The mass shooting incident in Thailand, happened previously this week, at the Child Development Center Uthaisawan in Nong Bua Lamphu Province resulted in the deaths of 37 people, including 13 adults, 24 children, 10 injured and 6 seriously injured.

 

According to the Royal Thai Police, the gunman was identified as Panya Kamrab, a 34 year-old former policeman who was suspended from police duty in June 2022 under drug possession charges.

 

On October 6, 2022, “the attacker went to look for his two-year-old son, but the boy was not there … so he started shooting as well as stabbing people at the nursery,” police spokesperson Maj. General Paisan Luesomboon told CNN.

 

More victims of the tragedy include Panya’s wife and their step-son as he killed them both before taking his own life.

All of the above!

There are plenty of laws. There are plenty of policemen in a large paramilitary police force, with many layers of command and no lack of resources, to enforce them. What is lacking is a will, intention and competence to enforce those laws.

 

Couple that with a preoccupation with using their powers, resources and presence not with protecting the communities which they serve but with self aggrandisement ant self enrichment.

Thai law sometimes seems to be quite ' flexible ' depends on the connections and money someone has ...

It is a feature of the"culture" which drives those in positions of authority rather than, I suggest, society itself. For example, just up the soi from me in my village an old man (85) lives with his sons. He has Alzheimers. Last Wednesday he wondered off, he was missing for 4 days, found alive yesterday. The police did absolutely nothing, continuing with their normal duties of manning the usual temporary vehicle check points in the usual places ( which are invariably reported on Line as soon as they set up, and therefore avoided), sitting outside the new gold shop near the police station and so on. A major search was launched by the locals, ( I and my dog helped) several dozen volunteers searching day and night, until they found him. Police just filled in a report.

 

Similarly the classic reaction to the CNN team wrangling their way into the nursery massacre sight. Yes what they did was wrong, disgraceful even, so revoke their (tourist?) visas and turf them out. But now we have an interdepartmental squabble between the brown uniforms (police) and the khaki uniforms ( civil servants) as to who controls the scene; which can only detract from investigating the awful business and preventing anything like it happening again.

Now how the heck did he deduce that ?  

Thai law has no enforcement because those who are supposed to enforce it, lack the education and know no other way, but to look for an easier solution, e.g. money, no paperwork involved, carry on, nothing to see here, no accountability.

 

Just remember all of those cops, and the like, went to schools here where there is no punishment for failing, in other words, no one fails, everyone passes, whether it's through bringing the teachers a pot with a plant in it, a broom with a tray, or painting classrooms, plus we all know money changes hands as well in some schools. I am talking from personal experience, seeing this 1st hand, and hearing of what others have done to pass.

 

There is their failure, the punishment is minimal, so it's a pass, this is engrained in the culture, and is exactly what happened with this lunatic, in other words, if you don't discipline kids from young, show them the right way and that there is punishment for failing, then they will look for the easy way out.

 

This is really a disgrace to me to see a culture raise their kids in this way, no real guidance in my opinion, and this is why you see most of them loose it at the end of the day.

 

No Thai bashing, it's my opinion from 1st hand experiences and from what I have heard from other farangs who have kids here, I will add, Thailand is probably not alone just to be fair and before I get a few loose canons here calling me a Thai basher 

Accountability

Thailand should have laws as in the us. There are no mass shootings or shootings and killings every day
