Dap Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 poor kid - BUT no disputes with anyone ever????? Is entirely possible. He is after all, just a teenager, and working for a living to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greer Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Poor kid - what mongrel would take a shot at a teenager for nothing - and it may have actually been an attempt to hit one of the gas tanks. Luckily if the police catch the bastard, the charge is attempted murder. I hope they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 According to another news source which can’t be mentioned, due to rule # something. Police now believe it may have been related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loptr Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 not to get completely off topic but you need a very big gun with armour piercing bullets to blow up a gas tank ( proofed by mythbusters) hope he will make a full recovery Strange, we used to do that with regular cartridges... ditto. It doesn't take an armor piercing shell to penetrate 1.8mm of cold-rolled steel. Mythbusters? Please, don't make me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Mythbusters showed that it was very difficult to ignite a gas container with a bullet. Not that they couldn't be pierced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Unbelievable! What is this place coming to? (Rhetorical question). Hope the guy recovers OK. And recently the story of a n ex-cop caught selling handguns to teenagers in Pattaya, from memory already sold some 140 or so, no questions asked, licenses obviously not in the equation.

Valentine Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 A couple of years back there many reports about teenage/motorbike gangs brawling at Saphan Hin with the use of knives, swords, pen guns & I do not for one minute believe the police have cleared up this problem. Not saying the young guy was part of a gang but it may be related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
