snoop1130 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 A suspect in a double shooting at a popular establishment in Chachoengsao province has turned himself in to police at Plaeng Yao Police Station and revealed his motives for the crime. Thirty-two year old Natthaphon, whose last name was withheld, explained that the incident occurred due to an altercation at a live entertainment venue in Plaeng Yao on June 18. He later handed over the weapon used in the crime to the police. Natthaphon told police that he was provoked by the victims after an incident involving broken glass in the venue. He confronted the group, leading to a physical altercation where he was attacked by one of the men. In response, Natthaphon drew his gun and fired at the man, subsequently shooting another man who tried to intervene. He then fled the scene. The owner of the entertainment venue has been charged and brought before Chachoengsao Provincial Court while provincial authorities are considering further administrative actions. The venue has remained closed since the incident, reported KhaoSod.

Thai culture na khaa. "Save face"? Who knows where it was heading? The article says he was attacked.....he could have had four or five on him in a second, and having his head kicked in a few seconds later......."you know what they're like". Were you there to assess the situation? Were you there to help him out? No point in being better equipped if you are not going to use the advantage that the equipment gives you. But I hope I would have had the presence of mind to shoot the guy in the foot or knee, rather than kill him. I guess you have to practice for that sort of thing.

That a defence for carrying an unregistered gun or going out and deliberately getting into a fight as a defence for killing someone ? (not saying that is the case here, just a point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
