Grumpy John Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 It's a shocking state of affairs. I can understand hatred for corrupt politician's, for wealthy people who gained wealth corruptly but I see no logic to what this maniac has done. What kind of twisted mind can lead someone to do this??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he took care of the problem first, as it is reported he went to a house and killed two people there. then returned to his base and got more ammo and a new gun.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often when someone sees a lifetime of work, or generations of family wealth, stolen by corruption. If this happened in another part of Thailand, we'd be reading about an "insurgent". Leading me to wonder for a long time, how much of the southern insurgency is really a reaction to government corruption, by someone who's given up on all legal means to get justice? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyril sneer Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 anyone can apply for a gun going through the application process, problem is the cost of the gun is double the price in comparison to the illegal ones, so many choose this option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'expert armchair' opinions and all around moon howling by tomorrow. Cue the next 'this will be the death of Tourism in Thailand' thread. Interesting that there hasn't been a news blackout on this for 'reflecting badly on the country'. Ch7 has been reporting this- there would have been a complete shut down on something like this a few years back. The power of social media strikes again. Lets sit back, take a deep breath and see how things develop before donning the tinfoil hats chaps. More people die on the roads each day in Thailand than in this (hopefully) isolated incident. He's bound to have been slighted in some way and gone postal as a result. Man you are one bitter and twisted pessimist. YOU happen to be the first one to mention any of that nonsense. ALL the other posts have been pretty much on the mark with the events unfolding. Edited February 8, 2020 by Brewster67 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 16 minutes ago, BritManToo said: Mostly lawyers, judges, government workers and police ..... but you're right there's probably a few lowlifes in that bunch. But as far as I know if a Thai wants a legal gun, he just needs to fill out an application form at his local police station. My gf tells me if you want an illegal gun, you just ask a policeman if he'll sell you one. Once i asked my friend (senior policeman) where i could buy an air rifle to kill snakes...he started calling around but i never got one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
