In the popular Hunger Games series, the oppressed residents of District 12, often raised their hand in a three-finger salute - a gesture that began as a sign of gratitude and farewell, but soon evolved into a symbol of defiance. Now, the salute is being used by some Thai youngsters to show their displeasure with the military officials that have been ruling the country under martial law since they ousted the civilian government in May 2014. And just like the leaders of the dystopian society, Thailand's rulers are not too thrilled.

    These people are looking forward to something. These people are to do this to take control over a civilian government and use the military for force to have people get in line and blindly follow them. They DO have a right to do that. Defiance.... no one has seen defiance in The United States before the 1840's. But on the outside the world is full of it. Potential is what it is filled with, just waiting for someone to grab it. But who?
