Popular Post Foghorn Posted January 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2023 Police already know the identity of the man who fired the M16 round at the policemen’s party and will ask the court to issue an arrest warrant for him after collecting evidence No rush only shot and killed someone , so we know it wasn’t a farang on overstay , take it easy 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one I read said that the policemen sat down and, because the policemen were being a bit noisy, one of the other customers let loose at them with an M16. The policemen then defended themselves with their sidearms. Why does anything need to be kept under wraps? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted January 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2023 "As the policemen’s party was making a lot of noise, the first group told them to quieten down but this triggered a drunken row. A man from the first group then walked to his pickup truck and returned with the M16 rifle and opened fire at the policemen’s group, who also pulled out their firearm and shot back". So he just happened to conveniently have an M16 in his pick up, remind me not to honk my horn again. 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't the cops who opened fire first and if they had had to sign in their weapons then there would've been most likely a lot more people who would've died!

Something we are repeatedly advised not to do - and that there is a powerful argument for not doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 honey ..... I'm just popping out for a bite to eat at that nice restaurant ..... can you load my M16 that's in the wardrobe and pop it in the pick up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a southern Thai province having a loaded M16 in his pickup, the man is quite possibly a member of the Volunteer Defense Corps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the shift starts at 6 am and they were tanking up for the day I have done many different shift work hours 6am to 2pm, 2pm to 10pm, 10pm to 6am. 12 hours on and 12 hours off. 12 hours on and finish when you can. 24 hours on and 24 hours off. Without knowing what shift hours were worked it is a wasted comment. My mate had a big argument in a hotel because he wanted steak egg and chips and a bottle of red wine at 10:30am as it was his dinner time. The restaurant was just finishing the breakfast serving. He got it through room service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elkski Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Seems like the m16 could have slaughtered that table before they could do anything. So was the sleeping cop on shift? This will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
