Two workers of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration were seriously injured - plus four others injured - because of a firecracker bomb. They were not part of the PDRC. The PDRC had in fact abandoned the area. They were administrative workers, and they were cleaning up the area. They were the victims of a vicious, vicious unprovoked attack. What does this tell us ? It tells us that the attackers don't care if they were protesters or not. They don't care that they were administration workers peacefully and dutifully doing their job. They don't care if they had a wife and family who deeply loved them. It tells us that the attackers are monsters.

Looks from Thai TV reports more like the PDRC had it hidden there for whatever reason, There are loons on that side as well!!!

It wasn't an attack by anybody so don't know what they telling you on Bluesky.

Being wounded by a grenade is not a crime; firing a grenade at protesters is. So why do police police want to enter the protest area when the crime was committed some hundreds of yards away?

So much to learn before you start commenting on police investigations.

You have to be at the impact area to ascertain the direction it came from, further, check it wasn't a dropped on again like the one on the march with the guy running to hide behind a pillar.

and then.... ah never mind. Enjoy your rambles

I like how they only mention facebook as the way to send information to the police.

Facebook is the best way as there were thousands, if not millions of pics out there and these guys (as any good cop know) did not just appear and dissapear at Lak Si.

They were other places first, en route and after and this is where they pick them up without masks on.

Police have got quite a few of them now, wonder if they'll get him before he is dissaperared!

Wow, another brilliant non-partisan rice article.

Nothing on the fact that the PDRC coup has failed and is attracting only a hundred or so protestors.

Nope, got to keep the media in line re-gurgitate the propaganda of the day. was it 3 rice articles yesterday?

Great posts devoid of anything other than smears and snears from the Coup lovers.

Next

Interesting in other media that PDRC are saying he is Army who came to help them. These pics been circulating for 4 days now so they had time to get story sorted. They will try to spin it as army who just came to help of their own accord. Yeah right.

Some one is going to name him as Army by the look of it. Which means the following happened.

PDRC Hijack ballots, pro-government try to get them released. - ARMY send in squad in order to ensure the ballot papers are not released.

Therefore Army heavily implicated in this as we all new and appears they were helping PDRC to retain the ballot boxes.

No men in black and third hands.... This is the work of Suthep and his allies.

Trojan horse anybody!!!

Watch what them old farmers are bringing in with em!!!!!

Can't see em changing sides and they have more chance of getting it from Yingluck than Suthep. Old Sutheps more likely to be getting them to sign their land over to him and his mates for more golf courses, car show rooms, brothels and palm oil factories.

They'll learn.

How many propagandist rice articles a day are the Suthep media pumping out?

No news here, even the farmers' buffaloes are smart enough to have seen the mob closing down the offices and banks that could have helped them.

Was the Chinese who cancelled when Suthep got his courts into start meddling. They are more than prepared to let the farmers go to the wall if they believe they can make some political capital out of it or tempt some int joining them... Hence the blitzkreig of propagana on the subject from his media cronies.

All this news on a day that Sutheps mob probably shrank to under 100 on one of the busiest mob days of the week. Don't suppose it's news though really if you own all the media and are heavily invested in this goon and his coup.

Thais have good memories and even Suthep was lamenting that BKK people ignored him over the Phuket land scam for many years.. Until now actually when he started the coup rolling again for them. They know a bad un...

Everybody else has seen the shrinking crowds and the latte break and evening rush hour protesters.

It's a simple enough point and I'm surprised you can't grasp it. An arrest warrant, especially on such serious charges as murder and sedition, requires all honest citizens to report the whereabouts of the fugitive to the police. That's what 'wanted' means. You seem to think that 'on the run and not yet convicted' is the same thing as 'pure as the driven snow'. By mentioning Bin Laden I am making the point that wanted fugitives should not be permitted freedom of movement.

You say "it's not the same as harbouring a fugitive". Well, yes, that's exactly what it is.

What should be the punishment for those that help a fugitive?

In PDRC land should it ever exist, it will be death by mob. The fascists and nazis of the last century shot dead anybody caught harboring and also shot most of the family as well.

Lets hope that the end is near. I can only asume that the Gov leave them out there protesting so as to drain their finances and good will pool.

CAPO said as much this morning when they said the money flow is drying up and many of the big backers are taking big hits in the Asoke and ZEN areas of town.

Mob down below 100 tonight at asoke. This even after the evening build up. More people in the park at prom Phong watcching the jazz. many times more in fact.

What the Government need to do is really finish off the fascists financially and make sure they don't have the money or support in future to try and bounce back from this as Pitak Siam and Whitefaces were allowed to do. Then, set the reform ball rolling. How could anybody dream that PT would agree to a reform taking place that specifically excluded them? Some real crazies on those stages and luckily due to their age, this could be the last stand and meddle for them. Lets hope

Yes, it's very odd why the police are so diligent when red shirts are victims. With all the acts of violence - some deadly - against the protestors, no culprits. That includes the protest leader shot dead by a red shirt mob on Bangna and Ko Tee's attack on the protestors on Chang Wattana and his group's probable involvement in the Laksi shootings.

