very disturbing ...

A terrible ordeal to go through. The most frightening aspect is there was absolutely no reason for shots to be fired as they'd got the money. These people are obviously extremely dangerous, let's hope they are caught quickly and locked up for a lengthy stretch.

Five clowns to stick-up a corner store. Pointing a gun at an infant. They baaaaadddd!

What I fail to grasp is why these robberies that involve stealing cell phones don't get followed up by the cops. Eg, call the number of the stolen phone.

"Somchai?"

"he not here"

"Well, I have the 100,000 baht he made on the football bet, he can come pick it up tonite."

bendejo can tell you never had you mobile stolen - it's turned off immediately - taken to a pawn shop and sold on.

Only seen it once where a child was held hostage at knife point by a stoned guy. Think he survived the kicking he got when the police managed to get the knife off him, police didn't put much effort into protecting him from the mob
