This is a new violent act as of today Sunday Oct. 30; not the two that occurred yesterday within 24 hours of each other. Since the Thai government does not care about the Thai citizens in the south (as displayed by years of mistakes and inaction) and the military’s incompetent response of sending poorly equipped and trained soldiers who have shown no successes, or captures, then there is no deterrent to cease the violence. In fact the government’s non-response and ignoring of each new killing and bombings will most certainly embolden the perpetrators to soon shift to targets that will get the governments attention e.g. Phuket and Bangkok. Not the least bit far-fetched and a government office or heavily populated tourist area ala Kuta Beach, Bali seems like a no-brainer. Here’s a serious tip to the Thai government; it’s time to get serious!
