15 Year Old Stabs Rescue Volunteer in Broad Daylight, Blames Influence of Cannabis

[Georgealbert]

 

 

An incident unfolded in broad daylight on November 15 when a 15 year old teenager attacked a rescue volunteer with a screwdriver at a convenience store on Pracha Uthit Road, Thung Khru District, Bangkok. The young assailant, identified as "Tarn", admitted to the attack, explaining that he was under the influence of cannabis at the time.

 

At approximately 15:20, police from the Ratchburana Station responded to reports of an altercation at the convenience store, located opposite the entrance to Soi Pracha Uthit 43. Upon arrival, authorities discovered a group of locals gathered around the scene. Several rescue volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation were also present, restraining the teenager who was holding a long screwdriver.

 

According to witnesses, the teen first entered the store earlier in the day and began a confrontation a 39 year old female volunteer, Ms. Monthira Srimadee. Tarn allegedly yelled at her, saying, "Why are you looking at me?" despite no prior interaction. After a brief exchange of words, he pulled out the screwdriver from his waistband and lunged at her. Fortunately, Ms. Monthira and her partner were able to dodge the attack, escaping injury, but did mot report the event.

 

However, the situation escalated later in the afternoon when the same assailant returned to the convenience store and attacked a second rescue volunteer with the same weapon. Tarn once again confronted the volunteer, but this time, the volunteer was able to evade the attack and assist in restraining the teen. The police were called and arrived to take Tarn into custody.

 

During questioning at the Ratchburana Police Station, Tarn admitted to the attacks, attributing his actions to being under the influence of cannabis. In an act of leniency, the rescue volunteers chose not to press charges, citing their concern for Tarn's family. As a result, police issued a warning, making it clear that any future incidents would lead to strict legal action.

So, we'll just let it go until he kills somebody? Hmm, great policing.

Yeah, this isn't anti-weed in the slightest. He may have been under the influence of weed, but that wasn't the only substance in him.

Wow Dr Cereal. So you personally did a complete physical drug check on him and found other substances as well?

 

Where did you get your medical degree, Khao San Road?

Under the Prussian model of education, the primary purpose is to remove free will and turn people into mindless soldiers.  Training men to be armed and violent from primary school to high school.  The marching, dehumanization via uniforms and shaved heads, bells, id numbers ''color wars'', flags, ''scout staff'' used as a fake gun, and general animalistic behavior for 14 years.  I am not surprised in the slightest that he stabbed someone.

Wow, Builld776... Way to may your agenda clear... 

 

Its quite obvious to anyone with 'life experience' that Marijuana tends not to result in this type of behavior - thus, its quite likely other factors at play and quite possibly, other substances involved.

 

... Such a response includes both common sense and a real word understanding...  your response includes, neither.

 

 

What we see here, is nothing more than the 'general response of placing the blame on anything else to avoid personal responsibility'...    

 

... Blaming agressive behavior on Marijuana is just like drivers blaming their mistakes on brake failure...

A detention establishment for one year should get him off the habit
