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 15 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Next time, try more alcohol or more guns.

[–] jwt@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Or put wodka in a supersoaker, a twofer.

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

It was your rule!

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

The Fall of the House of Usher reference?

[–] Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What a great show. So happy to binge it.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope, sorry.

No clue what that is

[–] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

getting married

existential crisis hit to the extreme

Good title for a trashy murder novel:

Cold Feet & Hot Lead

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

Even colder now.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Apparently he was missing a leg so just cold foot

[–] Amanduh@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

Jesus thats dark

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

[–] Damdy@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

What an introduction.

[–] magnetosphere@kbin.social 8 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

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 -4 points 2 years ago

Sometimes you gotta play the long game.

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