...mailed the letter but didn't hold out much hope. After all, Mati Sae-Ang was just a noodle-soup vendor, with a heroin addict for a son. Still, after watching her boy stick needles in his arms for a decade, what harm could there be in sending then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra a note identifying her son's dealer in the northern Thai town of Chiang Rai? A billionaire tycoon turned politician, Thaksin had just launched a war on drugs. The campaign would be assailed by human-rights activists for claiming more than 2,000 lives in just three...

Simply put, 14-year-olds do not take it upon themselves to kill homosexuals without a considerable amount of ideological influence, be it from family, friends, or the media. A boy of 14 years is not known for making the most rational decisions. Nor are 14-year-olds notoriously free from outside influence. The media culture of violence coupled with the accessibility of guns in this country never ceases to spell disaster for frustrated teens who can think of no peaceful...
