>Legend has it, some were executed for merely appearing to be intellectuals, by wearing glasses or being able to speak a foreign language I know a woman who actually witnessed this. And escaped with her baby while a group ran off, being shot at. She made it to refugee camps, then to America. I worked with that baby, as an adult. His father didn't survive the escape. But the Khmer Rouge would shout shings in English, and kill whoever seemed to respond. Since they assumed they were intellectuals for knowing English. Commies are the worst people to ever exist. Edit: they killed hundreds of thousands, by the way.
