I wasn't condoning shooting him, just thought the method was unusual given he was on a rampage and not surrendering. I don't think any guns were even drawn.
Like you say though, their action appears justified if none of the police officers were injured when tackling him.

I saw a video of the police apprehending the murderer using, what looked like, shepherd hooks. Couldn't see clearly but I don't think he'd dropped the knife as they cornered him. I did wonder why he wasn't shot, even if not fatally, at that point. Hopefully, the police threw him a welcome party last...

Deleted, as pointed out by vlad comment was inappropriate.

Also, don't drink tap water, stick to bottled. You can get a water dispenser and have the big bottles delivered to avoid plastic waste. In my village the tap water comes from a silo in the local school and, in the past, all sorts have been found in the pipes. I went on to buy bottled water and once ...

What an irritating voice this loon has.

I've always said that you can't argue with stupid so I won't even bother.

The UK isn't in the stone age, anyone can have fresh food delivered to their door by supermarkets. The logistics aren't the problem.

Fact is, the quickest way to halt covid19 is if EVERYONE self isolates, not just specific groups.

Watching Boris on Sky, the view I got was that the UK appears to accept that a high percentage of people in the UK, will inevitably contract the virus, regardless of what is done. Maybe it's Boris's tactic for reelection? Covid19 death rates in the elderly are much higher which, in a few years, wou...

Aye, Farangs are dirty, can't disagree with that but so are Thais. For a country that relies heavily on tourism, they do a good job of putting foreign visitors off. How many reported cases are there of farangs with covid-19 in Thailand so far? I've not been counting but I can only remember one in th...

I've heard that not even coronavirus wants to go to Scunthorpe

Petty quarrels are what UdonMap seems to be for these days.
I suppose grumpy old gadgies need an outlet.

Where's the logic in queueing with crowds of people for masks or tests? Surely the sensible option is to avoid crowds? Many farangs in Udon will be the last to get the disease since they choose to self isolate most of the time anyway.

I'm flying through China on my way to Thailand soon so if anyone wants to build up their immune system I'll pay you a visit for the price of a bottle of Leo.

Mrs 94's house in Udon.

What became of Mrs. 93?

See above, she was sacrificed as she was tainted.

Soon be songkran and most will be wishing for these temperatures!

One of the fastest growing chain of shops in the UK is the fashion chain 'Primark'. Since it's introduction to the UK it has used brown paper bags in various sizes - which I understand are bio-degradable. :D I have no idea about the 'green/eco-friendly' aspects of paper bags: but at least they aren...

4. The ‘dingo fence’ is the longest fence in the world (5,530km shortened from m 8600km in 1980). It is about twice as long as the Great Wall of China and didn't cost an estimated $33Billion USD which started at $4 Billion on another structure Something similar could of saved Trump a lot of effort,...

Wonder how many American's would be stateless if we only had their name to go off. Not many Dances with Wolves about these days to advise.

Is Isaan beer still on the go? I remember that being even worse than Archa. When it's hot I will drink most beers provided they are pre cooled and do not have ice in them. I've generally always prefered Leo when I'm buying though. I've never noticed different % on the same brand beer before. Having ...

Okay...here comes the "ban the guns" and "it's all Trump's fault" crowd. Over the years the US and other countries have spiraled into a culture of violence brought on by bastards brought up in single parent homes, collecting welfare and sitting around watching violent video games all day. Society h...

Terrorism with very little terror. In global terror terms it's really just a fart in a lift. Thankfully those innocent 3 are still alive although, sadly, most likely suffered life long injuries. The timing of the detonations suggest they didn't want to hurt/kill huge numbers but the secondary blast,...
