waders123 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Collateral damage: It is ok to spray bullets around is a 7/11 with shoppers inside just to nail a thief take took 100 bahts of goods. Collateral damage is just the price innocent people have to pay. After all we think we got the right guy that was the thief!

And if anyone even tried to get beyond that theyd be shot instantly.

Did a little spraying on the pavement while someone took videos and photos. Five minutes later took off the suits, threw them into the back of the car and drove away (maybe to the next video shoot).

overherebc Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) My opinion only. If you want to pick a country where the gun violence is most likely to kick off go where they have the right to arm bears or something like that.

The resort's force are particularly worried about increase in snatch theft and robbery. Desperate economic times as the Covid-19 crisis widens means average citizens out of work and without money might become increasingly desperate, reported the media. Congratulations to the ruling class everywhere. You're about to make a whole new criminal class out of the citizens you've forced out of work and into a neo-Depression - coming to a country near you soon. Break out the armed police and private para-military and armed rent a cops. It will be open season on looters soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyPlatt Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Wonder how many of the comedians on this board are renting their property back home to help finance their high jinks and tomfoolery in Thailand. They just might find their rent stops and if they get ill with this virus, well thats another story. Even the 'its only the flu' comments stopped a few weeks ago when the horror show in Italy got broadcast on TV everyday. Back here in Blighty everyone seems to be taking it real serious. No exit strategy and a serious of waves forecast. That doesn't concern the hard men on this forum. Keep smiling fellas because the jokes going to be on you real soon.

SinCityGr8One Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I was in Husong's Cantina in Ensenada, Mexico and saw an armed guard in fatigues with a side arm strapped to his belt and upper thigh. Also, carrying around a pistol grip shotgun. I did not faze me one bit. Stay safe, stay armed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the government don't take care of the people then the people will take care of the government. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
