MJ. Mark from China :

Base on Karl statement, and in addition to the killings to finish ethnic Muslim Rohingya, the military and RNDP are trying all options in this regard, and in fact it was Burmese helicoter that attacked and killed people, becoz the burmese use this kind of helicopters to kill Christan in Kayin State and in Kachan State, which is why many ethnic christians and muslims are dying without any basic freedom and human rights in Burma. UN, the U.S and EU must make urgent efforts to put a stop the killings in Arakan State.

Sanda from Myitkyina Kachin :

I have no idea why you are comparing Kachin with Rohingya. There are a few facts to clarify with this issue. First, Rohingya is not ethnic group. Second, we have to discrimination against Christian, Hindu or Muslim. Bengali immigrants are calling themselves as Rohingya and creating conflicts. Three, They have been attacking Rakhines and we have a proven history record of their violence. Four, we have no history of such ethnicity in our country. Kachin did not kill other citizens like Bengalis. If you have no idea of right facts, don't bother to comment. We, other ethnic groups, will stand with our Rakhine brothers and sisters, regardless of their religion. We won't let them abused by anyone. Thank you.

Daewer from Yangon :

1) if the surviving ppl saw the chopper from their boats, the chopper surely could spot them. Why didn't the chopper in question peruse them?

2) Why would Burmese army want them dead if they are already fleeing from country for everyone's good?

3) Burmese military don't use air power even in critical missions. Like Karl mentioned above, it cost great deal of money and I know my cheap Gov. They'd rather send a P.T Boat or just wait them on the shore in case they change their mind and return, which is most unlikely.

4) it is the other country which would afraid more refugees would come and act rashly....

John from Rangoon :

Why to kill dying and fleeing Rohingya people and where are the international communities, the UN and powerful governments of the world that fight to save human beings for justices and basic freedoms, and why they are working or making humane efforts like they do in Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan, elsewhere in our world to bring the killers to face justice?

Karl from US Navy :

real life is nothing like a Hollywood movie. Operating a military helicopter costs $8000/hour AT A MINIMUM. It is not believable that such an attack occurred.
