another incel on the loose! 

How can someone be an Incel at 14, I do not think you know what the word actually means, no doubt you throw woke around as well without knowing what it means?

There's some video footage on twitter of the kid surrendering.

Very brave police officer who deserves full credit and a immediate top level promotion.

Agreed.  The copper appears to be on his own.

The horrific and tragic incident confirmed on all media sources. A 14 year old seems to be the killer on this shooting in Bangkok. It would not have attracted a second glance had it been in the USA or some major European metro. But here in Thailand....very bad image and very tragic for any potential victims.

It certainly would have in the UK!!!

CNN news just said three people were killed

Heard the shooter was inspired by the US mass shooter - the one in army fatigues that carried a sub machine gun .. can’t remember which one but that is why the shooter also dressed in army fatigues. Mental problem

Seems to be a 14 year old rich kid, judging by all the details on Twitter. 

 

People are sharing his ID card and his Dad's employment details

I've read many times that, based on population, Thailand has double the number of gun deaths compared to the USA. In Thailand, though, where we are told in books and TAT literature that families are so close, the shootings are usually family-related.

Very tragic. Thankfully not commonplace here, like in loony tunes America, where they seem to adore violence. Yes, I am American. I can admit to a nation in severe decline. 

 

Let us hope Thais have more decency that this. So far so good. Lock this cretin up with adults and let him learn the hard way.

Sure they can. "He watched too many American movies and listened to American hip-hop artists. Foreigners are ruining the culture of Thailand."

More than likely, however we need to look at why these things happen and why incels feel the need to do this. With how prominent social media and 'self image' has become in society, certain individuals come to feel as if they are worthless. Add into the mix potential psychopathy and other mental elements, this sort of thing will only become more frequent. I remember life before social media, and I really don't want to forget what it was like. However those days become more and more hazy in my memory as time goes on.

there was that one rich mixed race Asian kid that went on the shooting because he couldn't get girls and the media started using the term with everyone for some reason. Makes no sense most of the time.

Ask anybody in the world to cite a mass random shooting like this one in public in Thailand. Nobody will be able to answer. Ask people for similar mass shootings in the US and any tuk tuk driver with below-average english skills will nevertheless have a situation to refer.

learn to read and fastcheck other press or social media on any hot topic. it may avoid you asking such questions and making a 000 of yourself.

Too easy for Thais to get guns. Plus, with the loss of face thing, and the way some of them can blow their top at the slightest perceived slur, I am surprised it doesn't happen more often.

That's because no-one in the world gives a rat's fart about Thailand. Check the number of people killed by Muslims in Thailand's south compared to the number who died on 9-11, for example. But anyway, those with a memory will remember the police officer, guardian of the peace, who murdered 22 children in a nursery, and the soldier, guardian of Thai people's freedom and security, who murdered 29 in a shopping mall.

Simple question. No idea why you don't want to answer it.

Everybody with a phone triggers the metal detectors. They are useless.
