I am not a Christian for the record,but this is funny Hun Sen police force are afraid of sling shot

Oh dear David and Goliath legend resurrected on May Day in Nam Vang...Sling shot can blind eye that was a flash back for Hun Sen memory especially on Socialist May Day Riot then.
Let's import a better made sling shot from Taiwan

How about that!

As usual Raingsy with a new Charlie Brown nose won't miss the world to be there.

This is how stock broker makes a living buy in while it's hot and bulk rate. Then sell it when he 's stuck like early this year"new deal/attitude politic" other word cowardness.

Charlie Brown is coming and going when the tough is getting him.

ឺWay to go, Everyone!!! Bravo for the jog well done. Bravo Chea Mony, Rong Chun, Sam Rangsy, ET AL. Freedom of expression (peaceful demonstration) must be encouraged. If the government truly supports human rights, this time is the best time to show its support.

I am glad to see the Labor day march went on with no big complications. Khmer people are up to something and it is a good thing. They are slowly but steadity walking on a path. A path that one day will bring bright future to all Khmer. Keep on with your non-violent principles and your courageous march.Soon Khmers will be free and Khmers will be proud.

More power to you Mr. Sam Rainsy, Mr. Kem Sokha and to all khmers who support this non-violent protest.. It was wonderful!!!!

Congratulation Mr. Chea Mony and Mr. Sam Rainsy! For sure we Khmer people have not lost the Sam Rainsy's freedom fighting abilities at all, since the day he gave in to the Hun Sen's gangsters a bit when first returned from France.

This is old Sam Rainsy we used to know and still fighting for poor Khmer...all Khmer hopes are still with Mr. Sam Rainsy.

Per HUN SEN, he represents the small number of the rich and the powerful. This socalled elite which accounts for only 2%-5% of Khmer total population but they still manage to control the 98%-95% of Khmer. The Khmer majority must prevail over this few elite!!!

GO PEOPLE POWER GO!
GO CHEAT KHMER GO!
