AN UNKNOWN GUNMAN yesterday (May 3) allegedly pointed a handgun to the head of one of a Palang Pracharath candidate’s campaign employees in Buriram, telling him to give it up for his own life, police said.

 

The unidentified motorcycle-riding gunman wearing a black jacket and a helmet accosted and stopped the pickup truck mounted with electoral campaign signs and loudspeakers on a road in the lower-northeastern province’s Baan Dan district which is part of Constituency 1.

 

Manit Santhi, who has been employed as one of the truck drivers running campaign errands for the Palang Pracharath contestant, namely Jetsadakorn Khiannilsiri, rolled down the window of his parked vehicle as the gunman quickly drew his revolver and aimed it at his head in point-blank range.

And some take their politics extremely seriously....

I wonder how long until Thai people get a 999/911 type of service from police.  This whole, walk into the station long after the event to report it, then wait to see if anyone takes any interest, then wait for a warrant to be issued, is pretty sub-par public safety wise.

Nothing to do with politics.

It's all about the noise these employees unleash at all hours, I just show them the garden hose.
