Legal justice -- slow, frustrating, futile, executed by the sheriff or the hangman -- and frontier justice, which is as swift as the trigger and as thirst-quenching as a mug of moonshine. The justice system is creaking, the cogs rusty under the weight of the bureaucracy, and people wonder if they can still trust the swaggering sheriffs, all of them half-drunk. So, when legal justice is moot, give me frontier justice. From what happens, it's clear the majority prefers frontier justice. It looks like Mr Suthep was defending himself from a gang of angry youths who poured out from a van and attacked his car.
