Seriously, those slingshots made out of branches with elastic bands are illegal? They sell those things to tourists all over the region. They aren't harmless but how can they ban such rudimentary stuff?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Think it was more the meth than the slingshots that earned them the photos.
Re: Teen Slingshot Gang Arrested in Banlung
I recall 7 or 8 years ago, there was a spate of sling-shot attacks on tourists around riverside.
Iirc, one lady got nailed in the face whilst she sat inside a restaurant. The theory was that they were done through the window of a moving car by some rich punk kids.
Mysteriously stopped after about a month or so.
I hope those events don't resurrect themselves with those nasty looking air-soft pistols.

It must be a Ratanakiri thing: two other groups of teenagers, aged between 14 and 20, have been arrested by police in Banlung and in Yak Loem , on 26 September 2018, for detention of weapons.
