[Thaiger]

A Robb Elementary School-like tragedy was avoided thanks to quick-thinking police in Pattaya. A crazed gunman shot and killed 19 children and two adults last week at the Texas primary school in an incident that shocked the world. Thankfully another tragedy was avoided when police reacted instantly to the danger of a man high on drugs, who threatened to harm children at the Nong Jabtao School in the Khao Chee Chan area south of Pattaya.

This is so far off in many way how its the same he was un armed and quick thinking from the police that make me laugh

"Alerted to the fracas, children ran away from the 46 year old man, who was unarmed, and police managed to apprehend him before he could cause any harm."

This is SO NOT the same situation. It's an embarrasment that it was even reported as such.

The RTP have to appear to be good at something, they are pretty useless at everything else.

I'm sorry to say this but the headline of this article is an insult to the families of the children and teachers killed in the Texas shooting.

Disgraceful

A shameful comparison and an insult to the memory of those who died in Texas. Take this article down please. 

[Gilmai]

This comparison is wildly inappropriate. It is neither accurate nor respectful. For shame.

Inaccurate & suggestive reporting is kind of the norm over here, but using that style to try to capitalize on the recent Texas murder spree is a new low, even by my standards.

I never look at who authors an article (just to avoid preconceptions), but the way it is composed looks familiar enough to warrant strike #2.

Don't normally say this, but kudos to the RTP, they certainly show up the cowardly Cops in Texas.

It was a very similar situation, the aggressor was a male, the children involved were all children and they were in a school, the situations were almost a mirror image of each other.
