The utter injustice of Cambodia exposed? Poipet 2.0 VV
It appears that if you fall in front of a car that wasn't moving, the driver will be locked up and socially disgraced. If they're CNRP.
But, if you intentionally drive your car into people at speed, no problem. If you're CPP, or connected to a foreign investor.
Not news for most boratey, but lets hope the mass population make the connection.

Police Back Factory Manager Who Ran Over Protesting Workers

The manager of a garment factory in Phnom Penh drove his car into a crowd of protesting workers on Saturday afternoon, according to a union official, though a police official said the manager had been surrounded and was only trying to turn away.
Yem Sochet, the administration manager of International Fashion Royal garment factory in Pur Senchey district’s Choam Chao commune, was accused of driving his car straight into a crowd of protesters standing in front of the factory, Worker Friendship Union Federation president Sieng Sambath said.
“He already drove his car from the parking lot but headed back very fast after hearing insults thrown by the protesters,” Mr. Sambath said. “His intention was to run over the union officials, but the workers gathered around. There were about 30 to 40 people standing there, but he just drove directly into the crowd.”
Mr. Sambath added that the garment workers had gathered on Saturday to protest for the third consecutive day. The workers are seeking 1,000 riel for lunch, higher pay and the reinstatement of two staff members who had been fired.
According to Mr. Sambath and police officials, multiple people were in the car with Mr. Sochet.
Most protesters were able to escape the crash, but three people were injured, including one woman who sustained serious injuries to her arm, Mr. Sambath said, adding that only one of the three had been allowed to file a police complaint.
Mr. Sochet attempted to flee the scene after hitting the workers, he added.

It's possible that there are two sides to the story, though.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right?

I can assure you the mass population has been
aware for a long time. The question to be answered is, "What is their most efficacious means of redress?"
And as for "It's possible that there are two sides to the story, though."
Yes that is entirely possible, but only the "official" one will prevail.

A right-wing nutter intentionally drives into a crowd of left-wingers in the USA, kills one and wounds others, and it makes global news.
A nutter workng for an American company intentionally drives into a group of poor left-wing workers (unionists) in Cambodia seriously injuring one and wounding others, and nobody much is interested, yet both are huge contemporary global issues.
C'est la vie.
Btw, the VV in the title stands for Poipet vice- versa.

No, I meant it's possible some of the manager's story is true.
The idea that all the guys on one side of the line are bad, and all they guys on the other side is virtuous...seriously?
You find xenophobia and racism virtuous?

It's a bit different from the Charlottesville incident in that the factory manager was just driving into work. If it was intentional he should be prosecuted, but we know that is highly unlikely to happen. This is not a time when you'll see the rights of protestors championed.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
