Weekend Violence in Thailand

.

There has been a lot of killing in Bangkok and upcountry this last weekend, and the killers are of somewhat uncertain connections.  The firearm and grenade attacks have targeted anti-government protest sites, but in both Trat and in Bangkok nearby children have been killed while either eating noodles or shopping with parents, and this has added a new sickening dimension.

“Collateral damage” is the euphemism that the government of the United States of Dubya/Obama uses when American bombs kill innocent non-American bystanders in its never ending imperial wars, but it is evil recklessness on the part of the actor no matter who that is, governments or independent actors.  It is an evil disregard for life.

Here is an earlier photo of a young brother and sister killed right in the heart of Bangkok’s shopping district when they were with their father. (Please let me know if this link doesn’t work.)
