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.

[Cereal]

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?

[Chris Daley]

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

[Thingamabob]

Cannabis leads to calm, not aggression. He will have been taking another, illegal, substance, or alcohol, or both. Either that or he is deranged, and should be kept out of public life.

[Red Forever]

Wow, the dopeheads are all over the place on this one but they agree on one thing: it wasn't the weed wot dunnit!

[black tabby12345]

The rescuer didn't press charges against the teen thug?

 

What a Do-gooder.

That sort of low life social vermin to be severely punished instead.

Attempted murder under the influence of drug only at 15.

What does he expect that SO* do in any future?

Yes.

That do-gooder(the assault victim) is only helping the matter to go worse.

Could well be.

From here?

 

[SiSePuede419]

Well, that settles it.

If a 15 year old says something, it must be true! 

There's no way he could be lying or hiding some other drug use.

Let's trust his word, Anti-Safest Drug In The World Warriors!

After all, he's crazy enough to stab someone who tries to help him.

Sounds trustworthy to me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[Purdey]

I wonder if people taking yaba know that if they say it was cannabis they can be forgiven?

[transam]

All the puffers here will be out in force saying........

 

"He's.. 🤬 ..lying, us puffers are all Larry the Lamb's".........😇......😂.......

[KhunLA]

I guess if I had anger management issues and got caught attacking someone, I'd blame it on something else also, especially a stimulant and plead ... " I didn't know what happen "

 

In all my years of ganga abuse, about 45 yrs, I've never known anyone to be violent because they were under the influence of ganga.  Actually the opposite, and Aholes that were unstably violent at times, were usually very passive aggressive when stoned.

Is that what's going on in your country?

Can you expand on this a little?  From a quick internet search, it seems that "the Prussian model of education" was popular and has influenced modern education systems all over the world.  Was there a specific period that it was like this?

 

I always though the "Asian model", if there is such a thing, was far more based on Asian, or possibly communist, beginnings.

[john donson]

blood or urine test to find the other substances maybe?

I would say it's got nothing to do with him taking if indeed that was the case. Fair chance, IMHO, it's ya-ba .

Rubbish.

 

Poster says quite confidently, with only the OP post to go on, that the boy is on something else as well.

 

Nothing was mentioned in the OP about any other substance. so how did the second poster know without examining the 15 year old.

 

AFAIK it is impossible to examine and diagnose a patient from a keyboard, unless of course you know more than any other doctor and have all the results of all the lab tests.

 

Si in your learned opinion, can you confirm that the 15 year old was on other drugs, and if so, which ones?

Well, one is illegal, the other legal for the treatment of specified conditions.

Si ? In my opinion, unconfirmed, he was most likely on crystal meth and alcohol, excessive amounts of which lead to aggression. Cannabis, on the other hand, leads only to calm.
