jackr Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 He faces a maximum of 10 years imprisonment and a 20,000 baht ($636) fine. Stroll on. You'd get in more trouble for tinkering with an ATM or beeping your horn at the wrong person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudhopper Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Mae Hong Son Senator Boonsong Kowawisarach, 56, was removing ammunition from his gun when it suddenly discharged, shooting his 46-year-old wife Chanakarn Dedkhad in the abdomen. She is not referred to as his ex wife in this article. Although she is now. Here's a take from the underground along with uncensored commentary - http://www.zerohedge.com/news/thai-senator-accidentally-kills-secretary-submachine-gun-faces-636-fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payboy Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 cousin said 'I want to say scuzi' not 'I want to see your uzi' Isn't scuzi short for squeeze that uzi trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Maybe they were having a cheese fondue and playing forfeits ! or perhaps the senator likes cheese with holes in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 According to my wife, one of the tv news programmes describes the deceased as the ex-wife of the senator. Well she's certainly ex now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traxster Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) 'One more quote from Wikipedia: 'The pistol grip is fitted with a grip safety, making it [i.e. the UZI] difficult to fire accidentally.' But not impossible.......obviously............ Look people........he's a Senator so you ain't never ever gonna hear anything else about it......................... end of story !!

noitom Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Why in the world would he be authorized to have an Uzi? If he casually puts it on the dinner table, how many other "Thai officials" and non-Thai officials are walking or driving around with Uzis and taking them to meetings? It's not a great loss if they kill themselves, but spraying Uzis around puts normal everyday people and workers at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Standart dinner situation, nothing to write about Why the hell carrie a shit gun like a Uzi around? It's as effective as a knife, you can't hit shit with, it unless you stand 2meters from the target, because of the short barrel and high rate of fire...well or of cause, if you fire it, while having dinner with people, you can hit them In rooms it is nice....it sprays the room, friend or foe..... But to be classic you need 2...in every hand one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyKid Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Several Thai news sources are saying the victim is actually the senator's 46 year old wife. She was shot in front of her mother and relatives on a Mother's day celebratory meal. http://breakingnews....ang=T&cat=&key= http://www.mcot.net/...age/399994.html OK so I have to ask could he have been Married to his cousin??

madmitch Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 How legless was the honourable member for Mae Hong Son when he let rip with the Uzi? Family dinner or piss-up? Of course he wasn't drunk.

edwinchester Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 It's a shame that none of the restaurant staff or other guests had the balls or even common sense to ask him to put the gun away or call the police when he had it on the table.

Popular Post MaxLee Posted August 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2012 I think that messed up senator dude has many powerful connections in the government to "buy him out of prison" sooner than the already "light punishment" of 10 year trial says, and everything will be forgotten in a couple of months. Amazing Thailand... where the rich and powerful can do whatever they want. And in extreme cases, if some low class people complain about the truth or wrongdoings of their Poo Yai, they're just shot dead... Remember also that killing of a 17 year old boy that was up in the news and the 3 policemen responsible for the murder are getting freed from bail now because if their powerful parents and relatives... The richer they are the more they can break the rules in every aspect and in special cases can get away with corruption related murder... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think those poor spectators want to risk to get shot and murdered themselves?? And do you think a simple police officer would dare to speak up to a high status Poo Yai senator? This is Thailand where low class people are being abused like a piece if crap... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bung Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I just look at this constant stream of news stories like this coming through and have to wonder at what happens to a country when they have the police force and government that Thailand has. It is quite something to live in a country with no real rule of law and justice. I hope I can just keep under the radar and never expose myself to any of it....Or at least have the money available to deal with it when if happens. 21st Century wild west. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker69 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 An informed source said Boonsong was partially paralysed and his condition could be a reason for the accident. The reason was´nt him bringing the gun to a dinner table in a restaurant then? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidu Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If he drops his immunity AND if he's found guilty, he could stand to get a fine of not more than Bt.10,000. 10,000 baht is the maximum fine for killing someone? Is Thailand still in the 19th century? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
