The motive for the killing remains unknown, as witnesses and relatives on both sides were unaware of any conflict between the two, he said.Police suspected there must have been a serious conflict that drove Sathit to commit the crime, after which he made a "wai" in apology to employees on the bus, he added.

Am I reading this correctly? The bus driving somchai shot and killed the other somchai while a busload of somchais looked on? And then the bus driving somchai waied them in apology for murdering someone in front of them? TIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP words on a computer screen are the "physical embodiment of my sorrow." It is possible to feel deep sorrow for people you have never met. It is also natural to feel deep sorrow for a family who have just lost a loved one. Typing out words RIP on a screen does not change anything, but it is reflection of the sorrow I feel.

A respectfull execution, however the charge of firing a gun without cause can be dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, no self control anger mood AND carrying a firearm which seems to be a must have accessory here. Despite the supposed purges, crackdowns etc on all manner of things the possession, carrying and willingness to use a firearm doesn't seem to rate much concern from on high.
