Popular Post Manger2 Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 I am truly heart broken over this senseless and demonically evil crime against innocent children and adults.I live in Isaan and see on a daily basis the struggles and pain folks have to endure to eke out a living.Their whole lives evolve around their families and they take comfort and pride in their families as they live a simple life geared toward providing for their children and loved ones. I cry for the anguish and pain those survivors have to endure as they try to make some sense of such a horrific and evil and traumatic event which has been cast on them I pray that their God comfort them in their terrible grief and agony and tell them that their innocent children and loved ones are in Paradise and will be there for all eternity waiting for their loved ones to join them for all eternity. Please, if anyone knows of a reputable charity or organization where you know your contribution will go to the families of the deceased, please share the info so I can contribute some money to these poor and loving and hardworking families whose lives have been shattered and loved ones torn from them from an evil which is so hard to comprehend. God please help these families and give them comfort. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sumongkhwai Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) Wife tells me that the guy who ran/owned the pre-school was a big boss in the area. The shooter had asked him for help with his job and court. Big boss said he couldn't help him because of the yaba issue so he wanted to get revenge against the big boss. Freakin coward.

Popular Post Stargeezr Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 What a horrible thing for this ex RTP to do. I guess in this country, the RTP do not get disarmed when they get fired. I wonder if that will change in the future? If this guy was also a drug dealer, maybe he should have already been in jail. Not a good day in Thailand. RIP to all the poor innocent people who died, especially all those small children. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen. Jirapob Puridet of the CIB. He had appeared in court in Nong Bua Lamphu hours before traveling to the nursery and “opening fire while the kids were sleeping,” Puridet said. Puridet told CNN the former officer was dismissed from duty and “charged with selling narcotics” last year. Gun ownership in Thailand is relatively high compared with other countries in Southeast Asia. So this horrible incident could have been prevented if he was denied bail? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamfalang Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I'm a little surprised this story isn't bigger worldwide. Yes, I know, there was a mass stabbings in Vegas (USA) and 20 killed in Mexico (mass shooting) and it seems like we are getting more used to all this senseless violence. My Thai "friends" (acquaintances) are pretty quiet. They are certainly not the American type screaming for answers, blaming, wanting solutions immediately....but after talking with them I'm sure they are worried about the future. I can tell. They have kids. It's too bad there isn't a "safe country" you can go to. The internet will tell you one place is super safe, but it's not. Gotta play the odds. I have to remind myself that many people are on the edge, still, after COVID. I'm not on the edge, but I need to remember others might be. Next time someone walks in front of me at Big C and stops for no reason for the 100th time.......well, I'll do my best to smile and go about my day. Drugs are now so cheap here it might be their escape while the falang drinks beer to forget. Well, Yaba and beer are not the same. Yaba is a big problem in my town, but I'll be traveling again in a few months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongalulu Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 10 hours ago, dj230 said: Thanks for the insights, I will write a letter to my police station and let them know to carry pencils instead of firearms Right because calling everything a myth will solve everything. Plenty of news reports, stories, videos of people defending themselves with firearms against criminals. Common sense should be enough to understand that having a firearm to defend yourself and others is going to result in a higher probability of survival versus not having one in a massacre like this. The only ones who will be negatively impacted are the victims. I think if you had a friend or family member at that school, you would think differently. Now all you have to do is quote those similar institutions where there were arms present and a mass shooting was prevented… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be so exceptional for USA News, but it is a very unusual event here despite gun ownership being quite common. The wails of parents was rather upsetting. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random drug-testing, is a standard procedure for critical/sensitive jobs. It seems the problem lies with follow-up procedures by government. Complacency is common to humans, but it is good to know some of the 'facts' about the motive. In reality, these crimes are rare and are sensationalizied by media. Illegal drug overdose, illegal drug sellers, kill far more children, teens and adults every year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya Spotter Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) My latest figure is 36...no words ???????????? The attack on Thursday ranks as the worst mass shooting by a sole perpetrator in Thailand’s history and exceeds the death tolls of the deadliest school shootings in the United States. Twenty-six people, including 20 children, were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, and 19 children and two adults were killed in Uvalde, Texas, in May.

His bloods will be analysed and the results available in 4-6 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
