sight never works out well.

How many innocents have been killed by trigger happy fools, with a license to kill, in Duterte's or Thaksin's anti drug wars, or in Mexico, Brazil or New Mexico.

This scum has not been identified or even have a physical description. He must be caught, interviewed and conclusively found to be the killer before being put down. Hard to do so with a bullet at that stage.

A Sound Supressor in Technical Lingo, a Muffler or a Maxim in Historical Lingo, a Silencer in comic book/hollywood lingo, a Can in MIlitary/LE Lingo

Ahh righto, yeah they are easily found in Thailand, I know a few thai guys with them on their pistols.

My concern is they could shoot anybody and claim they got the perp. Tell me they are looking at CCTV of motobikes like that coming and going from the local military compound. Shoot people with a bike like that, okay, maybe you got the right guy and maybe it was a Myranmar on an unluckely ride.

Where are the drugs now? Oh wait they came back after he was exiled.

Exactly. Thousands killed, including an unknown amount of innocents, for no result.

Are you advocating the mass slayings should be ongoing?

The police have been ordered to track the robber down and to shoot to kill if he resists arrest, according to an informed police source quoting Pol Lt-Gen Amphon Buarupporn, commissioner of the Region 1 Provincial Police Bureau

That's him done then, he won't be going inside !

A bigger question is why he chose to shoot and kill innocent people. AFAIK there was absolutely nothing to gain by it.
