No Ducking The Issue Of Rising Gun Crime: Thai Editorial

[crazydrummerpauly]

Anyone have an idea about something baffling me...back in June, there was a related topic, and i posted a link to Wikipedia showing Thailand high in a list of Firearm-Related deaths...the rate was 33 per 100,000 population, which put it around 7th, below six notoriously dangerous places. (Largely Central and South American.) I've just checked the post back then and see this figure quoted in my post...but what's weird, is that if i click on the same link NOW - - -

Thailand has (apparently) been removed from the list entirely ! I wonder how that happened ? ..... (conspiracy-theory time) ;-)

If my eyes have failed me, and Thailand is still there - slag me off.

OK - further research has made me an idiot, sort of : I didn't even know this kind of HISTORY of previous pages on a Wiki topic existed -

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate&action=history

On that page, you can see a nice little conflict about Thailand's stats, which has resulted in NO listing for Thailand at all on that list at the present time. All very confusing...

Well, there doesnt seem to be any statistics that are reliable in Thiland, especially anything that puts the country in a bad light. The most important things here are being a "hub" for everything.
