Bottom line is that the <deleted> or anyone else for that matter should not have been able to take a weapon into the club to begin with.  Now he will get a slap on the wrist and told "you naughty boy, do not do that again", he will wait and everything will be forgotten.  Truth is he should be locked up.

[observer90210]

Any government with a somewhat sane mind, would seize the firearm for good, from this crazy jerk!..And make him do some time in a seedy jail..

[Prbkk]

At 1.00am and a drunk is waving a pistol? Was he being served alcohol? Don't alcohol venues have to close by then? How did he get in with a gun? Does the establishment have a "responsible serving " of alcohol policy? Or is the the same as most venues, ie, we will serve you as long as you can pay, until you are unconscious? These incidents will continue to be ' grist for the mill' for the wowsers/zealots who would love to close them all down.

The Tawan Dang has a load of security and scanners...how can this happen in a place like that?

 

I won't go there anymore, the beer isn't nice anyway.

I pack a Sig Sauer .357 almost everywhere I go in the USA. I'd never DREAM of taking it into a drinking establishment.....Granted Tawan Daeng is not a go-go bar...I've been there several times, got sauced & took a taxi home. There are many people sauced up, having a good time.

 

Bringing a pistol out and waving it around can get you 5 years or better in a country where people have an iota of brains...Err, where laws are enforced I should say.

I thank Baby Jesus the only things i have to "pack" when I go out in my home country are, keys, wallet and maybe phone,

[Gracas]

Putting aside the fact that he pulled a gun on a guy for not touching his hand.

We have a 48 year old man acting like a teenage girl.

[johng]

 Names of the people who banned him please and, name the locations he was banned from.... Otherwise the statement is not true and just anti democracy propaganda.

So a drunk idiot waves a loaded gun around because his ego was battered so easily.

This is the calibre of people in the armed forces. It obviously looks bad enough on first glance, but this is just pathetic. 

Wonder if the gunman will get any more punishment. If i was a betting man, my money would be on the uploader of the video to lose a ton of cash fighting spurious defamation suits.

I would say we'll see about that, but dreadful follow up reporting means we very likely won't

 

He is sure to be done for defaming the air force and under the Computer Crimes Act,  

[nasanews]

It is prohibited for all government employees to carry a gun under the influence of alcohol.

[balo]

I always try to avoid drunk Thai men. One out of five are carrying guns and will use them . Just stay away .

Amazing Thailand- where you take a gun to a music pub and actually can get it inside!

And still wearing his uniform too. Ridiculous.

You'd think security/bouncers at a big popular pub would have metal detector wands at the entrance.

The Tawan Daeng on Rama 3 certainly does. I have been there many times and always been checked.

That'ts all most folks pack. Fair enough.

 

Send me a picture of yourself. I'll be sure to mind my own business when a maniac waves a 9 mm in your face.

[hgma]

He was accompanied  by a fellow (officer?) soldier who clearly wasn't as joyful as the soldier in question when he was ordered to be questioned by police.

'Explaining' well the usual surreal excuses, and laughing nervously!

NOT some one to be in the promotion pipeline i think!

 

[outsider]

Fragile ego. Infantile behaviour. Symptoms of SPS - Small Pecker Syndrome.

 

Imagine what would happen if someone didn't give him face while he's flying a fully-armed F16... these militarymen - instead of being well-trained and a pillar of discipline, they walk around showing just how small they really are. Poor sods.

scary to know that nuts with guns are in these music venues... not that I go, but damn.  

12 years ago there was a performance of Loso in my town.
I went to that performance on my own and was told by the security guards that it was not a good idea.
They let me in, but they asked me to stay at the place the put me and watch out.
The first band appeared and they made a good performance.
After 2 hours, about 9 pm, Loso appeared on stage.
At this moment, hell broke out and I could hear gunshots from everywhere.
A guard came to me and asked me to leave the grounds as Loso was not going to play.
The next day, I could read in the newspapers that 2 people died from gunshots and 4 others were wounded.

Are they sure he pulled the gun because he wouldn't shake hands or could it be because he wouldn't shut the <deleted> up and get someone on stage who could sing in tune!

[KKr]

where I lived before, guns were handed in together with the overcoats.
no way, one would get in with a gun.
moreover, even behind metal detectors, security did spot-checks on the floor.
So in 2017, how the .... , can they let someone with a firearm into a concert hall.

[eeyang wah]

I hope he gets his sub-human head kicked in while in custody.

[swanny321]

  Maybe he was requesting a rendition of Stand and Deliver by Adam Ant?

[bannork]

2 sides of Pongsit:

The first song about a prostitute

The second about his father working as a labourer in the Middle-East.

 

 

 

[YetAnother]

people tend to over-focus on pointing a gun and not shaking hands; that is so, so thai;

get to the heart of the matter, he committed a crime; garbage to all that other distraction

[swanny321]

  Maybe he thought the music was crap.

[Isaandon]

Airman? What does he fly? The Kite!  Choke Wow...And they let these <deleted> carry guns. <deleted>!

[lemonjelly]

In a developed country, said airman would: a) lose his freedom
lose his job in the armed forces
c) lose his gun licence

I doubt any of the above will happen here; untouchables.

This is what passes as 'maturity' in a third-world country.  
What?  Thailand?  You think you're not third-world?  Just look at idiots like this and your 'Roads of Death.'  You are third-world and destined to stay as such for a long time.
