Don't normally comment about the troubles in the South, but after a big complaint about Rangers shooting a few innocent locals (mistake or not?), this is more of the norm (every day). Cold blooded assination of someone, & the Thai public hardly notice. Bit like in the West when a train crashes in India with 200 dead, they don't take much notice. Both not big news in the newspapers.
