Horrific Bus Fire in Thailand Sparks National Debate on Safety
While an absolute tragedy bought about by a complete lack of care, neglect and a mai bpen rai attitude, give it a month or 2 and it will all be forgotten and all back to normal, until such times as all involved in events of this nature and severely punished - nothing will change. -

Sydney Protest Sparks Arrest Over Alleged Display of Hezbollah Flag
There is always a way. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw/hezbollah-themed-flag-not-an-offence-police-arrest-man-for-displaying-swastika-20241006-p5kg7o.html Dozens of protesters held green and gold flags, the colours associated with Hezbollah. One person was seen holding a yellow and green flag showing Ned Kelly clutching a rifle. It read “our boys in green and gold will win”. “The legal advice we’ve received at the moment is that that would not fulfil an offence,” said McKenna. -

Documentary explores war crimes being posted on social media.
For anyone who thinks Hamas and its Palestinian supporters are a bunch of nice guys, check out the videos on this Web site: https://www.hamas-massacre.net/ Most of the videos were taken by Palestinian terrorists and then posted to social media. In contrast, take a look at this video from 2012, in which the famous Ahed Tamimi. then age 11, confronts and hits Israeli soldiers. The IDF guys don't seem bothered too much, they are even smiling at her antics. She became famous in 2017 when at age 16 she was arrested and jailed for eight months for assaulting an IDF soldier. She was arrested again on Nov 6, 2023 , after a post on X: She was released a few weeks later as part of a Israel-Hamas prisoner and hostage exchange. She comes from a family of terrorists. Her parents and brothers have been jailed on terrorism charges and one of her cousins helped plan a suicide bombing that killed 16 and wounded 130. What is interesting is she doesn't look Palestinian. I'm guessing her family is from Lebanon, perhaps collaborators who followed the PLO back to Palestine when they were kicked out of Lebanon. She has made numerous videos provoking IDF at various ages. -

Aftermath of Hurricane Helene: Power Outages, Rescue Efforts, and Rising Death Toll
The stupidity of over reliance on modern technology, which can fail for a great many reasons, just one of which is the example here. How difficult was it to envisage such a situation and keep technology that works available in sufficient amounts? Too difficult, apparently. The military have radio technology that doesn't depend on cell towers, so why are they not being used to counter the communication problem? Too difficult? -

Florida is nearing toss-up status as top Republican poll shows Trump’s lead nearly vanished
I think all the Ron DS stuff when he was trying to sell censorship and restriction as freedom may have opened a lot of eyes in Florida as to what the MAGA GOP is really about. Here's hoping that will reflect at the polls. Maybe they will even remove Rick Scott! -

The Acquittal of Three Former Officers in Tyre Nichols Case Sparks Accountability Debate
I have to assume you would prefer no cops, or those of the hand holding Kumbaya singing variety. When dealing with vicious criminal scum one needs more than the laughing policeman to deal with them. I live in a country where the previous government had a policy of "going easy" on criminal thugs and gangs, and it's not looking good now for the law abiding. -

The superior German products were the real reason for the WWI, Germany had to be "contained". That also led us to the WWII. Now another country needs to be contained, prepare for WW3. -

Parents Demand 1.21M Baht Compensation for Children They Didn’t Raise
Relatives of school bus fire victims walks beside the coffins at Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam School, Lan Sak, Uthai Thani province, Thailand, Thursday, Oct. 3, 2024. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) Parents are controversially attempting to claim 1.21 million baht each in compensation after the tragic Pathum Thani bus fire, despite some not having raised the children. This devastating incident on 1st October led to the deaths of 20 students and three teachers from Wat Khao Praya Sangkharam School when their bus caught fire on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. In the wake of this harrowing incident, the Office of Attorney-General (OAG) reports challenges in compensating families, unveiling a complex web of familial claims. Some claiming compensation reportedly hadn’t been actively involved in raising the children, who were instead nurtured by grandparents or other relatives. This raises an ethical and legal dilemma about rightful claims to such tragic compensations. Kosolwat Inthuchanyong, a lead figure at OAG's office for rights protection, emphasises that established processes aim to ensure justified distribution of funds to legitimate claimants. While the intention is to aid bereaved families and those injured, the complication of absent parents suddenly appearing to claim funds complicates matters. Concurrently, the National Anti-Corruption Commission is probing potential negligence, scrutinising whether state officials erred in allowing hazardous alterations to the bus, citing illegal gas tank installation as a possible factor in the tragedy. Amid the investigation, the Thailand Consumer Council advocates stricter safety protocols, proposing that buses accommodating 40 or more passengers should have insurance covering at least 30 million baht in potential compensation. This suggestion comes as part of broader efforts to enhance safety for school excursions and bolster public transport standards. Additionally, to prevent scams, the Deputy Education Minister announced that the ministry will centrally manage all donations and aid distribution, offering a safer avenue for compassionate support. As families grieve, these claims and investigations highlight wider social and regulatory issues, pressing a community already in mourning to seek resolutions and justice. -- 2024-10-07 -

That's rubbish...by this logic the Chukchas in Siberia would be the most innovative people on earth. Singapore on the equator is far more innovative and developed than many countries in Europe, they have two universities in the top 20 in the world, outstanding achievement for a country of 5 million people. And in the world IQ ranking most of the countries are Asian, none of them near the North Pole. -

The Republican Freak Show
No problem, he'll have doctors who will declare he is as healthy as a 22 year old. If Harris wins this year she just might be up against Liz Cheney in 2028. Might be interesting to save the vids of their joint appearances this year and watch them as they tear at each other's throats when that time arrives.
