Sattahip —A Thai teenager was arrested while trying to smuggle multiple knives into a Sattahip movie theater to watch “4Kings (Part 2),” a film portraying violent culture among vocational school students in Thailand.

The suspect, whose name was withheld due to his young age of 17, was arrested at the entrance of a movie theater at the Big C department store in Sattahip district, Chonburi province. According to Sattahip police, he was about to enter the cinema to watch the movie “4Kings (Part 2),” screened in the evening of December 4th.

 

Police received a tip from the cinema’s security staff that the teenager was carrying knives into the cinema. Upon inspection, the police found a 6 cm-long chisel, one sharp-tipped metal rod measuring 23 cm, one folding knife, and one box cutter in the suspect’s shoulder bag.

Is this kid named Octopussy 

All those weapons will need more than 2 arms

Luckily the slingshot was not loaded and did not count as a weapon. 😋

All for self defense purposes.

I think this was a very serious disaster averted, the kid must be deranged, and surely planning on ending some lives in the near future.

 

Perhaps he wanted to see the movie to get some ideas and courage to go ahead.

 

Well done to the theatre for alerting the police!

Bang him up 1 year should do it,

Too much mass violence by individuals creeping into Thai society lately.

It reminds me of my tender age 😢

Gang violence between rival schools is nothing new.  In the fifties we used to use our rolled up school caps as weapons.
