webfact Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Gang stages shootout in Bangkok hospital BANGKOK: -- Displaying a profound misunderstanding of the intent and function of a hospital, 10 members of a bike gang snuck into Rama II Hospital this weekend and opened fire on a suspected rival as he lay recuperating from an earlier gunshot wound. The retaliation strike stemmed from an encounter that took place earlier in the evening, when Jarutat Kamolmaharumi, a 24-year-old emergency worker, tried to break up a brawl between two rival youth gangs. Jarutat fled the scene after hearing gunshots, but the gang members weren’t ready to let him off so easily. Assuming he was in cahoots with a rival gang, several of the youths pursued Jarutat, firing at his truck and eventually wounding one of his passengers—17-year-old Sumitra Achitanaboon.

seefaonuma Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think may be because the gun is too easy to find in Bangkok . Even in the hospital from my own experience 1. the patient came to the hospital he bring his gun this time no accident happen 2. The worker in hospital bring gun whil working ( I don't know why ? ) finally he shot himself accidentally ! May be hospital is not the safe place as people think any more . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techboy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Are we in Bangkok ? Thailand ? the land of smiles ? I guess the smile is gone since a very long time . Yup. Land of smiles. I have never been anyplace where a smile is friendlier or can do more for a person. Crime and violence are everywhere. Nobody ever said that this country is without it. You want utopia then you were born on the wrong planet buddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Morakot Posted December 3, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) I think may be because the gun is too easy to find in Bangkok . It has nothing to do with the availability of guns. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. If I could just expand a little? Guns + Dickheads kill people. Right you are just like knives + dickheads, ball bats + dickheads, bombs + dickheads, poison + dickheads, with the common denominator being dickheads not guns or any other weapon. The wealth on literature on gun crime clearly shows that neither "guns kill people", nor "people kill people". Overwhelming evidence suggests that people with guns kill people.

It has nothing to do with the availability of guns. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. In Australia, in England, where gun ownership is extremely curtailed by government laws, the crime rates are higher than in nations where people are allowed to own guns. The difference between a citizen and a slave is the right to own a gun. Citizens own guns, slaves/subjects do not. Criminals don't obey laws and will do whatever they please, because they are criminals. They will shoot people or stab people or rob people, because they are criminals. If criminals fear ordinary citizens, because they think the ordinary citizen may be armed and able to defend him/herself, crime rates decrease. Arm the population, and you'll see gun related crime decrease. I'm armed at all times. It's my right regardless of laws, because I have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Governments didn't give me that right. It's a natural right, given to me by God. O please your argument about gun ownership has been shown numerous times to be flawed but your kind continue to trumpet it as the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you outlaw guns, you won't get rid of guns as socialist governments and the U.N. would have you beliere. When you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. This is exactly what these governments want, a helpless citizenry (slaves) wholly dependent upon big brother.government. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
