webfact Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Man pays a heavy price for trying to make peace in Chanthaburi By The Nation An armed clash between two youth gangs in Chanthaburi province on Tuesday ended when a man who tried to intervene got caught in the crossfire. Early on Tuesday, police responded to calls and showed up at the shooting site in Pak Saeng fruit market to find Thammarat Suntorn, 34, with several gunshot wounds and a left hand that badly damaged by a bomb. He was immediately taken to Prapokklao Hospital. Police collected 12 bullet shells and a few grenades as evidence. According to witnesses, the two gangs began fighting at the market before Thammarat showed up to break them up with a grenade in his hand to threaten them with. However, he was caught in the crossfire, and the grenade in his hand exploded. Thammarat had been arrested in 2015 for gun possession and attempt to murder, but managed to escape. He will be detained once he recovers.

spidermike007 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I am sure glad the gang activity here is almost entirely Thai on Thai. Not like in the PI, where alot of guys will mess with you as a foreigner, just for sport, or out of desperation. Otherwise, these tussles are simply Darwinism. They are what they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this was the crowning achievement for his Masters Thesis. It may cast doubt on his thesis defense arguments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
