Thai PM Revives Anti Drug Campaign.

[DJ_Asia]

The new PM of Thailand today announced a 90 day war on drugs campaign here in Thailand.the last time this was done a few years back the Thai police had 00 clearance...more than 2500 people were shot dead in the streets...no arrests,no trial...just a bullet to the dome....guilty or not.

While this doesnt directly affect me as my drug days are long over,but with an estimated 90% of all ladyboys addicted to methamphetamine,I will be suprised if a few of the girls I know here dont get blown away in the streets of Bangkok.

Not coincedentally this war on drugs happens to begin 29 days prior to the King of Thailands birthday.Every year at this time the Thai police make a grand show for the king by enforcing laws that go ignored the other 11 months of the year.

I live in a very silly country.

Yes...sad but true.

Ahhhh shit, the Mans B-Day is coming up, time to curb production for a little but.

And yes, they DO shoot drug dealers like that. They are not supposed to but they did a LOT of it before as I'm sure they will again.

Aren't the people there addicted to prescription speed, rather than the home cooked stuff like in the states.

Sounds like part of the global population reduction plan. A government at war with its people. (low grade civil war)

No.The drug of choice here is 'ya-ba' and also Ice.Its made in the jungles of Myanmar...one of the highest sources of income for the brutal military junta in the former Burma

That's seriously fucked up. I'm a regular visitor and remember that last 'War on Drugs' purge only too well. On a brighter note, I see Frank and Mrs Shinawatra had their UK visa's cancelled today. I imagine they will after buying a football in club in Hong Kong just now.
