darksidedog Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Shot for revving their bike engines? I'm sure that for people with a brain only slightly larger than a peanut, that would make sense. There is a good chance at least some of these people are known to each other, so hopefully these @rseholes will be arrested soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z42 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 The ages of some of those involved in such petty acts is a damning indictment. 30 year olds shot because he was revving his motorbike engine. Pathetic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pentap Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thankfully, I did not read of any foreigners being affected by such a sad occurrence by mindless <deleted>...Not only did they inflict injury to one another, but more importantly, they have spoilt a happy event for other Thai people and possibly tourists / ex-pats alike?Last year, during Songkran, I saw on YouTube, the horrific attack on a an innocent British family, whereby the elderly British lady, whilst on the floor, after being punched by a male, was then kicked in the head.In my opinion, I'll go along with the usual Thai response by saying "UP TO THEM"!

Kabula Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Human brains in many now, have the thinking ability of a gold fish.

The thing is most are not Buddhists any more than people claiming to be Christians or any other religion are. They tend to assume they are because their family followed a particular religion.

elgordo38 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Like in the Philippines when you enter a bar when you enter the water play? area there should be a booth there with a sign "Check your guns here" Yes all you Songkran boosters its just all good clean fun with a twist of course. What a price to pay for some "good clean fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RigPig Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Once again, the "status" of having a gun and lack of credible enforcement..... What happened to all the guns the police had before they were replaced by Sig Sauer's? The supply of automatic weapons down South? Where are all these guns, and more importantly the ammo coming from? A gun with no bullets is a club or a paperweight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidream Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 This is a perfect example of why Songkran water throwing must be limited and why a police presence must be on hand at all times. By the time the police arrived- the injured were at the hospital and the alleged perpetrators had left the scene. The amount of mayhem that occurs due to lack of any credible deterrent is mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
