PHUKET:-- The Patong Police Chief today confirmed that police have appealed to the court to deny bail to the Phuket police officer now facing an attempted murder charge for shooting a noodle vendor on Bangla Rd in Patong early Tuesday morning.

 

Patong Police Chief Col Sujin Nilabordi confirmed the news today (Feb 25) as Pornthep Channarong was taken back to Bangla Rd to re-enact his actions that led to the shooting of noodle vendor Aroon Thongplab early Tuesday morning.

 

Mr Aroon was shot in the stomach by Pornthep, who was off duty as a corporal with the Phuket Provincial Police at the time, while he was walking along the street after collecting a noodle bowl from a customer just before 6am.

From the Phuket News story....."Any officer found failing in maintaining discipline, especially regarding these issues, were to face “decisive action”, he said." ......like transfer to another area ????, something serious like that...

Bail should never even have been considered by anyone. It is irrelevant that the shooter, Pornthep, was a police office. He is a Thai citizen who shot an innocent person,. and needs to be held in custody pending a court hearing and sentencing, just like anyone else,.

Plenty of pork for him to munch on in the pokey.

There's an anomaly in the Phuket news story.

 

''Pornthep was under close police protection as he quickly conducted his re-enactment today on Phuket’s usually busiest tourism street'',

 

(Pornthep) ''had confessed to the shooting and co-operated well with police, though he said he was drunk at the time and did not remember the incident''.

 

So, if he was drunk at the time and did not remember the incident, how did he manage to carry out the re-enactment?

They need to put this piece of <deleted> down like a dog with rabies.

[digger70]

Col Sujin told reporters that Pornthep had confessed to the shooting and co-operated well with police, though he said he was drunk at the time and did not remember the incident . 

 

Phuket Provincial Police had both issued orders to the superintendents of all police stations on the island to “supervise officers” in carrying firearms and to “strictly monitor subordinates on drinking and behaving according to the order of the Royal Thai Police”.   

 

Any officer found failing in maintaining discipline, especially regarding these issues, were to face “decisive action”, he said.

 

How Convenient it is  Forgetting things that happened. For me ,No Excuse.  

So now the Super officer is going to run after  all of them and Monitor them hey , good luck with that one. 

So what decisive Action have they got in mind. Stay home with full Pay,Getting transferred to an Inactive Post.

They should be Sripped of their Rank for starters And Or Sacked with no pension and salary.

I firmly believe that in this life, there are certain acts which define the rest of your life, and essentially represent a self-revocation of the right to consume oxygen. It appears that this creep crossed that line, by shooting an innocent, hard working bystander, out of petty rage, and an extremely undeveloped emotional nature. 

 

The officer had gotten into an altercation just before dawn yesterday and shot a young vendor who was walking by. Surveillance camera footage show the 25 year old suddenly falling to the ground after being shot. The officer walks up and shoots the vendor at a close range, but it appears the second shot did not hit the vendor. The officer also slapped the vendor in the face, picked him up and shoved him over, and then kicked him as he lay on the ground. The vendor has a 4 year old daughter and 3 month old son. His wife says normally he works as a motorbike driver, but he was helping his mother selling noodles. He was shot while he was walking back from collecting a noodle bowl, she says.

[Agusts]

The fact that he went and slapped and kicked the guy after means he didn't realize he shot him....!, I'm pretty sure he was so out of it he thought the victim was pretending/acting out, so he got angry and went to deal with him....!!! Imagine being so drunk not realizing you shot someone...??? (I hope that's not going to work for his defence for a lesser sentence...).

 

This just shows how dangerous guns are, I think what lesson should be learned from this incident is, off duty officers, of any kind, should not carry guns... , at his state of drunkenness anyone could have picked his gun and steal it or use it,  maybe shoot him....(fat chance....! ????).

 

I doubt any lessons will be learnt though....! ????☹️

I know it's been said before, but is it really necessary for these ridiculous re-enactments... the video was clear enough for all to see what happened.

[dutchweller]

Here is a novel idea?

How about the government ISSUE weapons to the cops and SAFELY STORE THEM IN AN AMORY when not on Duty?

Instead you have low IQ morons with short tempers and alcohol abuse issues wandering around armed with 90% of the time fully loaded side arms.

Can't help but notice your complete lack of concern and sympathy for the victim. He suffered a serious and no doubt quite painful injury.

[alekth85]

Yeah, and after guns get the knives out of the way too. Safely store them in the kitchen cabinets and lock them up ! The danger of having knives around is great. And garden hoes. Durians too, those things are a killer !

 

Why just the other day, a lady killed a thai boxer with a knife to the neck, and wasn't even *drunk*.

Surely, locking up knives takes precedence ?

Looks good on paper, but I think you will find plenty of low IQ moron drunks who are not cops walking around with illegal firearms. I get the feeling that guns are as readily available here as drugs. Like most countries. Methinks this guy would have had a gun regardless of whether it was legal or not. But, yes, using your protocol certainly wouldn't hurt to discourage such things.

Though thoughtful and I am appreciative of your point, I too strongly condemn such behavior. But what about forgiveness? I noticed in your first sentence it is as though one should die? Is that implying a sort of 'eye for an eye' type reaction? I think the death penalty should be abolished and not used. Just my opinion.

Good analysis for what it's worth. For some people just getting drunk is dangerous. Plenty of people who get drunk never act like this. Others become belligerent like this guy. So lets included drunkenness as being an equal hazard. Guns and drunks: dangerous, both

Yeah, how can you not remember it? Any judge would be naive to accept that.

There is one fundamental reason to abolish the death penalty: It will invariably send a significant number of innocent people to their death due to inherent flaws in every legal system. Such mistakes cannot be undone, whereas a prison sentence and conviction can be vacated should a new trial or new evidence merit such action. The number of innocent black people wrongly convicted and lynched/executed in the US is a staggering example.

This story is nothing compared to Chicago shooting stories,yikessssssss

Alcoholic blackout is what it's called. And judges are quite familiar with it. Perhaps you have been fortunate enough to have never encountered it, but it is quite common amongst heavy drinkers. Complete amnesia as to all events occurring while drunk. With obviously tragic consequences. I have seen it at its worst, though no murders thankfully

The suspect does not need to have actually committed the crime, or have any knowledge of it to be involved in the "reenactment".  They are told what to do by the police.

 

You could probably say that performing the reenactment is actually supposedly no indication of guilt, but you have to wonder if the reason they do it is to make the suspects appear more guilty.

Nor will trying to impress them with his choice of career if the USA and UK are anything to  go by! I don't know about the USA, but in the UK, the criminal fraternity's names for the police stretch from a rather kindly, "The Old Bill" to less than complimentary terms such as , "The Pigs", and "The Filth" - treated on a par with rapists and child molesters.
