Vivat Yodprasit, who was dubbed by media the popcorn gunman, was released on Thursday after serving less than six years in jail for his role in a shoot-out in Bangkok's Laksi district in 2014 that killed one person and wounded three others during street demonstrations.
He was sentenced by the Criminal Court in March 2016 to 33 years and four months for collaborating to commit murder and another four years for carrying firearms in public in regard to the shooting on the eve of the Feb 2, 2014 snap election.
