These kids are a reflection of our society .Before we finger point which we love to do maybe think about why we let people in our society become like this .Our indifference knows no bounds .

What does an Art college have to fight over with a Technical college ??...
Someone commented yesterday that it's nothing to do with the colleges and simply all about gangs. I didn't believe it then but with my question above it kind of makes sense...

Each of the students confirmed to have carried weapons and subsequently fined the ludicrous sum of Baht 100 should be publicly named and shamed. No photographs with their faces covered. Ensure the public know who they are by wide distribution of their photographs. If weapons are getting into schools then schools are seriously deficient in security measures and police should take action against such schools. Nothing but talk over and over about these incidents. Perhaps closure of the schools involved for a year may get their attention.

Everyone keeps criticising the Thai schools. How about putting some pf the blame on parents who "raise" children to act like this?

100 Baht! The minimum fine for speeding is 200Baht. I guess in Thai society traffic infractions are more serious than carrying weapons.

They were fined 100 baht. If these are students why weren't they turned over to the parents. Same with the other found with the swords and knifes why turn over to the school and not parents. 100 baht fine is nothing, they must have laugh when they left the police station at how foolish the laws are in Thailand.

What a joke...a 100 baht fine for carrying a concealed weapon...that's good old archaic Thai law.

Somebody needs to show this story to the people down at the culture ministry. Maybe it would take their mind off Lady Gaga.
