EyesWideOpen Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Due to the number of people involved, looks like another moronic trade school fight..... Will be curious to see the TAT spin....... " Tired of boring well regulated tourist spots around the world?

z42 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Idiots. This is the sort of people the cops should be locking up, not some girl who criticises them online. Yhe fact they can't control these people does more damage for their reputation as crimefighters and protectors of life and property than any individual opinion ever could. Hope to see these clowns from the video locked up soon. But i won't hold my breath that they'll all be dragged in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty1412 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Is it just me that has had this thought but when the other half is watching Thai soaps and they show invariably guns and gunshots but not pixelated out but when its a movie and they show someone smoking they pixelate the cigarette out...... so video or pictures of people smoking is outlawed and acted on to prevent it being seen but video or pictures of some guys wielding a gun or knife is not and is generally shown on TV Soaps with local well known Thai soap actors at popular prime times...... So if Im an impressionable teenager and see smoking blurred out.... this might send the right message to me..... but by the same logic to brandish and use a lethal weapon is not so , that sends a message as well. Im not saying this is the root cause but it does show that guns and brandishing lethal weapons with intent is not something that is deemed abhorrent or incorrect in Thai society......... I find it laughable that authorities go after actors who are merchandising beer etc yet condone the same actors/actress's thrusting a gun in someones face even if it is on fictional soaps.... what do you expect if the wrong messages are continually condoned and sent.......... dont even get me going on the journo who is up before the court on flak jacket possesion.... can you imagine if the poor bugger had of been smoking and had a can of beer in his hand as well at the time ........

tomacht8 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Do not worry, the newly hired police superheros, they will catch these criminals.I just worried about Darth Vader. With its red plastic sword he will probably have no chance against a real, sharp weapon.And those little idiots have no qualms to shoot live rounds and killing people.

catinthehat Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Lucky there wasn't a plice kiosk nearby. Or else they may have been injured in the crossfire. Or mistaken for the rival gang and beat over the head. Whew dodged another bullet. Yes far too many role models packing heat and using it in the Thai soaps.

Searat7 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The lack of presence of the police on Bangkok sidewalks continues to astound me. Where are they hiding ?

slapout Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I am inclined to think of this as no matter the injury, death or hard feeling involved the people involved in this, show of how ignorant and uncaring for others they are and should be dealt with as we would a rabid dog, who was a danger to the local population. They apparently do not have the balls to arm themselves with gun, knife, club, or wahtever and meet their opponent on neutral ground and the winner walk, crawl or run away to tell everyone how mucho he is. Leave the casualities for the body chasers and the doctors and monks /preachers, etc to bless and crow over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
