Cambodia News (Kandal): On July 10, 2020, a 30-year-old man, Chea Sangha, a military officer, was arrested after attacking another military officer in Svay Chrum village, Ksach Kandal district, Kandal. The victim was identified as Leang Sothy, a 26-year-old military officer, who suffered a head injury from a gunshot wound.

The authorities confiscated a pistol K54, a magazine and 8 bullets from the attacker. It appears that he was annoyed because of the victim's allegedly blinding motorbike lights, so he pulled out his gun and shot at the victim.

The suspect with the evidence was sent to the police station for case preparations.

Lol, I've got more night miles than any non HGV driver I know in Cambodia, and I definitely feel the shooters pain here!

I bet he was aiming for the headlight.

Road rage. I'm happy and surprised the victim was able to keep up or able to identify the suspect to the police.

IDK if they were both in motion when he made the shot or not. If so, that would be a pretty good shot even if he was aiming at the headlight. He'd have to let the gap get big enough for the shot angle, use a one-handed grip, blindly aim as his eyes are peeled to the road. I can see this guy pulling an Ace-Venture by half hanging out of the window making the Clint Eastwood face while rattling off shots. "Caution, assholes may be closer than they appear."

I hope my odd sense of humor of this doesn't offend anyone.

The guy in the purple looks to be pretty good considering he was 'shot in the head'.

Just saying

"Man in uniform with socialy-reinforced ego and feelings of power and invulnerability shoots..."
....again.

This is one (just 1) of the reasos why all those uniformed servants of the citizery need need to be constantly reminded not to everstep their sacred role one inch. Ever!
For their psycic benefit as much as for the citizen's security and safety.
It's not about bashing the cops, or the military, but events everywhere show that a uniform and a gun tends to go to a mans head - if not held firmly in check.

Speaking of guns and the ego; any word on Mishmash?

No word here. I sent him a PM in case he ever tuned in, but not opened.

If you are out there (so to speak) Mish - drop in and say g'day.......

Just saying

"Never underestimate the healing abilities of Tiger Balm dear friend "

“HE told provincial officials that influential people must face punishment if they wield or fire their guns in public.”

This from 2012. Any examples set since?
