An armed clash between two youth gangs in Chanthaburi province on Tuesday ended when a man who tried to intervene got caught in the crossfire.

 

Early on Tuesday, police responded to calls and showed up at the shooting site in Pak Saeng fruit market to find Thammarat Suntorn, 34, with several gunshot wounds and a left hand that badly damaged by a bomb. He was immediately taken to Prapokklao Hospital.

 

Police collected 12 bullet shells and a few grenades as evidence.

 

According to witnesses, the two gangs began fighting at the market before Thammarat showed up to break them up with a grenade in his hand to threaten them with. However, he was caught in the crossfire, and the grenade in his hand exploded.

 

Thammarat had been arrested in 2015 for gun possession and attempt to murder, but managed to escape. He will be detained once he recovers.

What thoughts could have been passing through the man's brain?     Carrying a hand grenade?

 

 

It seems, with the pin removed!

I am sure glad the gang activity here is almost entirely Thai on Thai. Not like in the PI, where alot of guys will mess with you as a foreigner, just for sport, or out of desperation. 

 

Otherwise, these tussles are simply Darwinism. They are what they are.

Note to self: Never show up to a gunfight holding a hand grenade in my left hand ....

Addition to note:

Never show up anywhere holding a grenade.

Passed the masters degree in diplomacy.

Actually this was the crowning achievement for his Masters Thesis. 

It may cast doubt on his thesis defense arguments.
