Aussieroaming Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I love that, cordon of an area to safeguard the public from the vehicle and then start firing at the vehicles wheels. I can't see how this could go wrong ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Just do not take drugs. Simple solution.. Running away from the law is not a great decision as well. In America, the car could have looked like Bonny and Clyde s at the end, so the guy is lucky to be in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives the "Law Enforcement/Prison Industry" many jobs and accomplishes nothing, but produces great harm - this idiotic shooting at the tires over 2 pills - extremely dangerous and pointless. Else don't be hypocrites - outlaw the drugs alcohol and tobacco as well. Edited June 6, 2022 by JimmyJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
