A Thai remake of the charming 1990's rom-com 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' ... same same but different ... 'One Wedding and Two Funerals'.

I bet the groom will never forget his wedding anniversary date.

[RT555]

That's why I go to the gun range (forest) every week.........Nuts like this.

[OldPedro]

"Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds".... could've been one of the best movie scenes of all time!

[mushroomdave]

Now that's one wedding day they won't forget...................

Ban guns. Simple. 

There is a fundamental aspect that you are missing here. Guns are banned here. Getting a license for one is difficult. Not like the insane free for all, in the US, where highs school kids can easily find them. Any anyone want to guess what percentage of firearms used in crimes here come from the toxic military? 

 

So, it becomes an issue of law enforcement, which is not Thailand's strong suit.

Well, most good people with good intentions, anyway. Which is the vast majority of the population here. 

 

I lived in Surat province for nearly a decade. The locals are known to be hot headed. 

[Bday Prang]

more tattoos    never far from trouble many of the "inked" community

Guns are like cars,in the wrong hands they become lethal weapons.

Yet another reported news item today that can sum up Thai culture and typical character traits in one phrase, (as reported in another Asean Now article), 

'It appears they had psychiatric problems".

 

Yep, that's right. They all have!

When their red mist descends they respect nobody or nothing! Even my 10 year old psycho Thai stepdaughter says when she argues, "She argues until she wins".

Even if that means arguing for 16 hrs one Sunday, having numerous police incident numbers against her name, draws a knife, headbangs the floor or wall, ends up so stressed and angry she hyperventilates and now has a case social worker trying to figure her out from a 'British psychology' perspective!!

I've learned the old adage is very true re: Thais..

"You can take the girl out of Thailand, but you can't take Thailand outta the girl"!

Sadly it seems to me that Thailand is going down the US route of gun Muppetry.

Why isn't the government doing anything about guns here?

Oh, because it's the police and army selling them...

Go to a wedding tooled up, what on earth could go wrong.........????

Yep. in Thailand, losing face has a big part, emotional level of children, esp men. and the there's tis, just in from the gun-killing headquarters of the world: ''Gunman kills five, including child, at Texas home''

[twizzian]

Did he honestly think wearing all those useless Amulets would deflect the bullets.

I would think he wasn’t allowed those whilst his time in jail before now.

Two unwanted menaces out of the way

[AustinRacing]

What further investigation is required?  Seems like a plot from a comedy film. Two idiots shooting at each other and both get killed!!! Glad nobody else was killed. Two morons successfully removed from the pool gene. 

[Purdey]

And where was the famous "good guy with a gun"  that we are told solves this type of situation?

Hard to believe only two had guns at the wedding.

Taking  away her phone should teach her.

Yes. You give an inbecile like these two guns, and they show their lack of judgment, maturity and humanity. Same applies to an old idiot like Andrew Lester, who seems to have shot Ralph Yarl, without asking any questions. 

 

This kid was not threatening. The old man was a sick racist pig.

Don't you mean a sick,racist thug

So far during 2023, my 10 year old stepdaughter aka 'psycho Thai', has smashed 2 of her Mum's phones when she's having her psychotic outbursts.

 

She's living in the UK at present, note at present. Hoping to get curtailment on their family visas issued by Home Office at about the same time as they fly back to Thailand for 5 weeks in July's school holidays.

From the looks of them they were fine upstanding primitives, who carries a gun to wedding.?

They probably went out with a gun all the time, not just to this wedding. Scary when you think about it.
