Says something about the level of Security provided by the powers that be.

Persons with weapons, explosives, etc able to freely go near or around protest sites, but are not checked coming in or ot of those areas

And this is how a SOE is Enforced ?

In 2010 "Invisable third hands or MIB" were blamed for attacks on both sides.

Since both sides were attcked in 2010, maybe their were two differnet groups of "Invisable third Hand MIB".

Each with their own sponsors and agenda.

Shootings and attacks of both Police and Protesters alike in December. Then other attacks and bombings against Protesters, and today an attack on a Red Shirt Leader.

Maybe there are two groups of MIB this time as well.

What about the guy in a Police or Military Uniform seen on the video coming out of the back room moments before the suspect throws the Bomb, then runs in the same direction as the uniformed man.

The bomb thrower had to have run into or past the uniformed guy about the same time the bomb went off.

The uniform was dark brown or black long sleeves, and had Service bars on the left chest and insignia pins on epilets, collar, and chest.

Wondering if anyone (particularly invstigators) pays attention to everything in evidence videos ?

This Article's headline:

"Police Clueless"

"Welcome Tips"

Sounds lik a cross between

Hogan's Hero's Sergeant Schultz "I See Nothing....... Nothing".

and the Popeye Cartoon character Whimpy " I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Hamurger today"

Why a picture of Yingluck getting out of a van instead of a picture of the sign?

A Third Person "Selfie" foto taken for YL so she can Verify her Butt does not look too Big in that outfit.

Guy at back of th van was "Verifying" for himself

They're playing Chess ...........

Govt/Reds first Check

Now the PDRC Rainbows Check.......

"Run Forrest..... Run!"

A Typical 'war room" confersation probably consists of;

War Room members - You look Stunning and Beautiful Miss Lucky Lady

YL - OK ready for my next Monopoly Game lesson 101.

Phu Chai are you on the line?

OK OK what do I do or say now?

Errrr ..... Does these clothes make my Butt look Big?

OK OK OK... Got It.... you handsome mans handle the press statements.

Off now Shopping and hiding somewhere safe besides this dreadful place with those pesky Protesters.

Slow news day ???????????

None of this is news for anywhere in Thailand. Especially Pattaya.

ahhh hummmmm ZZZzzzzzzZZZZZ

Aliens from all neighboring Countries illegally enter Thailand all the time.

Maybe the Military has some intelligence about suspected activities, or feels the 10 vans of Cambodians are suspicious and need to be investigated further. Does not mean they are the MIB (Men In Black). Mearly suspects.

It is public knowldge that a certain figure has close ties with Cambodia. And also that this figure and the Military are not necessarily fond of each other.

For now, does not mean there currently is evidence linking any of this to any person or group, or the suspcted MIB.

Only speculation and Rumors for now.

Doubtful that the High ups in th Malitia would lie about the role of a few undercover Navy SEALS to protect them.

If they had acted "Alone" or were supported by the militia covertly, they would have been sacraficd and "thrown under the bus".

Serious announcment. In the Photo, one of the four looks to have a Smug Look on their Face

17:42 as reported on the Nation and posted on TV: A Government Deputy Spokesman said the Cabint did not consider a Emergency Decree bcause basically everything was going ok without the Decree.

Yet in less than an hour at about 18:24 the Emergency Decree was announced.

The Deputy Prime Minister made the announcement and not the Prime Minister .........

Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing?????????

Or another case of "Bait and Switch"

Can anyone answer the following, which nearby provinces are to be affected, and what exactly does the state of emergency consist off in terms of curfews, etc?

I have not seen which parts of nearby provinces that will be included other than Bangkok proper.

The last Emergency Decree in 2010 include limiting gaterings of groups more than 5 persons, A Curfew, and People can be detained for up to 30 days without charges being filed.

These are just a few of the things done in an Emergency Decree.

The Government and CAPO will announce what they will invoke soon.

Just a little "GunPlay three some" between the Lady, and the fat and slender guys.

They must have gotten excited when the Lady was helping them shoot the boyz guns and lost control..............

(typical alibi)

He He Ha Ha (my emotion avitars arnt working)

How to get the PDRC to come make my Pro Red Shirt wife get off her lazy bum and do some housework ?????? ha ha ha

(Home is in a Pro Red Shirt area tho)

TAT and PTP telling Porkies.

Farmers and Tourists are Stupid ?????????

