As harsh as this may sound, that will teach the little toe-rags to steal other people's bikes, if that is indeed the case.

Whoever owned the bike is a definite candidate for anger management classes...............

Or maybe shooting classes so multiple wounds are not needed.

Don't go off half cocked now ..

Could have happened for a series of reasons but chances are they just picked on the wrong persons bike to steal. There are some factions in Thailand that you just don't mess with !

[harrry]

I had a bike stolen three times in 2 years in Australia. I must say I felt like doing something to the little b.....s but though the police knew exactly who took it did not do anything because they were only 16 year old kids and the court would not even have looked at them.

Darwin in action!

Culling the species, bit dramatic, but I am sure we are all better off without any of them...

Multiple wounds may not have been needed, but wanted.

yes,....many darwin actions in LOS, TIT!

Just waiting for the first "this could happen anywhere comment"..........

[BrianCR]

Stolen bike or not whoever did the shooting should be locked away for life for their disgusting lack of morals and to protect the lives of others who may or may not want to steal a motorcycle!!

I bet this wasn't the first bike that had stolen?

Is it me, am I right in thinking that since the present Gov. came into power these types of crime have been increasing? If so could it be because people are not as well off as such are becoming more desperate and committing more crimes in order to live?

That's one unlucky bike!

There's anger and there's psychotic violence: whoever did this has been watching too many death wish movies. I can understand the rage felt at the theft of something special to you, but to kill four people, that's just wrong.

Rage/anger/mild irritation or whatever, still no reason to embark upon a killing spree.

That my friend is sending a message.

Not only will it elevate his reputation but likely lighten the road to his arrest.

Unless of course the road is protected by those that normally would arrest........................

Nonsense.

One of them may well have discovered a new strain of somtam.

Yet, I'd imagine, greatly satisfying.

Anyway, never underestimate the reaction of a Thai.

If they end up losing it, which may happen for the slightest of reasons given their emotionally restrictive culture and build up of anger, it isn't going to be a few punches they let loose.

[Traxster]

I think too any kids these days watch too many of those awful,'knock em down shoot em up' movies where the hero/s can do anything and shoot anyone they like and get away with it.

And most of those 'games' played on TV screen are shoot em up games...............

what are we teaching our children ???

[OzMick]

I can understand the extreme anger of a person who works long and hard to buy a motorcycle, to have it stolen by someone who knows a better way. Of course there are repercussions for killing, as there are for stealing someone's bike. Some repercussions are to be expected, some come as a surprise, especially to the less imaginative. Look on the bright side, there's no such thing as a dead recidivist.

Somchai probably prayed long and hard for a motorcycle, until he realised god doesn't work that way. So he stole one and prayed for forgiveness.

Those that wish to bring religion into the argument might ask themselves who gave them the right to rank the commandments. I'd also like to know who wrote the Amendments to "thou shall not kill" to allow for religious (or other) wars.

I couldn't agree more.

I too think that crime is on the increase. I'd guess that an increase in unemployment is probably the cause. The wage hike to baht 300/day making companies think twice before over staffing and many not being rehired after last years floods might be the root cause of the unemployment.

It doesn't matter how poor you are, you do not commit crimes against ordinary people, or steal from them, and that applies in any country.

If I was walking down the street and was attacked by a stranger without any provocation, I would be happy to kill them, and believe me I would, because scum like that do not deserve to live amongst decent people, and in the two countries I have lived in, the UK and Thailand, the vast majority of people are decent.

What you are saying is wrong, Thai people are the most tolerant people on earth, and I believe 99.99 % of them would not harm anyone without good reason, the thing I would say is if any Thais did want to harm anyone, they would have to be in a group as they are too cowardly to try and harm you by themselves.
