Drunk, angry and armed

News, Editorial, Published on 14/08/2017

» Twice in the past two weeks, out-of-control military men in the deep South have attacked innocent civilians. Three people were wounded by gunfire by army rangers. In both cases, the rangers offered the most feeble and unacceptable excuses to try to mitigate their actions. More tellingly, just one local commander in the Pattani province outrages showed any responsibility. From the army headquarters and from the military regime in charge of the men responsible, there was no reaction at all.
