A police spokesperson was quoted as saying by the BBC that the groom “was quite intoxicated at the time”.

They seem to think that is a fair explanation.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You know what they say, guns and alcohol go together like peas and carrots. That is what they say, isn't it? Isn't it?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 43 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's weird, I've been really drunk and I've murdered maybe two people. Tops.

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Next time, try more alcohol or more guns.

[–] jwt@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Or put wodka in a supersoaker, a twofer.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I thought we weren’t supposed to talk about that.

It was your rule!

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The Fall of the House of Usher reference?

[–] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

What a great show. So happy to binge it.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nope, sorry.

No clue what that is

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 1 points 11 months ago

Netflix horror show based on Edgar Allen Poe's short stories. Has Mark Hamill. Pretty good.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago

I don't think so...but they do say Asians can't process alcohol very well.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world -2 points 11 months ago

Just a thought, but it seems like the Big Black Cock might have played a role in this tragedy.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it wasn't some drunken rampage.. they were together for three years, and on the day of the wedding while they're just sitting around at somebody's house, he snaps and shoots her, her mother, and her sister.. then kills himself.. he was a 29 year old ex-military athlete missing a leg, she was 44..

Has to be said: The only way to stop a bad groom with a gun is a good groom with a gun.

[–] CazzoBuco@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The real solution is to make sure everyone involved with the wedding is armed. Including the ring bearers, whether they be child, dog, goat, etc.

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I always have three knives on me at every wedding I attend.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Quit being racist with that goat shit.

We all know Thailand is full of moped riding monkeys wearing denim, and smoking cigarettes.

There was a whole documentary about it.

[–] CazzoBuco@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

(I have no clue what you're on about, and frankly, I'm not known to be omniscient)

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Hangover 2 is a movie based in Thailand that features said monkey. Lol

getting married

existential crisis hit to the extreme

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Good title for a trashy murder novel:

Cold Feet & Hot Lead

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

That’s brilliant actually. Except it would be the woman who shot the husband, and she’d fall in love with the investigator and make passionate love on the beach.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Even colder now.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Apparently he was missing a leg so just cold foot

[–] Amanduh@kbin.social 11 points 11 months ago

Jesus thats dark

It's like the unwanted worthless waste runoff from reddit wound up here

[–] Damdy@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago

What an introduction.

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cultural differences always interest me. According to American sitcoms, just killing the mother in law would be sufficient.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

it's really a failure on the part of the Best Man.. he's specifically supposed to restrain you from killing your mother in law on your wedding day..

[–] Damdy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Should we write our own vows?

Yeah, is it okay if mine is a performance piece? It may be a bit avant garde though. I think your sister would get it.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

I would say this is a bit extreme for a divorce, but I don't know Thailands customs.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 0 points 11 months ago

This incident comes just days after Thai interior minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed an order to suspend the issuance of gun licences for a year.

… thank you for your sacrifice?

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago

Sometimes you gotta play the long game.

[–] jafffacakelemmy@kbin.social -5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Gosh, she really dodged a bullet there. Oh, wait; maybe she didn't........
