Missed by 200 meters??

Missed by 200 meters??

That is not surprising at all. It is the work of Red Shirt coward terrorists that just want to send their message and run away as fast as possible from the crime scene. They do not really care if they hit the target, if they miss it, or if they kill some children like they did on the 23rd of February.

One would have to conclude that the most likely explanation for this attack is intimidation. But as the Police are never going to catch anyone, contrary claims will of course be made.

It was Suthep...he is a facist you know....

. . . and a thug apparently . . .

If not, then 'fake farmers' and '100 grannies at Lumpini' are feasible scapegoats.

Daily routine in TH and they are so up set if Singapoure will organize a peaceful songkran festival ....

Upena, for what it is worth, The M79 was a shotgun style rifled 40mm Grenade launcher dating back to 1961, it was designed to fill the gap between the 60 metre range of a hand grenade and the 400 metre minimum mortar range. In the right place when properly aimed they can deliver a whole range of projectiles reasonably accurately over say 2 - 4 hundred metres. They are still in wide use all over the world. Locally though, they found their way into Thailand from a sub-contractor manufacturing company called Daewoo in South Korea who supplied them to the Thai Government with huge quantities of non-lethal crowd deterrent shells. The fact that this attack was so poorly performed and used HE shells suggests that the firer had no training and that does not suggest that it was military or even police but a rogue gun in untrained and unpracticed hands.
