GreasyFingers Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Looked at the video on one of the News channels, obviously after the shooting. Some in the crowd were still fighting amongst themselves while police in uniform stood by and watched. Looks like it is not their job to stop fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post swm59nj Posted September 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have known people that own legally bought guns. They don’t go around committing violence. And here people with the so called ego and culture issues are using illegal guns. From what I see on Thai news programs. There seems to be quite a bit of gun violence. For a country where owning a gun is supposedly illegal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andycoops Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 The wild wild West of Thailand in Isaan. Many years ago we had youths from another village pitch up at a festival and I saw at least 2 holding pistol's at the side of our temple. I told the police and they chased them off firing a couple of shots over their heads for good measure as they fled across the paddies. Caused quite a stir for a few days after too. Never had another incident since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I avoided such events after a certain hour, if attending at all. Just for that reason, as too often gangs and gun play were the norm later in the evening. Same with the yearly December's 2week festival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
