5 college students were detained after doing the hunger games salute in front of Thailand's Prime Minister.They're being charged with breaking martial law. The students were taken to a Thai Army facility where they refused to sign papers. They were released a few hours later. They got the gesture from Katniss on the hunger games and used it as a revolution against the government.A cinema in Bangkok banned the movie because of the incident.
I believe that they should protest against a tyrannical government depending on the problems that are going on. If the people are not getting what they want they should try to change it in a nice, sensible way. If they cant handle it with the tyrant in that way then they might have to protest in order to get right's for the people.

Ok ... this stroy really shows how movies influence kids to do dumb things. I'm trying to figure out what motivated them to do this and I understand why they were arrested but at the same time I do believe it should have been handled differently
ReplyDeleteEither they're not happy with the government or someone did it and everyone else joined in. Seriously though, banning a movie??? Leave people alone; it's not like anyone tried an attack.
