webfact Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath Bang Khla police in Chachoengsao were called after a double shooting in Pak Nam district in which a hospital employee killed two people before shooting himself dead. The incident started when the shooter, who had been drinking, had an argument with workers who had come in a cement mixer to work at a construction site causing noise. Dead at the scene was 69 year old Sompong - a neighbor. Injured with a shot to the head was a 40 year old construction worker called Suphachoke Karak from Sri Racha. He later died in hospital from his injury, reported Thai Rath.

Described as a loner who lives alone, he went back in his house where at 8 pm, with police in a standoff outside, he shot himself with a .38 gun. Bang Khla chief Pornchai Kittichayathorn said that Therdsak had been off work for three days and had been drinking outside his house when the cement mixer arrived. Suphachoke was confronted first and then Therdsak shot a completely innocent neighbor who had had no trouble with Therdsak before. The chief said that Therdsak was stressed with work and family issues. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-06-01 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

It means they arrived in one of those large trucks that carry cement in a rotating barrel on the back. It's amazing how small arguments can turn into multiple shootings here. Some people are very highly strung. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post swm59nj Posted June 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2022 USA problems coming here? No. These are all established issues of behavior that were already in Thailand. Part of the mentality, immaturity, and aggressiveness of many people here. Can be set off over the most minor issues. People act like nothing ever happens here. Maybe not mass incidents like in Korat in I believe 2020 . I guess some have conveniently forgot about that one. Watch the Thai news each day? Many individual incidents each day. Assault , robbery, murders, confrontational people. Turn a blind eye to issues here just because you dislike western countries or your own country. This place isn’t utopia. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great picture of Thai police advancing in Roman testudo formation. Should be good against arrows and spears. Love the guy at the back showing bum crack. But at least the Thai cops are willing to have a go, unlike the pussies in Ulvade Texas strutting around with cowboy hats and M4 rifles waiting for the gunman to finish his job and for young kids to bleed out on the floor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
