This is bad. I hope it isn’t a trend.

The old fallback, shouting ‘jaow’ and the crowd catching the thief and administering street justice, will no longer work. Crowds don’t catch thieves that are shooting at them. It’ll be like in the West. Crowds will either run away, or swear they didn’t see anything.

As a results more criminals will escape. And Cambodia will be more unsafe.
