Well done General Pornsak, exactly what he needs. The mans a clown, getting drunk, carrying a gun trying to get in a nightclub, any man doing that is bad enough, but a policeman, shocking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 Will probably get off with a Wai and a 500 baht fine, under the influence of alcohol, not in right mind, badda bing, badda bang, badda boom. Maybe he gets hit by a car travelling at high speed crossing the road, ooops, break failure. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solinvictus Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) I was at the gym today and next to it there was an off duty cop in his white tee and brown uniform pants. A group of mates, enjoy a drink, the usual. But today, I noticed he was not playing the air guitar but air pistol. That's right, he was practicing his form for firing that pistol! I thought to myself, was he worried about his ability to fire a pistol? Or could he be reflecting on the poor noodle vendor and another officer was in the WRONG. ????

The most shocking thing about it is that he just shot the next best guy passing by because the bouncer wouldn’t let him in the club! Why didn’t he shoot the bouncer? By that I don’t mean he should’ve done that, but I really don’t get shooting the fruit vendor! He had nothing to do with it whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bouncers would shoot and maybe killed him first if he would go after them. Noodle guy was next easy target to compensate his loss of face.
