| Ice cream vendor beheaded in Thai Muslim south |
| 2007-02-01 |
| An ice cream vendor was killed and his headless body left sitting on the bicycle seat of his cart in Thailand's rebellious Muslim south on Thursday, police said. The vendor, a 45-year-old Buddhist originally from the country's north east, was shot three times in the back of his head while riding his cart into a Muslim village in Pattani, one of the three provinces hit by the violence, police said. "They chopped his head off and walked away with it, leaving his body sitting on the ice cream bike's seat," a Pattani policeman told Reuters by telephone. "Under current circumstances, he shouldn't have ventured into such a village," the policeman said. The man was killed just hours before Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont flew to the region where 2,000 people have been killed in a three-year insurgency. A police colonel was also shot in the head by a sniper while a security team was visiting a village Surayud and Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn were to visit, police said. He was seriously wounded and rushed to hospital. |

| #12 What kind of pussies attack an ice cream man? Oh wait, Mooslems. Frank has the best idea. Taking is one step further. They kill one of us, we close-destroy 100 mosques and outlaw ownership of qurans for a year. Let the meteor worshippers chew on that. |

| #11 Well, sometimes in the summer when our Ice Cream truck comes around with its bells tinkling and some non stop "pavlovian dog" tune playing again and again at gangsta rap level, as it circles around and around the block... I am tempted to look for that heat seeking missle I have stashed around here somewhere. I'm just sayin' HEY, YOU KIDS GET OFF THAT LAWN! |

| #7 The man was killed just hours before Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont flew to the region where 2,000 people have been killed in a three-year insurgency. Insurgency ? T E R R O R I S M ! Insurgent....a person who rises in forcible opposition to lawful authority. Terrorist....a person who terrorizes others. |

| #6 More proof that "Insurgents" are nothing more than bullies an cowards. Level the place with Napalm. Then bomb the ashes, just in case. |

| #5 The Mullah bad boys are soooo brave when it comes to shooting ice cream vendors. Is that the meaning of their religion, killing a working man trying to feed his family by selling ice cream cones? |

| #4 Ice Cream = pleasure. Allan hates pleasure. Allan hates everybody. Oh, wait! I forgot. "Allan the compassionate". |

| #2 When civil policing is ineffective, military suppression is legitimate. |

| #1 "Under current circumstances, he shouldn't have ventured into such a village," the policeman said. Al least we have established who is to blame. Notice how little the insurgency in south Thailand is reported by the American press. Isn't there anyway to blame Bush and/or western civilization? |
