First off, Muslims had nothing to do with this. For those who don't know, the shrine is in the center of Bangkok's financial area. The condos around that area are some of the most expensive in Thailand. Sounds like a spoiled rich kid who finally found a way to end his depression.

The father said he had not heard from his son after learning that he was killed.

I had to read that twice.

You've gotta see this. There's just too many angles to work on this story...

1: "The man fled but was later caught up by some taxi drivers and people started to beat him up"

Guess he didn't pay his toll...

2: "Pol Maj Gen Krissasda Phankhongchuen, deputy metropolitan police commissioner, said the man, who suffered severe injuries on his head..."

There is absolutely no proof that the man was stoned to death with the ridiculously excessive number of syllables in the police major's name.

3: "The father said he had not heard from his son after learning that he was killed."

Really.

I lived in Thailand for a while in the 70's. This is an old civilization and their traditions demand they deal with violent protesters harshly. The loss of the shrine is a tragedy.

Oh No! Not The Four Faced Buddha of Good Fortune, who am I going to pray for money the next time I'm in BKK? ... Seriously, this is terrible new, I'm bummed. I know people who'd go visit this shrine as their first order of business whenever in town.

Tragic situation all around.

The BBC said that the perp is a Muslim. Is that correct? I don't trust the Communist media of the world to report a straight story. Esp, in light of their Janus deception, pretending to care about Muslims and Religion of Peasce, etc yet never talking about Republican Muslims, the democratic movement in Iran, support in Iraq and Afghanistan, and those that condemn terrorists, etc.

The same people who want Americans to believe that Billy XXX is the best President ever is telling us that we must understand and appease the oily dark skinned A-RABS and that every single Muslime is evil and hates America and pro-Bin Laden.

Color me skeptical. Unfortunately, many here who would not trust these b@stards to report the rising of the sun or the correct time fell hook, line, and sinker for the hate-mogngering of the racist Demons, Communists, and their fellow travelers.

And last time I check, "nuking 'em all" is still genocide.

Apologies for the rant.

Garland must be pretty big in Thailand to need a garland vendor. I think I'll give that a try at Christmas time.
