Morbid Mortality Monthly - June

Anyone who has been exposed to the horrors of a karaoke night will have probably felt the urge to grab a gun and relieve the pain between their ears by either shooting themselves or the so-called performer in front of them. However it was not the singer that ended up getting shot when policeman Lieutenant Corporal Jirawat Sangworn go up to perform at a downtown Bangkok karaoke bar one night in June 2000.

The policeman was enraged when his attempt to the sing the same sentimental Thai ballad for a forth time that evening was meet with jeers. When one karaoke bar patron called out "Get this limp prick off, we are sick of his shit," Corporal Jirawat pulled out his service revolver and fired six shots into the crowd, instantly providing the ultimate heckler putdown.
