EyesWideOpen Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 With all the crime going on there there must definitely be something in the water. Noooooooo, they come from all over cos they think the BiB is useless in LOS. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... They don't come because they THINK the BiB are "useless" - they come here because they KNOW the BiB can be "bought" here. Maybe the Russian mafia there can act as a deterrent to the biker gangs ????

Robbie Dye Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 B380,000 became 1 million in, shall we guess, 1 month ? Such a bunch of bankers should be able to miss innocent Germans one might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemoncake Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Aussies miss target, shoot Phuket tourists Tanyaluk Sakoot In handcuffs, one of the two Australians is questioned after his arrest. PHUKET: -- Two Australians angry with a Danish man who had not repaid money he had borrowed from them, shot at him last night. They missed, hitting instead two German tourists passing by on Soi Sansabai in Patong. Joseph Woerner and Johann Baschegger were hit, one in the arm and the other in the shoulder. They were taken to Patong hospital for treatment. An hour later police arrested the two Australians, whom they named as Adam Lewis and John Cohw [sic]. The latter owns a tattoo shop in Patong and is accused of firing the gun. A Ruger .45 pistol was seized. The two told police that the Dane had borrowed B380,000 from them. He had not paid any back and, with interest, he now owed them B1 million. The Danish debtor has not been found, and is believed to be in hiding. The two Australians are in custody and undergoing further questioning. Cohw was initially charged with attempted murder and with having a gun in a public place. Source: http://www.thephuket...rists-36550.php -- The Phuket News 2013-01-23 He must be new to the business of debt collecting, considering he still wears 100 baht red bull singlets and too stupid to cover up the tattoos as an identifying marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DekDaeng Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What i find most interesting is the general lack of indignation on this thread, over this incident, as opposed to the ire apparent on the thread i was just reading where a thai accideintally shot a bystander at the full moon. Nobody in this thread has been shot DEAD. Well not yet, but it's only 4 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEENTHEREDONETHAT Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Two of them are being charged for the shooting. So I see why they missed, one was pointing the gun and the other pulled the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so strange, Australians do not have the same access to guns Americans have; thus must not be as proficient Or the Danish guy was so terrifying to the Aussie shooter that his gun hand was shaking while he was shooting. Or the Aussie guy was drunk..... Oh wait I should take back that generalization, which makes about as much sense as you saying saying all Americans are expert sharpshooters.....

Source: http://www.thephuket...rists-36550.php -- The Phuket News 2013-01-23 A few thoughts. There appears to be a inverse correlation between the number of tattoos and IQ after seeing his photo. Regarding the amount owed, am a bit surprised to see the loan amount of 380,000 baht zoom up to one million baht. Man I need to get into the loan business. And who in their right mind would loan money to ANYONE here without having seizable assets to protect the loan... Also nice to see the guy had a real gun, a Ruger. Some of the guns the vicious Thai gang bangers on scooters carry look like they would be scary to shoot. Anyway this is bad debt collection, popping off a few rounds in the general direction of the debtor and hitting bystanders. I have a friend who used to collect bad debts for the Hells Angeles. He said he would meet the guy , and immediately break his arm. As the guy is laying on the ground screaming, my friend informed him that unless the debt was paid he would then come back and REALLY hurt him. He said everyone paid........ If the debt collectors in Phuket adapted the same concept it would cut down on tourists being shot. Your mate still in business? I've a bloke in the UK who's owed me £40k since 2008.

sirchai Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Col Chiraphat expressed his concern about how detrimental such an incident could be to Phuket’s vital tourism industry. “The suspects opened up fire in the middle of a dense tourism area and injured two innocent people. They have seriously tarnished Thailand’s reputation and must face the highest penalties under the law,” Col Chiraphat said. The country's reputation of being a Paradise for sharp shooters and their straying bullets,with the possibility to built a house and never own it, or move in, because you decide to base jump without a parachute?-- Edited January 23, 2013 by sirchai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesWideOpen Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) The damage here is really bad publicity. The image of bullets flying around Soi Bangla is not a good one. However no one died, so I suspect that money will be paid ( not to the guys with bullets in them), and the whole thing will gently fade away. One of the beauties of having endless shootings , is that a new shooting next week sort of makes old shooting stories die a slow death.
