Another senseless killing over here.

I do not see the significance of him shouting 'I am an Udon native', does that make him tough does it ?

My guess would be the guy is not from Udon. He just said it to throw the police off, as if they needed help being thrown off.

Fragile egos!

[daveAustin]

I think he kind of deserved the Darwin award, didn't he? Revs bike engine (annoying b******s) and then runs into a group of blokes all guns blazing when they rightly ask what he's doing.

I wonder what these type of people do in their time? Fully armed, delinquent, delusional and dangerous. What a life they choose.

[soalbundy]

too poor to use a gun, whats with all the stabbings lately, this isn't London

[gandalf12]

What in the name of everything is an "Udon Native"? Do "Udon Natives" they live in mud huts and use blow pipes to catch animals or are they just idiots? My guess would be the later but if anyone can please inform me as to you he is an "Udon Native" has any significance.

YES..."Don't fk with me! I am Udon!" COULDN'T HE JUST HAVE GIVEN HIM A BUSINESS CARD? He

didn't need to kill him to make his point, IMHO.

Imagine if he or they or any of them did have a gun.......while they may have shot and killed more than 1 person.

What ever happened to a good ol knock em down, drag em out, "fisty cuffs" altercation???

It seems nearly all the altercations turn nasty and violent real fast with the immediate use of any deadly weapons or objects on hand to inflict maximum damage while it is becoming obvious that a lot of Thai men seemingly have a whole load of pent up rage and frustration harbored inside themselves while ready to hurt and maim...and brutally kill others........ at the slightest provocation.

That and it seems that getting drunk and cruising around looking for trouble is a common past time....which goes on in many countries of course when alcohol and drunkenness are involved ...but.... were we not lead to believe that the Thais having their benevolent Buddhist beliefs are beyond such crass and heinous behavior.

Apparently, Our beliefs are being proven wrong on a daily basis.

Just saying

Cheers

From what we read about in the news of late night shootings at karaoke places in Chalong, it's the Bibs doing the shooting!
