Accidents and killings have increased as no punishments for their crimes what a shame the Culprits regime of Rajapakses are robbing the country and they are into all sorts of crimes the criminals are having a upper hand - no court - judges are regime puppets police and other forces works for the Culprits - the innocents are suffering - time the public should stand together like past in Thailand to get rid of the wanted killers
God help the innocents
