    Are the CCTV's still only manned from 9 to 5 on weekdays. Chalerm said there were burned last time because of a business conflict -and now ?

    .

    I support Chalerm's idea of curfew.

    Would curfew prevent arson ? NO. But you can separate the good from the bad during curfew hour, at least.

    Loss of freedom, YES. Freedom is NOT free.

    but better that losing life.


    Think !

    where have all those defence team go when the attack occured? Why was that set up if no one stay on guard.?

    Is it better to just receive the militants attack and reports how much damaged did it bring? why not the army initiate moves to find those criminals.?
