I've dealt with quite a few Thais over the years and so far none of them have attacked me and/or shot up a shopping mall. your comment based on this incident is ridiculous. Whenever there is some bad news it seems people on TV try to outdo one another with nonsense posts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docno Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Apparently, before his FB account was taken down, he had written, “being rich from taking advantage of others, do they think they can use money in hell?” Sounds like he was <deleted> at anyone he considered to be "rich" because a rich lady had (in his mind) taken advantage of him. Probably thought his best chance of finding other rich people to wreak his vengeance on was to go to a higher end shopping mall. Not a shred of rationality ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotBenz8888 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Unpaid brokerage fee made him kill 27 or more people? I seriously doubt that's the only reason, has to be more to it, mental illness, drugs etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post saengd Posted February 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2020 The loss of money is secondary to the lack of respect that not paying the money brings, the amount was quite small but the importance of paying it very high. The person who should have paid the money didn't pay, then the shooters boss seems to have agreed with non-payment, the guy got it from both ends and didn't like it, at that point it could have been fifty satang or a million dollars, there would be no difference. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assurancetourix Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Think with your neurons, if you have any. The real reason? We will never know it; authorities and their dear friends the editors of national newspapers and national TV want us to take our bladder for a lantern ... and then it will serve you what to know the why of how? There are 30 dead and many families in mourning; there is also a Thai police force completely overtaken by the event; two dead and one wounded in a military base and they let him go out quietly! No order from a senior officer to shoot him before he does more damage. Lots of gray areas in this heartbreaking story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted February 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2020 There have been mass shootings all over the world, beyond love or money there usually isn't much of an explanation. Difference being, if it happens in another country, its not usually attributed to a general character flaws of an entire country of people. This lone nutter gunman, no more represents Thai people than an American nutter gunman represents Americans. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suicide by cop? He just wanted to be like the guy who shot the 2 yr old, sick stupid ,dumb, brainless, hope he was wearing a mask when he entered the shopping mall, just another idiot, the problem being this type of murder may well develop as copycat behavior, and become frequent.

Isnt "snapped" "off the rails" etc, the very definition/display of a mental illness. The day before the incident he wasnt a diagnosed nutter, the day of the incident he had a rapid decline in his mental state. Once you display the behaviour thats not the behaviour of a sane and rational person, you are mentally unstable. Albeit a rapid decline to a visible mental illness, but still mental illness. Sane , rational, mentally well people dont snap. Edited February 10, 2020 by Peterw42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventenio Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 50,000 baht could have been his future. So they destroyed his future, and he wants to destroy theirs. I wish he could simply take 1-2 people to court and that's it....to involve innocent people at all is absolutely insane, but we are not of the same mind, age, emotions, etc.. in this world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sane , rational, mentally well people dont snap. a good analysis and explanation, however imo I think one can be as normal as the next guy and during the course of maybe a week, a month, who knows how long but he shows no indication of stress, anger, rage or any other internal desire, then after one more hicup or bad news about losing money, being shafted, then it's kabooom inside. in other words, a normal acting guy who snaps on the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably both- the shooter culd have promised someone else a portion of that money and ehen he was not paid- he could not do as he promised. In adition, he asked for the mney several times and the more he asked and not received- he lost face. Thai society is complex- confrontation in itself can be considered loss of face so Thais suppress feelings and emotions but there are times when they are unable to continue to suppress and when the anger comes out it is massive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 No. I don't buy it. Nobody would kill 30 innocent people over 50K. His problems were much deeper than that.

kwak250 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 We have let 4 relatives in my wife's family borrow 1000 or 2000 in the past and none of them have paid it back . My thoughts are they can't ever ask again so no need to ever worry . My wife gets stressed saying she will ask them obviously very annoyed I just say no don't even ask them for it then I never need to worry they want a huge amount. I can see how angry people can get on very small amounts of money . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
