No Justice

Two years ago in Thailand, protesters were attacked by the police and soldiers with lethal weapons. By the end, 90 people were killed and 2,000 people injured. The families of the victims are still waiting for justice and recently, the new government has decided to give a bill for reconciliation that will allow powerful people to get away with grievous crimes with no punishment. Also, many protestors have been punished, yet no one with a government job has been investigated or punished. The government claims no lethal weapons had been used despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. This situation needs to change. The criminals need to own up to their crimes, and there needs to be justice in the system. If people can get away with their crimes, it will destabilize the entire country and make way for tons of crimes and unsafe conditions for its citizens. The families of victims also want to see the people who hurt their family pay for their crimes. While government may not work for the people, it works for the sake of the people. There needs to be some justice.
