Craig krup Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hideous. That's what despair does to you. People kill themselves when they can't maintain their ideas about themselves. If folk knew just how difficult things will be if it all goes Pete Tong they'd be a lot more cautious a lot earlier. The number of British kids who act as if their community's tragic cases weren't once as bold and thoughtless as themselves is truly staggering. Defend yourself at all times.

gerry123 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 how sad might the bomb have accidentally pre detonated ? it sounds like he was in a very confused condition RIP GUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's not really surprising no-one would employ him considering his record. Rape, assault and drug charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinthebox Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's not really surprising no-one would employ him considering his record. Rape, assault and drug charges. This is a sad story. The guy was 18 years old when he was sentenced to 9 years. If Thailand had a modern prison regime (i.e. professional anger management, drug addiction treatment, vocational training, resocialization) he might would have got his life under control and become happy und useful for society. Seems like he was really devasted instead, so the convictions 2006 now seems more like a death-sentence. Well, at least he didn't rape anyone and didn t harm someone else.

razer Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Something is not logical here. Well, this is Thailand. I remember when an IRA guy blew himself up in his flat on Oxford St. ... British police didn't think it was a suicide. Analogy: I remember working China in the 80's. We joked that there was no AIDS in China. Why? Because the government did not permit AIDS. Don't get it? There is no terrorism in Thailand. Why? The government doesn't permit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopchan Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I knew a young guy in Oz who suffered from depression after losing his job. He first attempted suicide with a shotgun but flinched at the last millisecond. H e was left permanently disfigured with basically half a face on the left side. Because of this, he was even more "unemployable" After a while, he made a bomb and went to a blind bend on a railway near our home. He laid on top of the bomb and detonated it killing himself instantly. In the note he left to his loved ones, he said that if he failed "this time, the train will finish me properly" He was 19. RIP to Karl and to Ponthawat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Sorry, but this headline made me think of "Death by Bunga". http://www.jokes4us.com/dirtyjokes/bungajoke.html Oh yeah, I had a friend 25 years ago that stuck a shotgun in his mouth & succeeded. It was sad for sure, but the guy had lots of friends. I was quite envious of some of his hot girlfriends. It was his choice. Up to him I suppose.
