In a dramatic turn of events, a 35-year-old man, under the influence of alcohol and krathom, went into a violent rage, setting fire to his own car and then threatening to harm himself with a knife before fleeing into a nearby forest. The incident took place in Chaiyaphum province on the night of 10th February.

 

According to reports, the local emergency services received a distress call at 22:40, alerting them to a man setting fire to his white car parked on a road near a bridge in the Nai Mueang area, heading towards the city's floodgate. Upon arrival, they found the man, later identified as Isara in a state of extreme agitation, using a lighter to set fire to various objects inside the vehicle. The car quickly became engulfed in flames, emitting thick smoke.

 

Isara, a resident of Don Han, Khon Kaen, was seen walking around the car, shirtless, and holding a large knife, which he waved dangerously as if ready to harm himself. Despite a lengthy attempt at negotiation by the police, Isara's erratic behaviour continued, with his incoherent speech revealing deep emotional distress. He repeatedly expressed feelings of abandonment, saying, "No one loves me. My wife doesn't love me. My colleagues don't love me. I'm all alone and I want to die."

 

Witnesses reported that Isara had been drinking alcohol and krathom at his home earlier that evening. After an argument with his wife, who was upset about his daily drinking habits, she had kicked him out of the house. In his anger and despair, he drove his car to the location and set it on fire.

 

Firefighters from the Chaiyaphum Municipal Office and the Provincial Administrative Organisation worked quickly to extinguish the flames, but Isara, upon seeing the police closing in, fled into the forest holding the knife. Authorities launched a search for over an hour before finding him at 01:30 on 10th February.

 

In an effort to subdue him, officers used a taser, and Isara was soon taken into custody and transferred to Chaiyaphum Hospital for medical attention. Initial tests showed no signs of drug use, though investigations into the cause of his outburst are ongoing. Once he recovers, he will undergo further questioning.

What a fantastically interesting man.
Would love to buy him a drink and hear more about this episode.

 

I wonder if he is a proponent Nietzsche's work?
Perhaps he wanted to foster an environment of meaning in his life to overcome the impending nihilism he has become entrenched in?
Hmmm... perhaps the reality that the traditional idea that truth is incoherent got to him?

Is he shouting "Nietzsche was right you bastards!" on top of that car?
 

Or maybe he is just a loony?

[save the frogs]

so don't mix kratom and alcohol, especially if you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown is what i'm getting from this.
