On 8th Feb 2020, in the North-eastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, a soldier shot dead his commanding officer and mother-in-law over a financial dispute. The soldier went on to steal weapons and a Humvee before driving to Terminal 21 Korat Shopping Mall, where he continued his killing rampage. 32-year-old beauty advisor, Ratcharnon Chestnork, was there. He was trapped in an electric control room overnight, and was one of the last people to be rescued before the Thai authorities went in and took out the gunman.

"We would fight, we would help one another. Whoever makes it will make it, and whoever couldn't make it out, at least they got to help others" "I was able to get past this difficult situation, it helps me handle other difficult things" What a strong mindset they have

I was in Korat when it happened..i was lucky the bus i was in was delayed for 30minutes. By the time i walked to the mall from the bus station, the entire city was already on lockdown and i was turned away by police from entering the mall... The entire city turned in a ghost city within the next hour with no one was wanting to venture out as there was unverified news that there were other shootings around the city...it was a difficult time as i had friends waiting for me in the mall. One of them was working in the deli in the supermarket downstair. She was shot dead by the shooter. The rest escaped. I could have been one of those unfortunate victims if my bus was on time. I count my lucky stars....

Dude we didn't have mass shooting every other monday. I would say in the Siam case first responders do a really good job controlling the situation. The same can't be said for other cases tho. The police home shooting took almost 2 days to end.

@@Joe-mm4onYour reply just shows how uneducated and ignorant you are. Not every country is the same, Thailand doesn’t have what the US almost has on a daily basis. It would only make sense for the Thai people to not know whag to do. Took the US a period of time to get adapted to their new norm. Even saying that is disgusting because mass shootings are considered a norm there in the US. Isn’t that embarrassing instead? To see your country in a state of such despair where kids can’t even go to school safe because they worry a guy will come shooting at their school. We’re specifically only talking about safety of students here so no need to mention that your country is richer than them. Can’t even keep track how many shootings you guys had.

@smolseal 6 ай бұрын

⁠@@Joe-mm4on That’s silly. Just because it occurs often in America, we should set it as a standard, see it as another normal day? Getting used to this kind of violence is sick. The mass shooting shouldn’t happen at the first place, no matter where.
