Australian Arrested On Phuket For Shooting German Tourists

[NamKangMan]

Funny how hard-faced know-it-all blokes covered in ink turn into lemons when confronted by the police. We Thai police are special when it comes to kicking farang in the bxlls, as this one is about to discover.

Don't you mean, kicking him in the wallet? :)

[Nigel1500]

Yeah .... Aussies aren't good with guns ... not since Prime Minister John Howard took them all away 10 years ago ...

[JetsetBkk]

Witnesses told Police that two powerfully built had been involved in a serious argument involving the payment for a motorbike and at some point one of them, the Australian had fired his gun indiscriminately , missing his target and hitting the two innocent tourists. The two men then fled the scene.

Pathetic jetstar bogans.

Hmmmmm...Let's see here...Attempted Murder, In possession of an illegal firearm, discharging

said firearm in a public place AND...failing to hit the target causing grevious bodily harm to

innocent money spending tourists....perhaps the list goes on...I have no idea. However...I can't

help to wonder how "tough" this Aussie <deleted> is gonna be in prison when some 5" 3" Thai

con serving x amount of life terms & who is fit walks up to him and says "Bend over farang

I'm gonna F*** you now." as all his con buddies watch.

Do they come from Doveton or Frankston or maybe even Broadmedows in Australia, Just asking! Total F@#$kwits put them in jail and throw away the key!

[Beetlejuice]

It means that these two Australian thugs are potential murderers.

They should be taken out of society, as no one is safe with these maniacs around.

The same guy would probably sit next to you in a bar and tell you how accurate he was when he sniped xx number of the enemy in Afghanistan.

Do you have any idea of the difference between a snipers rifle and a handgun ?

Yes oldsailor

I personally know 1 of the alleged shooters and I have always known him to be a decent sensible guy. I have no idea what has happened and from the reports I am reading neither do many people including the media and police. I love watching the ensuing speculation, twisted explanations and general tripe start to emerge from forum members that is par for the course when something is posted on here about Phuket. Quality entertainment.

So this decent sensible guy had an off day?. Decent sensible guys don't go shooting people in Thailand.

^ Oh, come on be fair, maybe his mate's haemorrhoids were acting up again which might account for the inability to stand straight and aim ... ... ...

On a serious note though, there's been much discussion over the last few years about the apparent growth in this "underclass" especially at the tourist rich [in more ways than one] venues.

Maybe someone in authority will consider doing something about it at last, such as enforcing the existing laws as a reasonable starting point.

A 32 year old and a 26 year old making a living in Phuket from doing tattoos. Mmmmmmmmm, really.

Will you be visiting him in gaol, since he's a "decent and sensible guy?"

I'd visit him if he went to gaol. Not a problem. Lets not go overboard though. Even if he is charged and even if he does go to court, who is to say he will go to gaol? We are talking about Thailand.

Nobody here is interested. Monthly gov pay packet, financial perks ,nice lunches, nice uniform, horrendous amount of medals (don't know what for), but nobody cares.

It's nice to see you have noticed my obvious credentials in spotting a tool.

[spidermike007]

The two powerfully built, still need guns?

Are you serious? A fistfight? That requires a real man, and not a 16 year old coward girl hiding behind a handgun.

[Lancelot]

Thank heaven it was not a Thai shooting the tourists....Not sure Phuket can withstand any more bad news......

Missed shots times two ??? Strange........

Naaa, farangs are taking up the slack

There appears to be a inverse correlation between the number of tattoos and IQ after seeing his photo.

Quite so. Fortunately numerous such inverse correlation markers exist throughout much of the farang community in Thailand so that you may know at a glance whom to avoid. Besides tattoos, we have Mohawk hairdos, braided beards, baldies except for ponytails, motorcyclists wearing flip-flops, shorts, and either a Thai plastic pot or no helmet, bicyclists (at least one, since departed, draped in gold glitter), youth on rented superbikes, fat old farts in speedos etc.

Well if you think normal decent guys go shooting people perhaps it isn't a psychology degree needed, just a psychiatrist.

Do they come from Doveton or Frankston or maybe even Broadmedows in Australia, Just asking! Total F@#$kwits put them in jail and throw away the key!

Just watched this on the Australian news (headline story) They say both have been charged with attempted murder which carries a 20 yr sentence but if they plead guilty it can be cut to 10 yrs. Then they also stated that the police can broker a settlement with the victims for compensation and charges can be dropped if all parties agree. I kid you not they mentioned that on the television news.

Perhaps the payout will be just to let the guy keep the motorbike and wipe the debt.

Being decent chaps and all.

You say one shooter was a sensible guy, I find that hard to believe so you call me a troll?.

Five years on Thai visa and that's the first time I have been called a troll, I think I might cry

Additionally, the video opens with footage obtained from CCTV of the two Germans fleeing into a shop after they had been shot.
