Guess he got cut down instead of a close shave.  Insanity.

The boss's rules a little excessive.

I definitely do see a role for him in Khun Prayut Army!

A tad extreme....

  It's sad to see a life ended and another ruined.

I've been here going on fifteen years now, lost count of how many times I have been told I can't park in front of a shop. As much as it irks me I just move on, things can get out of hand much more quickly than most people think here.

Territorial over piblic parking spaces. Many folks think they own the road in front of their shop or house.

Yep, many times I've been told by the Mrs not to park somewhere, I used to argue the point but realised fairly quickly I was on a hiding to nothing, so now I let her suggest where's best ???? after 10 years all I want is a quiet life ????

But, then he was only living up to his boss instructions.

[Troy Tempest]

Maybe he should have parked around the corner instead of taking a "Short-Cut" at the Barber's???

This place is getting more America every day!

[Aussieroaming]

Sounds like numbnuts was watching the Terminator while he was guarding the car park.  What an excessive response to a parking violation.

But rules are rules even if a madman is making them. Just look at Russia so many people are following a madman, and we all suffer.

But what a great work ethic this guy has!  He does exactly as his employer commands.

 

Why would he have had a shotgun at work at a Barber shop??

 

My wife is often warning me to 'calm down' because of the crazy people - it seems this shooter is one of them.

Even the guard at my local KBank branch has a gun.

 

Years ago when I worked in Lahore, Pakistan there were several guards outside of all the banks armed with automatic shotguns.

I can (sort of) understand a guard at a Bank with a gun - but a Barber shop?

Two mass shooting incidents  in USA and 5 killed  in a mass stabbing in Germany and NOBODY parked in the wrong  place

[internationalism]

unbelievable.

were drugs or girlfriends/wifes somewhere involved in this story?

if drugs were sold there and under police protection, investigation won't take this lead

[Sticky Rice Balls]

is the shop named Sweeney Todds?

Yeh...is too.  We got our new  car keyed both sides when we parked in front of a shop, for 15 minutes, on a public road with no parking restrictions.

 

Another time we parked the car at a shop as we actually wanted to use the shop (we were going to buy an air conditioning unit) amAs we were closing the car doors an old woman came running   out shouting at us and waving her arm about yelling that we can not park there.  So we just drove off.....her loss.

See, he was only doing his job.  You don't want him to be fired, do you?

I thought only Americans shot each other of parking spaces.

 

 

[Skeptic7]

And yet another! Wow...rampant here. 

[Excel]

Its a shame that in Thailand no one actually ensures that the public highway or footpaths are not "claimed" as their own parking or business spaces by business owners.
