Ayuthaya restaurant shooting leaves two dead, many injured in hail of bullets

[jerojero]

Un-Believable! Murder intent, with total disregard for bystanders including kids! And 10 shooters? Real macho...Retards.

The incidence of gun possession and use here is staggering yet no one in authority seems in the least bit concerned

There are rarely any official comment and never any suggestion of a ' crackdown, purge ' or any of the usual buzz words that sound grand but mean absolutely nothing.

Lot of noobs on this thread who actually believe the police line this was over a girl. Must have just arrived on their first retirement extension.

And your expert opinion is ?

[bamukloy]

Sounds like another one of those trade school/gang rivalries to me.

Maybe the girl took up with a kid from a rival gang.

That would certainly do it.

Thai soap operas have a bad influence imo

[MaiChai]

Is it me or is Thailand becoming more lawless and dangerous?

[Bluespunk]

Am sure no crimes of passion were committed anywhere else in the world today.

10 guys rolling up to a restaurant armed with guns is not a crime of passion , it's premeditated murder.

"They believe that the shooting is over a woman. One of the victims had been showing an interest in a woman at the restaurant. She had just split up from another man. Police believe that friends of the ex-boyfriend carried out the shooting as he was jealous of her having a new lover."

All this over a man's 15 seconds of satisfaction (His satisfaction. Obviously not her's).

You can cure cure poverty, you can cure injustice, you can even cure ignorance, but in the LOS, Stupid (AKA Saving Face) is here to stay.

And you can't cure stupid.
