What a completely bizarre statement, there were more than one mass murder a day in 2023 in America and you're comparing Thailand? Who knows what this was all about, just be thankful that very little of the violence here is Thai on foreigner, it's almost entirely Thai on Thai. Let them do their thing, survival of the fittest I guess. Thailand is still an incredibly safe place for most of us to live. Infinitely safer than living in the West. 3 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post steven100 Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 Why is it that some on here just can't help themselves in always diverting the story to compare with the US. The story has absolutely nothing to do with the US, it's a story about a Thai political figure shot in Thailand. This is Thailand ... not the US. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stargrazer9889 Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 One shot gun shell has many small balls, hence the 30 wounds. A reporter should know this as it sounds as if the victem was shot 30 times. Not good reporting in my opinion. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
