He attempted to escape in his Mazda 3 car as soon as he saw Police arrive at the Pub but was intercepted and arrested.A search of his car took place and the revolver loaded with 4 bullets was found under the driver seat. Two spent cartridges were found nearby confirming two shots had been fired from the gun. There was some resistance to the arrest from the suspect and his wife who were amazed that an alleged act of self-defense could cause so much trouble.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/116618/north-pattaya-pub-owner-in-gun-incident/-- Pattaya One 2014-01-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooka Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 At least he only fired into the air to scare them off, may be facing some firearm offences but at least he is not looking murder. So what become of the gang who were about to attack him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakename Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Did they actually attack him? Looks like he was blocking off parking spaces for his customers only, and someone was removing them. Just like all the other shop keepers, they think they own the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choonpon Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 An act of self defence, shots fired in the air. He can't possibly let the attackers attack him. Why arrested? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisinth Posted January 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2014 Don't understand why two spent cartridges were found nearby. From a revolver? If he removed the casings why didn't he reload, it would be the only reason in my mind that you would need to touch them? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil B Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 An act of self defence, shots fired in the air. He can't possibly let the attackers attack him. Why arrested? It was not that long ago we saw reports of the damage caused buy shoots fired it the air and what happens when they come back to earth, a young girl had a lucky escape from injury or worse. And I hope they will be investigating the police officer who is the registered owner of the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halion Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This article is crap and utter nonsense. Revolvers do not eject the spent casings and they have to be removed manually . Either the weapon was indeed a semi automatic pistol which would eject the spent casings or this story is tainted.as it simply defies any logic why someone in a heighten state of fear and anxiety would break open a revolver and carefully remove the two spent rounds while fearing for his safety. Garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimmer Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Don't understand why two spent cartridges were found nearby. From a revolver? If he removed the casings why didn't he reload, it would be the only reason in my mind that you would need to touch them? I also wondered about that so I chased the vid down, it clearly shows the police officer finding a revolver inside the car then swinging out the chamber sideways.

laobali Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Wow, what a story. Slow news day in Pattaya? Wow, what a post. Nothing better to do in your house? Did I pull your chain? The quoted article involves a Thai pub with a Thai owner and Thai youths. No foreigner involved, nobody dead or injured, no political component. You obviously have even less to do if you need to speculate about it. Edited January 28, 2014 by laobali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cup-O-coffee Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Too funny... The teens were about to attack him. He fired into the air. They left. Were no police to show up, they return and fire 500 rounds from an AK-47 into the man, his wife, and the house. The police show up and confirm that bullets were fired and that they suspect the bullets were indeed fired from a weapon. They apprehend the shooters. The shooters grovel at the feet of the surviving relatives and go to juvenile detention for three years, whereupon they get released early for good behavior, and take up their careers as losers again and continue to burden society with their presence. The mothers of these murdering bullies throw their arms in the air and cry and bemoan, "I could never control them. Whatever am I to do? Oh, the humanity!". This is simply one possible story besides the crap printed here. It's Thailand. It's a story. Pick one, or make one up. Chances are the truth will never be known. Another "Thai Middle Way" method of existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
