Piichai Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I thought all politicians took assault rifles with them for lunch, dinner and the like. To show of their expertise and knowledge of such. Look, this is how you check if it's unloaded ... ... A few years back one accidentally hosed down an assistant or someone putting his uzi on a restaurant table. It was lunch time, if I recall correctly. It was Senator Boonsong Kowawisarat in 2012, who for some reason took a Uzi 9mm pistol to a family lunch and managed to shoot and kill his partner, mother of his two children, whilst putting it away. Presumably as someone told him it's not polite to have handguns at family dinners, unless it's a Mafia family of course. Are you sure about that? I recall he killed his secretary/cousin.

It is not in any other media/newspaper on the web, apart from some clown trying to pass it off as recent. Please tell us about it in detail. The 'Monk' clearly has military or fire arms training and if most of us were the man in blue he would have been disarmed in seconds. So explain away or are you trolling again?

Lupatria Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 They are very keen to not mention any names in this report. I realise that the criminal libel laws would be used if more than a hint were published, I just wonder how this is treated in the Thai language press. There was report that the military and security authorities have not ruled out the possibility of the weapons being linked to the political unrest. I wonder which genius came up with this report. Democrat party spokesman Chanvanond Intarakomalyasut, meanwhile, said the car which carried the weapons belongs to a high-profile politician in a central province. Is the guy too stupid or doesn’t he have the cohones to name the untouchable owner? And regarding this news: another masterpiece of investigative “Thai journalism.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangFerang Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 The army is working very hard to prevent the inevitable. Guns will be smuggled in and will be used. Redshirt supporters get paid 1,000 baht. Hiding in the mass of people the assassins will try to do their thing. Slip out, do shooting and bombing and slip in again. Pity the army cannot send a unit to Dubai. There is a big part of the solution of Thailand's current problems. Nah, ask the locals. It is 3000 baht, and that quote is from a girl who was paid by both sides. Sometimes she wears a whistle, sometimes she wears a red t-shirt. At the ballot box, no one looking over her shoulder, she votes for those that help her. Get over it. People say Thais are dishonest, and then claim their votes are bought. Both things cannot be true. In the booth, you can vote for whoever you want, and no matter who paid you. It is like saying "Okay, I give you 3000 baht but cannot be sure what you do afterwards" This is stupidity. This is malfeasance of the dumbest kind. Both sides suck. Picking one to be 'your team' is asinine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim walker Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Former politician, I suppose its good news that he has found himself a new job involving some old military contacts no doubt but I don’t personally think gun running is a great career move still then again it’s a step up and more respectable than a Thai politician.

smileydude Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Assault rifles especially M-16's are actually quite easy to come by in Thailand because many that were "claimed" to be supposedly stolen from military armories by terrorists were actually stolen by officers for sale to anyone who could fork up cash, especially the ethnic minority groups at war along the borders with the higher value stuff like M-4A1's, MP5's, Tavors, M249's, and M60's snapped up by private collectors and politicians.

Baerboxer Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 All of the assault rifles that I have seen named have been M16's. Those are sold only to the army. Surrounding communist countries and those aligned with China would have access only to AK 47 or AK 74 combloc weapons. So those M16 weapons would first have to leak out of the army or be smuggled in. Who could have access to a handful of them to carry around, or even get the ammunition for them? Most of the illegal guns in Britain are sourced via the military - and they ain't all SA80s. The police here also have access to a wide variety of weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well true to form the Thai press, but particularly the Nation and the BP, were responsible for all the confusion about the gun and the victims relationship to the senator http://www.globalpost.com/globalpost-blogs/southeast-asia/thai-senator-shoots-woman The end result was it was not an Uzi sub machine gun but an Uzi 9mm Jericho pistol http://www.richardbarrow.com/2012/08/thai-senator-shot-a-woman-with-a-pistol-and-not-with-a-sub-machine-gun/ and not his cousin but his long time partner (link is not allowed but google Chanakarn Detkard, the victim) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpini Park springs to mind. Anyway whats wrong with carrying an assault rifle in your car? It would come in handy for scaring Elephants when they block the road. The (red-shirt supporting) police 'find' weapons when it comes to the anti-government protestors. When the army accompanies them & keeps them somewhat honest, they discover red shirts with weapons and assault weapons like those in the Op. As far as 'scaring elephants' is concerned - this takes the Chalerm disinformation post of the thread award. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder ... could this help to explain why the Police has not found any suspects for the 26 murders and 730 injured people? Could the Police be holding hands with Thaksin's Pheu Thai? ...
