NeverSure Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It took me a long time to realize how deadly the 9mm is. It's a smallish bullet but very fast with deep penetration. It's the official NATO cartridge and that's probably why there's so much of it in Thailand. The military uses it because that's what's available to buy from allied countries. (Don't mean Thailand is NATO.) There are bigger bullets but most are slower if made for a semi-automatic. There is a lot of that stuff on the street in the hands of kids and people who haven't been vetted. Thailand is downright dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 "Relatives of the victims said they believed that the gunman was from a rival gang at the Technical College," - there are no "gangs" on Phuket. This was just another "misunderstanding" between students. Tourists should not be concerned for their safety. Phuket - the hub of misunderstandings, where someone ends up dead.

A1Str8 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Using a car with license plate in a shooting. That's kinda dumb in a sweet way. They would be better off leaving the guns behind and cleaning the streets or something. That doesn't require brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godders Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 How many more horror stories like this must we read before Thailand acts to curb this endemic mindless violence. Children are not born hating each other simply because they go to a different school or college. They are products of a ludicrously macho society and an educational system which embraces corporal punishment and intolerance. There is clearly a need for a massive new attitude-changing initiative, starting with those responsible for running vocational colleges as well as their young charges. But can we expect this from a regime which gained power at the point of a gun and sees difference as dissent, to be crushed. One can only be thankful that the grieving families of the victims of this latest outbreak of student violence will not see the callous and sneering comments made on this subject by someThaiVisa posters. I now understand why so many Thais havew a low opinion of falangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
