kurgen Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 On Tuesday Morning, Police were called to a steel construction store in Bang Pra sub-district in Sriracha after the business owner, Khun Sutaerp aged 39, had reported that he had just shot a man dead at the location. At the scene, Khun Sutaerp was placed under arrest as Police inspected the body of an unknown Thai Man, who Khun Sutaerp claimed was in the process of stealing items from his store. It is thought that the victim had committed many thefts in the local area and Khun Sutaerp claims that he had seen enough when he saw the man inside the store early on Tuesday Morning. He produced a gun and shot him dead. Khun Sutaerp is claiming self defense and because the incident occurred inside his property it is unlikely the case will be taken any further according to Police.

DonTron Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sutaerp is claiming self defense and because the incident occurred inside his property it is unlikely the case will be taken any further according to Police So all we have to do is invite our enemies to our homes and shoot them or what? This is sooo much different from back home - in Denmark you even get jail time if you try to apprehend the thief yourself. You are supposed to call the police and then passively sit down and wait while the thief robs you blind and rapes your wife etc. This Danish law got a lot of criticism on this one but the police defends the it with "so far nobody was ever shot or killed during a break-in in Denmark" and that is actually true. When burglars knows that the "victims" don’t have guns/weapons they are not likely to bring any weapons themselves, so this works a bit better than the American “shoot first” approach hehe (that said I would definitely NOT sit passively by if someone came uninvited to my home!!)
