Maybe the currently best solution for the country.
Any bets?

"Peace for Bangkok" was R.I.P in Bangkok.
A tragic day for peace and unit.

Gemini81 , Just curious, do you have a link to what you are referring to, I am not aware of it & would watch what ever you are referring to.

(Or is anyone else has the link, post away)

The world LAUGHS at what a FOOL she is! (see cnn interview...a disaster no retard could manage!!!!) have a look

won't happen again.

Suthep's protesters came in peace and with no weapons.

Of curse since the whole stop movement is faltering and about to disentagrate, violent clashes are the only last desperate option left to try and provoke some response - as in army C

Chalerm is doing the right thing now. He should be focused on daily raids of protest sites and then retreat to avoid violence.

It will upset the protestors daily schedule, they will become scared and tired having to rebuild their sites everyday after raids.

Snatch and grab a few hundred protestors every day, arrested and off to prison.

It will cost the protest funders more money, as they have to keep replacing equipment, paying legal fees of the arrested etc..

It will set precedent that the police have tried numerous times to clear the protestors but been met with deadly force by armed PDRC thugs. Ultimately later then much greater levels of force can be used with clear evidence that attempts to use non-violent means has been tried many many times prior.

Keep on attempting to clear every day, make them tired, make them weary, make they spend money, observe their tactics, put snipers into place in future to take out anyone with guns or grenades....... just keep on hitting them with clearing attempts every day - its the only less violent way to clear them out.

That is your opinion.

I like more to side with Albert Einstein

"Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding."

And these are a small minority.

I think the majority has no interest to shoot on their own countrymen,

be it a police officer doing his duty, nor a peacefull protester.

So I must speak agains your opinion, that Charlem does the right thing.

And if the scheme is not corrupt then she has nothing to worry about. Though I don't hold much faith in that going by the body language below

Or this

1. Nattawut on Protests

2. Nattawut on Democracy

3. Nattawut on Rice Policy

And Nuttawat also carried out the "big" inspections of some 2500 rice storage facilities...(in 3 days or something stupid) and discovered that everything was in order .....no irregularities except for some very minor issues.....

Another useless piece of garbage!

He is also active in the transport sector.

Nattawut Transport company carrys rice bags across the country back and forth.

And before Tharit, Chalerm and their supporters here say that the police wasn't armed.

I would expect Tharit and Chalerm to lie, so that is no surprise. I'm wondering though, why try and hide the fact they are armed?

Tragic as this day went. RIP

Who is responsible and ordered this policemen with assault rifles into the rows of riot police?

For what purpose?

To shoot at people?

Otherwise there is no other function for that type of armament

What ridiculous questions. Thailand has an armed police force so of course the police were armed. They have every right to be armed when confronting murderous thugs shooting at them and throwing grenades.

You are sure, today it was not the other way around?

Police opened fire first?

Tomorrow the court will decide about the state of emergency.

Why today this violent hurry?

If the government had waited another day, perhaps the live of people on both sides could have been saved.

"As part of its reform proposal for the next government, the TDRI suggested establishment of an independent committee to oversee spending policy to increase transparency and make sure tax money is actually being used for the benefit of society, and especially for the people who truly need it."

Agree!

How about less talk and more action. Every time you open your mouth you making a fool of yourself. Just do it.

Is there dissent in the red corner? are we losing patience with our party leaders. Careful Tarrit will freeze your bank account!

Maybe not a dissent.

The police and especially the Metropolitan Police is not particularly popular in Bangkok.

You can ask for example every food cart vendor how much bribes they must pay to sell there stuff.

It is hard for them. To scroll through the Khao San Road, there are 300-400baht due.

Also ask the taxi divers, motorcycle taxi drivers and the motorcycle transport drivers, what the think about the police.

And this people are mostly from isaan.

Can I suggest you re read my comment in relation to that of red snake, and maybe you might get it! A hint; maybe considered humour, if you knew the stance the snake takes in red v yellow!

Just give the farmers back their rice.

Problem solved.

No, that's the problem. The rice has either gone missing or has now rotted. And, even if the rice could be returned, the farmers would be entitled to "cover" damages from the government under the Thai Civil Code. That's the difference between the government's promised price on the vouchers and the actual price the farmers are now able to sell the rice on the market, plus the additional expense of sale (eg, transport).

Yes right, maybe Nattawut transport company can dish out some free transports.

This rice scheme is so rotten with all the corruption to the core.

If they confiscate the assets of all those who have enriched themselves illegally, they would have enough to pay the farmers.

A party which welcomes 200 electoral fraudsters in their party, has lost all credibility with regards to decency, morality and ethics.

Another scam.
The fake farmer scam.
Hopefully he looks sometimes also after the criminals records of members within his own party.

The farmers are now begging at the airport are also fake?

So 1 million farmers are then run today to their bank branch?
Who comes first will get money, others then later?
How will this be organized?

I've been following reporting on Pol. Capt. Chalerm Yoobamrung for fifteen years. I consider it impossible for him to surprise me. His most recent pronouncement falls into the same category as his, "If Thaksin doesn't return in 2013, you can cut off my head". Just an old drunk who's gone wet-brained. If he didn't say sensational things, no one would pay any attention to him.

Not a bad article, but here is the main point:

If you do not agree with Suthep's approach of boycotting the elections and trying to block people from participating, what is YOUR solution?

I don't like it, but I can't come up with a better way. It is easy to CRITICISE others when they do things that seem "wrong" or unethical, but given the situation, what is the option?

For those who say follow the peace process or negotiate, yes, in theory that is right. But theory is academic. We live in the real world.

Give us a workable solution then I think everyone, including ole' Suthep would listen.