Don't think anyone believes the Propaganda spewed by these two enteties

So how many would be willing to "Blindy" let the RTP search their person or property without a witness, or recording their search on video?

The percent would be relativly low in both th Thai and foreign communities.

The basic perception is that the RTP can not be trusted to not plant or maniplate evidence.

RTP rarely take any action unless it is in their own personal interst and for gain.

Obama and his Government could care less about dictatorial foreign governments.

He is like two peas in a pod to Mr T's style of doing things his way regardless of the people.

The US has a long history of preferring a friendly government over the rights of the people governed by that government and Obama has continued that unpleasant tradition, it's true. The US will do as the US thinks is best for the USA, as it did in Thailand in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s when it supported far worse regimes than anything the PT might represent, ahead of any democratic process. The United States failures to support the democratic processes in Thailand over those decades - preferring to support ruthless strongmen who were allies in the proxy cold wars - is a primary reason Thailand is in the mess it's in now. So, no Thaksin is not "the most tyrannical and dictatorial leader in history" even in Thai terms.

It's incredible how a person can be so educated (as implied by a law degree) and yet so oblivious to Thai history.

President Obama himself, personally and Politicaly could care less.

My point is/was that as Snig said "the US will do what is in the US's best interest".

President Obama will surely not make any comments about Thailand. He will leave that up to his State Dept. and those involved with US-Thai affairs and interests.

Currently on the World Stage, Thailand is only a small internal problem compared to many other Civil uprisings in many Countries around the World.

Bluntly said; The problems in Thailand are 'small potato's" compared to other world conflicts.

Obama and his Government could care less about dictatorial foreign governments.

He is like two peas in a pod to Mr T's style of doing things his way regardless of the people.

It isn't Rocket Science to know that the Protest areas need to have Checkpoints on all Roads into and out of the main protest areas.

The Police do that all the time to get Helmet and License Tea Money

2010 Riots were between the Red Shirts, the Military, and Assailants known only as Unknown Black Shirts or Third Hand peeople.

The Yellow Shirts did not confront the Red Shirts at all. The Yellow Shirts were no where to be seen and as a Public Group were not publicly involved in any of the Violene or Conflicts of 2010.

Guess the Police Ignored what they were told about taking action against Red Shirts and about Stepping up Security.

They sure seem to have taken some actions against Protest Guards and a few incidents of weapons carried by Protesters, but they have not yet taken any action against persons perpetrating the Violence against the Protesters. They all get away and the Police's response is " I see Nothing .....Nothing!"

IMO: As in the past, if the Police and Government continue to Ignore and Not try to suppress the Violence; It will force the Military's Hand

Thought Police were urged to step up Security around Protest Sites ?

What a bunch of Sergeant Schultz types (from the TV Show Hogan's Heros)they are.

"I See NOTHING....... NOTHING".

Think I saw the Protester that died on Live TV coverage on Blue Sky moments after after the Grenade Exploded.

At the time, I did not know there had been an explosion. Just people were seen running or walking quicly.

Then I did see someone in a white or light gray colord shirt with blood stains on his left upper chest walking away. The guy appeard confused not knowing what to do and looking for help.

It is too bad the Protest Guards and some Protesters went inside the shop house compound which was fenced instead of sealing off the entire area and wait for the Police and Military Search the area inside the fences. There would have been a better chance of catching the Culprit(s).

But we know hos it is here. Hot Headed instead of doing things correctly.

Condolences to the family of the Protester Killed

During the Marches I have heard the same Repetative 20 seconds of Awful Circus/Carnival Style of Calliope Music Non-Stop and Continuousis.

Irritating !

Some Foreign Press just try to "Sensationalize" this story and repete the same mistakes of trying to Portray the Conflict in a "Sensationalist Way" by continuousely saying it is a Cast or Class War between the Poor supported by Thaksin and the Elites, Royalists, and Middle Class of Bangkok.

In the OP Article it says Journalists are trying to explain a Complex situation in a "Timely Manner".

But the Foreign Press do know the real behind the scenes story and who is in this conflict and why. Agreed tat all the information can not be said due to some sensorship and touchy areas.

To make the "General Class War" Comments continuously is not reporting a true scenario of the Parites in this Conflict.

The Foreign Press have tried to Simplify the News too much and never get beyond thier Over Simplifications to give a True Picture.

The conflict is not a class war, but a conflict on ideals from all walks of life of all Thai People on both sides. Not just Rich or Poor. They are on both sides.
