Mighty Mouse Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 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.

K9FIN Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) 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 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveromagnino Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 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.

Gosh, imagine that, having the effrontery to offend those shrinking violets in Pattaya.Whatever next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .

JimmyTheMook Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 My friend has a gun range in Los Angeles. He has this happen often, they come in, rent a gun and shoot themselves 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.
