The best thing that can happen to him now is being shot and to die without suffering. Apparently, the army brought his mum to tell him to stop. That was inevitable in TL. Sadly.

That is too predictable, remember he is military trained, the best way to resolve it is with something he is not expecting or planed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 27 minutes ago, Why Me said: I would say this is nothing more than malicious rumor mongering which would be good not to repeat. I am not a medical person as far as I know there is no ethnic classification in blood types. Mine is good as yours as good as a Thais if types otherwise match. Ok, corona virus might add hoops for the donor to get through but why farang? And there is nothing at all in this whole sad affair that is farang-related per se so let's not try to insert ourselves into it. Fair enough, but it is a statement made by a person with a face, easily identifiable and plain to read on the Korat expat FB page. If he is wrong, then good. However, the person should be corrected. It is a statement that if left unchallenged can cause harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakmuay887 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Heavy firefight happened a few minutes ago followed by the solders/police yelling "clear" and many leaving the building. I'd assume they killed him 9 or so minutes ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commandos yelled all clear after a minute long firefight and have now cleared out of the Mall with ambulance crews going in. So either they killed him or he killed himself before they got to him. Not sure which. If confirmed, then good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which. A minute long? You mean 10-15 minutes with intense firing. Hundreds of bullets fired. He might be dead, but that seriously didn't sound like it went without a fight. Just wondering how on earth the hostages could escape that alive. Fingers crossed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find reports on if any hostages were released before the final firefight? He's dead for sure, they wouldn't waltz back out the door unless he was. Especially when they had him pinned down, he would have been exhausted, drained and his nerves shot to hell. Crazy to see one guy hold out so long and horribly sad to follow this all day.

expatinbangkok Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) Thairath streaming again, saying he's still alive and they aren't sure where he is.

Nakmuay887 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 If he truly did escape I have no words as to how one individual can outsmart an entire military and police force in an area that's been shut down and secured for the last 10 hours. You'd think there would be a soldier or cop every 3 feet at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overweight mama's boy, but apparently quite a Crack shot. He was killing with headshots quite effectively from some distance when this first started. I have a feeling they expected this would be easier than it turned out to be. If he's actually still alive and has escaped that's a pretty crazy blunder considering most every special forces soldier in the country has been flown in on top of the military and probably every cop in the province.

daveAustin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Very sad. The selfies and the look in his eye smacks of mental instability. If there were frustrations, it is cruel it were taken out on innocent people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakmuay887 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 He's apparently blown up another large gas tank at the back of the building which firefighters will have to deal with.

I can not find a shred of this report anywhere on any media source, and i am in constant touch with events through the local social media platforms where many know people who are/were involved myself included. I am just a few miles down the road from this mall. My wife was there just before it happened. You seem to be the only person who has this info.
