Thai media is reporting that the five people from Kazakhstan and Belarus may face the death penalty for their illegal arms shipment that was confiscated in Bangkok.
Up until now, the bemused and confused look on these out-of-shape soldiers of misfortune seemed almost comical, but now, not so much.
I'm not a big fan of the death penalty, especially in cases where someone hasn't directly killed someone themselves.
Let's hope the Thai gov't is just throwing that out there as some sort of political gambit, purposes unknown. Obviously, the munitions weren't intended for use against the Thai government. Well, maybe not "obviously", but I don't think so.
