A near-fatal incident occurred when an armed teenager confronted a coconut gatherer, only to have his firearm malfunction, sparing the victim‘s life.

 

The incident was caught on video and shared on social media by a local shop owner. The victim and witnesses have reported the incident to the local police, but claim that the authorities have shown little interest, leading to public discontent.

 

A 24 year old shop owner, who goes by the pseudonym A, from Ban Rai, Damnoen Saduak, Ratchaburi, yesterday shared a video of the confrontation.

The video showed a group of teenagers on motorcycles blocking the path of the 23 year old victim, (pseudonym Cha) who had just arrived to pick up workers for a coconut gathering. One of the teenagers, identified as Games, approached Cha, and shouted at him.

Disgusting police work again.

And the message to little Games is perfectly clear. When you point a gun at someone, you must be prepared to kill or die.
