Two injured in South Pattaya “random” shooting

PATTAYA:--Just before 2am on Saturday, a 27 year old and 17 year old were shot and injured as they were travelling to a friend’s house in Jomtien. The victims and their friends could not offer any explanation as to why the shooting took place.

The 17 year old, who cannot be named for legal reasons and the 27 year old, Khun Wiwatchai, had earlier joined a group of 8 friends at a Pub opposite the Hard Rock Hotel at the northern-end of Pattaya Second Road.

The group left the Pub and agreed to meet at a friend’s house on the Tepprasit Road in Jomtien. The two victims were on a motorbike and were travelling on the South Pattaya Road towards the Sukhumvit Road and made a U-turn into Soi Bongkot when they were shot by a passenger on a bike travelling behind them.

Let's say a drug deal or other gang related crime went bad, who would expect they'd tell the cops that was the reason behind?

I presume just a bit of guesswork... but it need not be something so major.

A 'wrong look' seems to be all it takes these days.

I went to an ATM this morning in Ban Chang and i saw/stepped on a couple of shiny objects - two 9mm shell casings!!! <deleted>? Far too many guns aboot these days!

Well quieter than a Chicago weekend, anyways...

How about everyone learns kickboxing at school - then just fight it off...

be good friends the next day?

Yes, the Thai laws and restrictions on firearms are working every day. So do the "Royal Thai" police, they are preventing this from happening every day. Good work.

Tell me where you are from, and I can point out where it happens there also. Certainly not limited to Thailand. But then again, you responded just to Thai bash. Go ahead, if it makes you happy. May I suggest ThaiBashing.com?

Guns + booze = random shootings everywhere. Throw in penis envy too. Smaller the penis bigger the gun.
