He missed the one to the dome.

Sounds like an amateur.

[Dukeleto]

The BiB will have the perp in hand shortly. Obviously he doesn’t read news here. They find out eventually even without the victims help. They will be parading him around shortly with him reenacting the scene at the same spot.

Ahh YES! Gun control laws working like a charm once again...

[RichardColeman]

Sorry but I have little sympathy for a nationality being shot whilst their nation continues to bomb and and kill innocent children of another country

[ChipButty]

He sped away in a hurry, I bet he did, would have been quite busy around there at that time Im guessing

no sympathy from me!

[stevenl]

First he is the owner of a restaurant, then he is a tourist. Somehow I don't believe the tourist bit, though he may well have been staying on a tourist visa.

Russians are not terribly popular here at the moment.  nothing but trouble.

Then wasted another 5 minutes of your life to tell us that you'd wasted 5 minutes of your life.

I know nothing about this man or his dealings in Thailand.

Regarding Russian citizens.  It shows a basic lack of understanding when you blame

the citizens for a War they did Not vote for and many do Not want.

 

Plenty of Russians in my city that I play tennis and frequent there restaurants.  

The ones I have contact with are accepting, helpful, friendly, and I believe just want to get back to living a normal life without fighting.

 

The leaders decide if a country fights with another country or people.

The citizens wear the burden for another person's actions and agenda.

I am from the US a country with one of the largest military budgets but also

A country with a crime problem, high housing costs, high deductible and premium Healthcare, high food costs, high labor costs for Plumbing, Electrical, AC technicians, and a society of people who mostly think of themselves first, and act with few morals or values.

 

So now the perspective is a little clearer on reality.
