Seriously i think the guy is an out and out w***er, if you wanna kill yourself then do it alone with a bottle of pills and a scotch, don't do it in public affecting other people who are trying to get on with their own lives.

[Pattaya_Fox]

Well at least he got one shot on target

Anyone?

He might have been of Polish descent, but that's only a shot in the dark...

[kurgen]

i heard he was some big shot back in Germany.

Apparently he had been trying to get his GF pregnant for ages and this was his way of proving he wasn't shooting blanks

His girlfriend was livid with anger because she kept telling him that she had already had a hysterectomy and couldn't fall pregnant.

On the morning of the shooting, after pushing him away from her for the umpteenth time, she yelled at him, "Doesn't anything get into your thick skull."

This was his way of proving that it could.

[h90]

sound polish, somehow.

Shot in the dark...........

Don't they have lights at the range??

[dr_Pat_Pong]

He Heads 'em

[K9FIN]

I have been waiting since 2002 when i lived in Pattaya

16 months that´s shooting range is the most no 1

for commit suicide. Jumping is the most popular

sports (not airborne) to stop the pain and stop

the voices in the head. But this man certainly

did´it " My Way.. "

Rgs, Ssgt K9 served 10 yrs Bosnia,Kosovo,etc..

[poppa]

just a thought, but can you imagine the trauma hes put those lads at the shooting range through, very selfish act , but saying that his head was gone ( after he pulled the trigger )

[h90]

I thought beer and viagra is the number 1 for suicide in Pattaya

Sorry, i agree

[steveromagnino]

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

A guy has died, and you lot are making jokes about it?!

I hardly think this is appropriate.

Although that said the ground floor gag is frigging genius

[CGW]

He chose to die, not like he died of natural causes!

He could quite easily have chosen to do it in a private place, in a dignified manner. Instead he chose to have witnesses, God knows how many people, who are never going to forget this.

Difficult to respect a man who choses to die in this manner.

Suicides are not usually noted for their balance of mind and I suppose that poor man in his extremis probably simply just forgot his manners. Gosh, imagine that, having the effrontery to offend those shrinking violets in Pattaya.Whatever next?

[Jing-jo]

at least he went out with a bang knowing he had shot his load properly!

[Lost in LOS]

My friend has a gun range in Los Angeles. He has this happen often, they come in, rent a gun and shoot themselves

[guardian]

He bugun shooting at the paper target as normal, left the range for a few minutes and then returned to his shooting booth number 14 supervised by Khun Wishit aged 27 who works for the Tiffany Shooting Range.

Somebody interrogate Khun Wishit. He's lying . Mr. Korab was not shooting the paper targets but he and Wishit were actually playing a round of Russian roulette and Mr. Korab ran out of luck .

This does happen so often in Pattaya I am wondering if they started lining the walls of the shooting range with and easy wipe down plastic.
