Shooting victim Anupol Nuchoi recovers in a Phuket hospital

Phuket Man Says, I Was Shot After Calling Out to Women

Sunday, October 20, 2013
PHUKET: Anupol Nuchoi, 31, has told Phuket police that he was shot in the right leg by a member of a gang of youths who rode on motorcycles to a spot in the Rassada district of Phuket City while he was drinking with friends about 10pm on Friday. Earlier, he and his friends had called out loudly to two young women. Police believe the shooter and his gang were friends of the two young women, objecting to the cat-calls.

I have a funny feeling it was not " Hello, Welcome " he was shouting...

Another statistic to add to the ever increasing level of crime.

What ''ever increasing level of crime''? Only in your head, DSI Watcher - although expats are certainly committing more than their share lately.

ED, the police dept's own statistics
Before mediation
2,737 crimes in 2006
4,758 in 2009
After intro of mediation Jan. 2010
8,201 in 2013
Be aware these are only the crimes recorded as many people are actively dissuaded from reporting crimes and of course those mediated are not recorded.

Editor Comment:

I'd suggest the figures are probably more comprehensively compiled now than they were in 2006, and that minor drugs offences take out 80 percent of them all. Without a breakdown on major crimes and crimes of violence, the bald statistics have little meaning. The population of Phuket has probably increased more than in any other seven year term.

Ed, can you back that up, or are you assuming or guessing?

Editor Comment:

Can't stick with the topic? Need to resort to petty point-scoring? Pathetic, DSI Watcher. Goodbye.

Ed, I was not trying to "point score," you opened the door by your comment re: "What "ever increasing level of crime"? Only in your head, DSI Watcher." Your comment needed a reply, to show the numbers were not made up, by me. If you had not replied, I would not have made the comment which seems to have offended you.

Editor Comment:

You've quoted figures that you obtained from another news site, DSI Watcher, not directly from the police, as you led us to believe. In other words, you have no information of your own to add. You just want to playact . . . Goodbye.

Ed, we all, including you, get info from somewhere, whether it is from "anonymous people..eg todays story of slavery or direct from an official government source, it seems some things are ok for to do but not for your readers, so be it. You can rule the roost if your ego needs to....I have better things to do than to debate with you. I will continue to post comments, albeit under a different "anonymous" name, but no more debating with you, this is not a win but really a loss for you as your ego has grown larger than the man.

Editor Comment:

I don't have an ego, DSI Watcher. What I do have is a respect for the truth and for the accurate sourcing of all information. You misled me and other readers into thinking you had some reliable information. You're making it all up again. Goodbye.

editor stop abusing your readers you wrongly call your reader pathetic, what is that? the comments are for readers to share opinions, not you like some snarling poodle barking from a car at every passerby. if you have comments for readers then leave your readers alone. if you want to be an egotistical primadonna, then don't provide a comments function.

Good idea. In your case, the comments function is hereby cancelled, smith.
