Oh who cares? 7 shots, or was it 4 and one magic bullet from the book depository, 6 floors up. Don't make a conspiracy about it. It's really quite hard to count fired rounds:

" know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

I believe this was a different shooting in a different location, albeit fairly close to one in Sunee Plaza..

sorry i need hard facts to convience me & not the sunee chinese whispers game at work,

Walking around ANYWHERE in Pattaya at 1:30AM after the bars close and the lights go out is dangerous. It happened in Sunee this time, but never lose sight of the fact that these things happen all the time all over Pattaya in the late night/early morning hours on an almost daily basis.

Scaremonger!!! Alarmist!!! You're trying to make Pattaya sound like down-town Baghdad.

Yes these things happen from time to time but less often than in some towns in UK or USA.
You have a 12 times greater chance of dying from an infection caught inside a UK hosptal than from a violent incident in Pattaya.
Did you know that worldwide, over 150 people are killed each year by falling coconuts?
20,000 people die every year in the USA from flu!!!

Makes Pattaya sound rather tame, if you ask me.

Well....Bwanta ....after reading all of the other post of stabbings in Boyz Town yesterday and another lady being shot in the leg and then confused with the Sunee shooting victim are you ready to retract your scaremonger alarmist statements and apologise for your childish name calling?

I think it is time for you to sober up and watch what what is going on late every night, and stop wondering about wearing your rainbow colored glasses and pretending like bad things don't happen in Pattaya every night. How about a walk on the pier..or a little stroll down Beach Road at 3AM?? That could be an educational experience for you also. Then you too can have an opportunity to make a donations to all of those nice yabba addicts looking for a little help with their next purchase.

I have been in Pattaya a few days now and I guess I missed all the "action". I've been late nearly every night , and I think its safe to walk in the sois in Sunee Plaza. As long as you're not stupid and drunk.
The boys I have met have been very nice to me. No problem at all.

I believe this was a different shooting in a different location, albeit fairly close to one in Sunee Plaza..

If this is the case, I find it strange that the local press issue a report on the non-fatal
shooting and not a word from the media (local or national) about the alleged
fatal shooting on the same night,at the same time, in the same vicinity.

The local media in Pattaya is usually always quick to report on accidents/murders/suicides
with graphic pictures and BiB pointing at blood/victim/shell casings etc.
But a fatal shooting in Sunee Plaza, not a "dickey bird".

Perhaps they don't want to give the area a bad name!

It would be merciful if the moderators would delete this thread as its author erred and it wasn't true.
A relatively minor incident was blown out of proportion by several farangs and misunderstanding of what had happened
from some Thai boys turned this into a mountain out of a molehill. both hans is 100% correct...

Well, at least it is good news that no murder occurred and there was no gunfire in Sunne Plaza,althou there
was gunfire nearby but no murder..

[Shuee]

hahaha no problem cat, but you should have known better, being a sunee veteran & your two feet on the soi's there

Are you?

This failure to verify anything before posting seems to be contagious, if not epidemic. It is hardly checking the big bang theory or the origin of the species, for heaven's sake.

I am certain that the original post by cat was made by him believing that the information he was given was true. I am also certain that it will be a long while before he believes again any information given to him by the sources responsible for informing him of the shooting. However, one thing that cat has said since his initial post that no one has made any comment about and which amazes me more than anything else, is when he stated: ""Good news that no murder occurred". Doesn't anybody else feel good about that factor?


George.

[Gone Fishing]

No.

[jinks]

MY SOURCES WERE INCORRECT AND IT WAS A CASE OF WILDLY EXAGGERATED STORIES BEING TOLD AND DID REFER TO THE LEG SHOOTING REPORTED BY THE PRESS..
BOTH HANS IS CORRECT AS ARE OTHERS THAT THIS 7 GUNSHOOTS STORY WASN'T TRUE AND

I DO APOLOGIZE FOR REPORTING A FALSEHOOD..

I WILL BE MORE CAREFUL WITH MY USUALLY RELIABLE SUNEE PLAZA SOURCES IN THE FUTURE...

Therefore this red herring thread is closed. Just be thankful for the above.
