I was merely pointing out how dangerous the streets are becoming (an added danger on top of the road incidents). I used to avoid the Philippines for this very reason as I had always viewed Thailand to be 'safe' for civilians. It adds to the mounting issues already making me seriously consider giving Thailand a miss altogether this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now two gunmen shooting indiscriminately at locals in the past week. This country has never had to deal with this sort of Western influenced behaviour before now. Its not a new thing at all, folks get shot regular here have and always will be as such, its just grabbing headlines and do note he was making a lot of noise for the adrenalin rush and then did a runner but doesnt state any one was hit ? says it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Man arrested after firing gunshots at sport apparel store By THE NATION A man who fired gunshots at a sport apparel store in Pathumwan was arrested by police at 10am on Friday (February 14). There were no reports of deaths or injuries. At 8.30am on Friday (February 14), police from Pathumwan Police Station deployed blockades around a commercial building in Soi Chula 10, Banthat Thong Road in Wangmai subdistrict of Pathumwan district after over 20 gunshots were heard early in the morning. According to police, the sound of gunshots originated from a sport apparel shop on the building’s ground floor. They found a man aged around 40 who admitted that he had fired a gun at around 4am while aiming outside the store. Police speculated that the suspect fired the gun because he was under stress due to family problems.

Popular Post Farangwithaplan Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, baansgr said: Was only a matter of time befor the copy cats came out. Let's hope the government and judicial services clamp down hard on this befor it becomes the norm. Thailand with all its scams has always felt reasonably safe. Never one for the death penalty but public executions for perpetrators in these crimes may be a deterrent The account I read stated that the guy was shooting at no place in particular at 4am in the morning. It would be a stretch to call this situation a copy cat style of the horrific Korat or Jewelry store tragedies if the account I refer to is correct.

Cake Monster Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 1 hour ago, cmsally said: Been saying it for a long time, but with the state of the economy and the breakdown of many elements of society, this is going to be happening more often. More people are just going to snap. And with the recent high profile tragic shooting incident in Korat, some unhinged individuals will look to gain the same fame and notoriety by performing the exact same kind of insane deed. This was inevitable after the Korat incident, and for sure there will be more similar incidents in the near future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was simply asking a question. Unfortunately simple questions get misconstrued as anti-Thai which I most certainly am not. I was merely alluding to the fact that there has been a clear pattern these recent weeks and months of gun violence with innocent civilians being targeted.

Extremists? Surely that is a little extreme here? There has no suggestion that any of the recent shooters were part of any fundamentalist groups or parties. Random shooters may be displaying extreme behaviours, but does that make them extremists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaanbiker Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The suspect is said to be a 40 year old man. Police said he may have been experiencing family problems.
