ryandb Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 what the hell did I just read "Authorities noted that Tiny Club, operated by an influential local figure, lacked a business license and stayed open well past legal hours, with lax security allowing firearms inside. Police are pursuing legal action against the pub owner and scrutinising CCTV footage, which seems to have been tampered with post-incident." Yeah this is the big takeaway its the club owners fault..... I'm sure the police who were there had nothing to do with the CCTV part, and yeah I'm sure had the security attempted to pat down and remove the weapons from off duty cops that would have ended just as well as this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sig Posted August 19 Popular Post Share Posted August 19 CCTV is only as good as the desired narrative, otherwise the camera's will have malfunctioned or somehow the recordings will be missing pertinent minutes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sig Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) 6 hours ago, webfact said: Sergeant Major Rojchanaphon Rojchanaphanit, an intelligence officer As far as I'm familiar with ranks in my own country, this is the highest attainable rank, but it is not an officer rank. This was confusing that according to this article he held that top rank AND was an officer? Strange. At any rate, he wasn't any kind of spring chicken to hold that rank, and yet was out cavorting at 4 a.m.🥴 Edit: Just looked up ranks in Thailand. Apparently they have 3 levels of Sergeant Major (1st, 2nd, & 3rd Class), so this guy could have been much younger than I thought, if he was a 3rd Class Sergeant Major. I suppose to get that rank, one could get it in their late 20's if they're really riding up the ranks well and started early. Maybe even earlier for all I know, since apparently in Thailand they only have 7 enlisted ranks, rather than the 9 that I'm accustomed to. It probably also depends how well his family is connected.... Then again, if he was a police officer, then it would be the highest rank, but I'm assuming he was with the Army, since it said he was from Thanarat Camp, an army base.

spidermike007 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 So is this guy an advisor to the police or is he a commissioner? It states both in the article. I would imagine if he is a commissioner he has a lot to answer for. This has got to be a real embarrassment for the RTP, and it takes a lot to embarrass them. The other question I have is who were the other people that were injured in the wild west style gunfight? Were they patrons of the bar? And then the last thing that comes to mind is one would hope that if a guy rises to the rank of commissioner that he would have the common sense to have a discussion with the sargeant, and work things out like a normal human beings, rather than pull out his gun and take the man's life like a raging homicidal maniac. The death penalty sounds appropriate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax Baht hard at work paying these army guys to be out partying all night.... That could explain some of the intelligence branch estimations of how necessary it is for Thailand to have submarines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack61 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 It was about this time last year that a gathering of cops at a piss up lead to the shooting of one of them. A fairly high ranking cop.
