It's perfectly natural to want to shoot some of these security jobsworth types, especially the ones who work at banks or the ones who stop three lanes of traffic so they can direct parked cars to reverse into the road and claim a tip. However, actually acting on that desire is probably taking things just a bit too too far.

The security guys have always been courteous and friendly when I’ve used banks and other businesses here, and is helping customers in their vehicles back safely onto the road such a bad thing?

It is when they illegally stop you and 200 other people abruptly so that some twat can reverse onto the main road slowly,

anyhow, clearly my post wasn't very serious - I only want to shoot one in five security guard jobsworths, on average

Security guard shoots colleague in quarrel at workplace

A bank security guard was shot in his right leg by his colleague during a quarrel at their work premises yesterday afternoon.

The gunman fled after the shooting at the CIMB bank in Tuol Kork district’s Boeng Kak I commune at about 1.30pm.

Boeng Kak I police deputy chief Major Vong Savoeun said Lun Chivoan, 25, a suspended soldier and 47-year-old Khun Vorn, are employees of Safeguard Cambodia and on duty at the CIMB Bank.

Maj Savoeun said Chivoan and Vorn had an argument and were about to punch it out when they were stopped by other colleagues.

“Vorn continued to curse and insult Chivoan and Chivoan pulled out a pistol and shot Vorn in the right leg. Chivoan then fled on his motorcycle,” Maj Savoeun said.

Maj Savoeun said police are now searching for Chivoan and that Chivoan is likely to be charged with “attempted murder and unauthorised holding weapon” which provides for a jail term of 10 years or more.
