Bluespunk Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Complete and utter sphincter.

Bluespunk Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 At least he has a conscience. Other scumbags would have fled the scene and never returned to face the music.

TVGerry Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 From the picture, he looks drunk. Guess he might as well get wasted since it'll be a long time before he gets to do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They act on conditioned impulse over this way, smile and smile. Then one day, the impulse is too strong for the conditioning. As the Thai proverb goes, when the smiles fade, the guns appear.

ezzra Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 To start with and sums it all up... what a lowly bus driver doing with a gun? why pray tell, he need a gun driving people to their honest day's work? sadly, this country is full awash with people full of rage and unable to control their emotions and think of the consequences.....

robblok Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Wonder why there are no people here for banning alcohol as the accused said it was because of alcohol that he did it. Normally everyone jumps on the opportunity to get strict on drug.. except when its their favorite drug. What a total idiot this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtongfarang Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Exchange bus driver for stagecoach and it sounds like a low budget spaghetti western, What is it with the thais and guns? often get the feeling a high percentage of the population is packing.

NongKhaiKid Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 He lost face and because he had a gun someone lost his life. I was about to ask how many Thais are walking about armed, legally or not, but I think we know the answer so it's a sobering thought and just screams ' caution ' if getting into an argument or awkward situation.

car720 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The picture says it all. The cop is saying to him , "don't sweat it pal, you did the right thing and came in here.

SOTIRIOS Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 ...seems he is expecting to be forgiven of course.... ...he did wai and apologize to the passengers after all..... ...just looking at his face.....what kind of presence of mind does this individual have.... ...and he was hired to interact with the public.... ...all of that is scary......

halloween Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 There are far too many incidents like this in Thailand where a person snaps and commits a violent crime...often resulting in death.

SparklingCascades Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 At least he has a conscience. Other scumbags would have fled the scene and never returned to face the music. Next you'll be telling us that the killer was thoughtful to kill the victim whilst he slept.....other scumbags would have shot the victim when awake. The man has no conscience. The killer turned himself in since he knew that he'd found & apprehended since the bus company knows which driver is allotted which bus. Better to surrender peacefully than disappear in a hail of police bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
