Before dawn ... talks to other men , and then got shot ... I do not think that was because of a ' mobile phone deal ' ... May be illegal drugs ? Too many guns and too many gangsters . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Maybe a mass murderer and serial killer, maybe a loan shark, maybe a gun runner to North Korea? I am sure you will get to the bottom of it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 All I can say it does not look like robbery , gold chain in one hand, pendant in the other , could have been grabbed off the shooter, but sure the police have it all in hand , expect an arrest soon , as they say. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been about any business dealings that had gone sour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal people (non-gangster) dont need a gun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you on about. Many normal people have guns, for sport shooting, to personal home protection, or for there own pleasure shooting. This country is awash in guns. Just because you as a foreigner can not own one does not mean normal Thai's can not. If I could have my guns here from the states I would, but alas all of them, in two full safe vaults, sit in my sons armory at his house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I use my guns in the US for going to the range to keep my training up as far as shooting goes, and my rifles for hunting big game to fill my freezer up, now that I am living here the majority of the time they do not get used by myself and are secured safely. Health insurance is another necessity in life, is it not for you? However, you have social medicine which is free and all you have to do is wait to have your surgery if deemed necessary, where in the US the bills would be an expensive proposition without the insurance, as we seem to be paying for all the illegal immigrants and non-insured folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be American where the world revolves around you having guns. As you may or may not have noticed the USA has quite a high level of gun crime. Just thought I would tell you in case you didn't know. Having a gun doesn't translate that you are responsible to have one and it doesn't mean anyone getting a gun will not be a criminal. Look to your home country for gun crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are half correct, having a gun does not mean you are responsible. Having carried a weapon of some type daily for over 35 years, from military to my law enforcement career I can tell you that I am far from a criminal as you post about gun owners in the US. I understand that the British Bobbies do not carry weapons, but unfortunately Law Enforcement in the US does, and we are well trained in there uses. The US is not the only country with high gun crimes. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-violence-by-country The largest majority of gun crimes in the US is in suicides. As a Mental Health Advocate and Professional I know of this first hand. Edited October 10, 2022 by ThailandRyan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimamey Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I arrived at the airport on Saturday afternoon but I can't recognise where this is but then I go through here quite often and in fact I'll be there again on Wednesday and then Saturday. Google Street view is from 3 years ago and it's changed a lot since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always good to have someone to blame. If not for "them" everything would be just peachy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan O Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It should be easy to resolve now as the police narrowed it down to being either personal or business issues that cause the shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know they do but that is in general not through necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
