If Thai newspapers kept a running total of the dead and injured on their front pages I think within 30 day some heads in Bangkok would have rolled and perhaps the defense personnel in the South would have new proactive leadership.

It is depressing to read in every report " the police are investigating". On the rare occasions when they identify murderers they usually surround them at dawn and always the majority escape almost as if a back channel is left open.

If there is a comment about red shirts there will be 50 instant posts. People are slaughtered down South daily yet rarely are there any comments from farang or Thais.
