https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/cri ... s-embassy/BANGKOK — A former U.S. Marine and Iraq War veteran was arrested for planting a suspicious package in front of the U.S. embassy in Bangkok, police said Tuesday.
Police identified the suspect as Lucas McCamy, 35, who is currently working as an American English teacher at a school in Chonburi province. He was taken into custody shortly after he left a parcel box in front of the U.S. embassy this morning.
The area was cordoned off and explosive ordnance disposal officers were called in to inspect the device. They found that it only contained a Muay Thai boxer doll, batteries, pieces of cloth and paper.
His motives are not immediately clear.
Police said the suspect remains silent after his arrest and appears to have a mental condition. He will be sent to Somdet Chaopraya Institute of Psychiatry for checkup before charges can be filed against him.
According to police, his relatives said McCamy served in Iraq, but he developed a mental condition after he was hit by an explosion.

Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
A quick look at his FB profile, sadly appears his demons have gotten the better of him and unfortunately appears he has totally lost his grip on reality
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

There's a goldmine of stuff on that Facebook page:
He wasn't a marine though, he was US army.Today has been interesting. A lot of hard truths became visible to me in the past week. But today I want to talk about something I dont usually bring up. Today I am announcing my endorsement and intention to vote for Donald J. Trump for president in November. I am donating the maximum of 2500$ to his re election campaign. He did fulfill something for me. He gave my Friend and Mentor Clint Lorance his life back. I am not voting for him because I am a Racist Bigot or misogynist. I am none of those things. I am not voting for him because I love the Rich, quite the opposite.
America as well as the world has a lot of problems facing it and everyone wants to look the other way and pretend like nothing is coming our way. I am voting for Trump because I live America and in order for the world to get better, things need to get a whole lot worse. I think Trump with unlimited restraint can be the president to finally flush the toilet on the country that has been circling the drain for some time. Only after we've lost everything are we free to do anything. I wouldn't trust The American people to drive my car. So heres to Trump bankrupting America. Maybe then you people will do something. I'll be staying In my current home, which I might add is the safest place on the planet right now until COVID is under control. This will be my last post for awhile. I need to focus on my own goals right now. And to All the people who are going to say I'm un american or whatever for this post, I dont really give a shit what you think. Go serve 12 years fighting in the Global war on Terror then come back and talk to me. Peace out and good luck everyone.

I never have an interest nor inclination to read somebody else's FB page but that quote above does not sound like the words of somebody who has lost the plot. However, knowing when it was written might be useful.

It's from over a year ago. I thought it was funny. Sure it's intrusive but it's not the average person who deposits a fake bomb outside an embassy so I was intrigued. More recent posts were just strange, the guy was way into Sci-fi stuff. I blame Star Trek.

He talks about voting for Trump in Nov! How can it have been written a year ago? Then again, if it was written a year ago it does show a slight touch of the hatter about him.

Well, at least he's probably getting his wish with regards to the U.S. going down the toilet right now?

Election day in the US is always in November. Anyway it was actually posted on March 16th. It seems very much tongue in cheek.

Fortunately his PTSD and any other psychological condition he might have will receive top drawer treatment from the finest clinicians.

Listen, you fuckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up.

Look, loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There’s no escape. I’m God’s lonely man.
