NongKhaiKid Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 What a headline " hunting an anonymous rock thrower ". If there were any witnesses their description will be something along the lines of " black hair of average length, brown skin, average height, average build ". Chances of the " hunt " being successful, if it actually exists, are nil unless he's caught in the act and even getting his m/cycle registration number won't help because records are, well not exactly accurate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherstuff1957 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Throwing rocks at cars??? Have the police checked to see if the son of a well-connected person from Ayutthaya is up to his old tricks again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NongKhaiKid Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hey, if some of the police are busy looking for someone they can't find then at least there is less of them extorting the general public. They should Google the name " Harry Chanellor " ( hope that's the correct spelling ) a one time D/ Sgt in the Met who went insane and planted bricks on people thinking he was doing his job. How many males in Bkk will now be found with rocks in their pockets, no pun intended, and have to buy their way out of false trouble ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisa Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Must be a slow crime day for a city of around 10-million for a rock thrower to be making the top headlines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post robblok Posted April 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2013 Must be a slow crime day for a city of around 10-million for a rock thrower to be making the top headlines. Maybe, but we had one back in the Netherlands too.. there were copycats and accidents. I don't think this is a minor crime. Imagine the death toll if it hits a window and the car slams into an other car. Throwing rocks from an overpass is real dangerous. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thaddeus Posted April 24, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2013 Too lazy to write his name on the rocks then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Too lazy to write his name on the rocks then. The choice of the descriptor "anonymous" is decidedly weird. Maybe his name is Rocky and they meant "eponymous." Edited April 24, 2013 by Suradit69 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker9000 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 The world is, tragically, full in this day & age of cowards doing cowardly things to injure & kill people. For what?

Oh dear....the first to let his obsession with red shirts shine through in an eminently non-political thread. I suggest taking up a sport or hobby.

almend Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 This happened in Los Angeles years ago to a friend of mine and other folks with some fatalities. Overpasses were fitted with heavy duty fences with a top that curved inward or totally enclosed the overhead walkway. Making it nearly impossible for this to happen.

Joe Mamma Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 (edited) Had some punks pummel my car once. I backtracked and saw them hide in an empty pool. I chucked a lit M-1000 in said pool and they scattered like wet rats,all holding their ears. Price worth a few dents on the battered wagon for the look on their cat eating xxxx faces.!

Not much chance of a hunt as it was probably a " helmet day " so more important things to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You keep one (or more) of those in your truck? Fortunate for them or else you would have to had to get the gun out of the glove-box or rifle off the rack eh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUSHGOAT Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just makes you wonder what kind of mentality this ass-hole has, people have been killed by these kind of reckless, thoughtless actions hope they catch this stupid sick idiot and that nobody is injured in the meantime while they are hunting him.

sirchai Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 By the time police reached the scene, the man had used his motorcycle to take flight. Happened in Ubon some years ago. Kids threw rocks into windshields of cars. Those who stopped, were killed by bigger boys, who first robbed them, then threw their bodies away and sold the cars in a neighboring country. Took cops a long time to find this gang. Really scary what some people are able to do.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquis22 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 These types of individuals do not stop, they usually get caught. Hopefully sooner than later. Hopefully caught before he seriously injurers someone like has happened in Melbourne Australia a few years back when a young idiot hurled a huge rock off a freeway overpass straight through the front windscreen.

Dr Wanchai Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Why cannot some people here on TV who seem to have something wrong with their heads realise that this news article in the Bangkok Post was written by a Thai whose first language is not English. If there were to be a news article written in Thai and by farangs whose first language is not Thai, I am pretty sure the native Thais will be rolling on the floor laughing. If you people do not have anything positive to say, go find something worthwhile to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
