'Ja New' attack signals return of political violenceIn Avengers: Endgame, Tilda Swinton's character, the Ancient One, warned the heroes not to mess with time. It isn't just because the bashing was a repeat act -- occurring only a week or so after Mr Sirawith had been attacked by five men, who remain unidentified. What's worrying about the brutal attack on Mr Sirawith is that it signals a return to the culture of political violence and impunity. Political violence, including the repeated crimes against Mr Sirawith and other political activists, can occur because this kind of hatred and extremist attitudes are allowed to proliferate. The attack on Mr Sirawith is an evidence that the rule of law has been messed up with.
