I am against punishment by death.
An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, is against my believes.
I condemn the killings of the soldiers as I would condemn any killings of other human beings.
But by killing the perpetrators we come down to the same level as them.
We are not Gods to take lives.
Prison for life, and I mean life, will be an appropriate punishment for them.
I agree with you Costas. Did a paper quite a few years ago on capital punishment. The outcome was that, not a lot was achieved. The death sentence is used as a deterrent. The US had an embargo on capital punishment for about 10 years. In that time murder rates did not vary on a per capita basis. The cost of putting someone to death can far outweigh the cost of a lifetime sentence. Sometimes Capital Punishment is political; a good hanging is good for the polls. People are also found not guilty or have been stitched up; once someone is dead, they can't be brought back. Agree we are not gods.
Costas, don't agree with all you say, but you make some good statements.
Not sure if the Thais have it right down south. Everything appears a bit hush, hush. Not much getting in the press. The Thais might end up with more holes in their feet over this one?
If someone deliberately denies another human the right to live in order to profit, or for sport, or self-gratification, or to promote a political/religious ideology, then that someone has given up voluntarily their own humanity and does not rank any higher than a virus or parasite.
I do not lose sleep over the extermination of a virus or parasite.

Thai Military units to be opened for sale of cheap goods and 'freebies'
a military unit is for example: platoon, company. battalion, brigade, regiment
Now, the PM is 'opening' all these units in Bkk to sell what? Their 'stuff'? Somebody else's stuff? Does 'opening' refer to a place to sell stuff? Then he should have said 'barracks' or 'compounds' and not 'military units'..., but he should know that as a former CiC.

Immediately after leaping the Phuket mayor fell unconscious from sudden blood loss to the brain. It is important to leap gradually after long periods of inactivity.

"Who pointed the gun at her?"
a gaggle of geese (her own cabinet), Shinawatra ueber alles (her own sense of entitlement), a liberal dose of bimboism, crocodile tears dressed in Louis Vuitton, incompetence, stupidity, ignorance, greed, ...that's who pointed the gun at her.
