Popular Post nobodysfriend Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) A former police officer armed with a gun and a knife stormed a nursery in northeast Thailand on Thursday, shooting dead at least 30 people including children before killing himself and his family, police said. The mass killing comes less than a month after a serving army officer shot dead two colleagues at a military training base in the capital Bangkok. And in 2020, in one of the country’s deadliest incidents in recent years, a soldier gunned down 29 people in a 17-hour rampage and wounded scores more before he was shot dead by commandos. Where does all this hate come from ? May be there is something wrong in the system .... Do , at least , not sell ammunition any more .

Don't know why he had to go and kill himself. Probably didn't want to be moved to an "inactive post"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Peterw42 Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 The details of this are truly horrific. two and three year old toddlers, having their afternoon sleep. The teacher, who was 8 months pregnant, witnessed others being shot and managed to lock the classroom door but he kicked it in. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobodysfriend Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/06/asia/thailand-mass-shooting-intl-hnk/index.html The suspect had been involved in an ongoing court case for allegedly selling drugs, according to Maj. 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad to see something like this, if someone at the school was armed I wonder if so many fatalities would have occurred. Maybe if each room had an armed guard. It likely would have made little difference. Look at Uvalde. Swat teams waiting outside the school for a hour, while the killer roamed around killing people. Sheer cowardice. Having a gun does not solve everything, nor does it make one brave. Despite what the NRA claims! One highly courageous soul could have ended this with a sharp pencil jammed into his neck. All schools have pencils. Edited October 6, 2022 by spidermike007 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
