Joe Biden says “things like this rarely happen anywhere except in America…” Ditto for his sidekick Kamala Harris. Yet on Thursday, a corrupt former cop facing charges used a knife and a gun to kill 38 people in a daycare in rural Thailand. Twenty-two of the dead were small children, mostly slashed to death after the killer stormed a room where the toddlers were napping.
Actually it’s the second major mass murder spree in a school in as many weeks outside of the USA.
In this latest case in northeast Thailand, a corrupt cop lost his police job and faced drug charges. He and his wife had a child in the daycare. He killed both of them as well before he killed himself.
Joe’s political make-believe that things like this only happen in America is just wishful thinking. Evil transcends national borders. Once again, the only thing that stops a bad person with evil in their hearts is a good guy with a gun. Unfortunately, there were no good guys with a gun nearby. While gun ownership in Thailand is allowed, it remains strictly regulated and is expensive, meaning it’s outside the financial means of the poor to possess firearms legally.
From Reuters:
BANGKOK, Oct 6 (Reuters) – A former policeman killed 38 people, including 22 children, in a knife and gun rampage at a daycare centre in Thailand on Thursday, later shooting dead his wife and child at their home before turning his weapon on himself, police said.
The children at the daycare centre in Uthai Sawan, a town 500 km (310 miles) northeast of Bangkok, were mostly stabbed to death, they said.
Police identified the attacker as a former member of the force who was dismissed from his post last year over drug allegations and he was facing trial on a drugs charge
Col. Jackrapat Wijitwaitaya, police superintendent at Naklang Police, told NBC News 19 boys and three girls were among the 22 children killed in the attack in Uthai Sawan, which is about 300 miles northeast of the capital city of Bangkok. https://t.co/KWGhmwJEbk

…And leave it to our American media to report the tragedy as a “mass shooting,” repeatedly, when the killer used a knife to kill most of the victims, including the 22 children sleeping while the attack began. The legacy media just can’t give up that precious narrative.
We recently detailed how parents should hold school officials responsible for the security in their facilities. That obviously applies for daycares for our littlest kids.
This latest incident shows once again why safety and security are so important.
