At least 37 killed in Thai Day Care attack
« on: October 06, 2022, 11:07:10 AM »
Former policeman who was in court just hours before for drug offenses opens fire at a day care where his child was a regular pupil in Nong Bua Lamphu province Thailand. He then crashes his vehicle into a crowd and opens fire before returning home and killing his wife and child. He then shot himself. Reportedly used a 9mm handgun.

Developing story so info may change somewhat

Appears we're to blame according to March For Our Lives (David Hogg and gang) and we need more gun control because of what happened in Thailand
Quote
    Today, Thailand experienced its deadliest mass shooting by a lone gunman. We are sickened that more & more CHILDREN are forced to live this horror.

    This is a global poison & we can’t help but wonder: what example has the U.S. set for the world? We must all be better than this. https://t.co/q6NGtXUVm9

Did they mention it was a policeman?

Even though this was in Thailand, was the perp wearing a MAGA hat and driving a car with TRUMP 2024 bumper stickers?
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Sounds like some kids got lucky

Quote
Speaking to the BBC, she said usually there were 92 children who attend the centre. But due to bad weather and a broken down bus, only 24 children had shown up.

Quote
The teachers tried to lock the door to stop him from entering, but he broke in and went into the rooms where the kids were sleeping.

Only one child survived, according to Nanticha.