BTW omitted from the Bangkok Post reference by the propaganda peddlers is that a PT party election candidate believed that the attack was over a business conflict. Always selectively printing the 'truth'.

On the other subject mentioned in this thread, there were 2 serious cases from Thaksin's war on drugs. The cases were a child shot dead by the police in Bangkok in an alleged drug-dealer's getaway. I don't know the result of this case - probably dropped by BIB mates.

The second case was in Kalasin where a number of BIB were convicted of murdering a youth and sentenced to death by a court of first instance. Unbelievably they were given bail. Unfinished business with this case.

The vast majority of victim's relatives were far to scared to take any action against extra-judicial killings. It's not hard to understand why ordinary people don't take on the BIB when they can't even resolve cases of killings of their own by a high-profile politician's son and by a Ferrari-driving rich businessman.

Ok lets stop the "Thai Police only arrest yellows" bleating in its tracks

They already arrested quite a few redshirts.

They also got the student murderers from Ramkhang heand which proved there was no third hand and no men in black.

They got the gang who bombed abhisits house. They got some of Koh Tee's gang, including one with a RPG.

Give it a rest, the Police have been trying to prevent attacks on the fascists to prevent the army coming in on the pretext of restoring order.

Why not check some facts before you waste time rambling on about things you know nothing about. <deleted> it was even on Bluesky.... I imagine

6 Arrest warrants just issued for serving army sargeants and officers at Military Camp in Kanchanaburi. I'm assuming the names and pics will follow, but for now They have handed them to the Army and asked that the personel be haded over to Police.

Oh dear oh dear. Most media waiting for put some positive spin on this, but it's out there already and even the other western media has it.

Soldiers?

How surprising

Speaks volumes of the ineptitude of the organisation many on the yellow side are screaming out at to come in and rule the country

6 serving soldiers (these are trained gun people if they are in the army) Hire a southern hitman, then set off to kill an old man on his doorstep..... And failed to hit the target properly from close range.

7 of them, could not even take out one old man!! They really going to come in and run the country and do battle with red shirts!!!

Lost in all the hilarious posts here.

The rally at Sukhothai was massive in comparison to Sutheps rump stock of stranded Southern farmers and office workers on their latte breaks

Plenty of people outside BKK and TV and Suthep western media firmly back the PM.

And she has dealt with the protest well, she has kept the rioting down, kept the army out and is seen as defending democracy in the face of fascism.

Know many don't like it, but its true. The day he wins a popularity poll on TV is the day she joins Suthep and his cronies on the long slow march to totalitariansim and civil war.

Well Done,

In any moment the Military will show up and tell Mrs Yinluck...Reform or Coup!..and the PM knows that means......My guess?

She will resign to have more time to set her affairs in "order", before running to meet her brother...Nothing will change..the poor will lose in one way or another... like always..but at least will be order again in Thailand...and a new hope for Change...not including Suthep.

Early on, Yinkgluk was widely reported to have taunted Prayuth teling to "go on and coup then, and you can have all the problems on your desk again".

The old days and ways of the elites and army are over now, and some need to get used to it.

The problems the Government have now are mostly of the PDRC making and court meddling. Add on a major revolt and international sanctions and people who are smart enough, know the coup would fail spectaculary and quickly should they ever get it going again.

Sutheps weekend of love! Whats that about. The amount of people he attracts now, would be attracted by a market and live music in greater numbers than are there now!!

OTOP (Thanks Thaksin) attract many times the amount of people you see at Asoke.

Most are seeing now that he has to take his rally to the office areas, pull in a few on their lunch break and on the way home, suck in some shoppers and looky loos and thats it/ Failed Coup PDRC must soon go the way of Pitak Siam

Quit complaining. At least the police caught somebody so that's an improvement on their performance in the war on the dugs when there were over 2500 murders and they didn't get catch anyone.

I'm so interested to here you flesh out your drug killings nonsense.

Espescially the statistics bit. I've read virtually everything on it, inc. the outside analysis of the figures.

Go on. You and your buddies quote this on every thread. Post me your facts and statistics and I'll show you the real ones, and also show you and your buddies that you know squat and are regurgitating garbage you have heard from a friend of a friend in a bar....

Lets have your full version then please. We seen at least 3 people trot this out this morning on here (all with different stats as well I note)

Meanwhile OT (which the war on drugs isn't)

The police will know full well now who ordered this and they'll be making politial capital out of it or looking to extract money.

Well done the Police again They have caught quite a few this week. Once they stray from the Asoke Pen, the sheep are subject to the laws of the land again!!

Such as they are

Well if you are as well informed as you say you are then why not share your inside knowledge with the rest of us...... unless it's a secret of course.

So thats a "none of us know" Well done guys!!!

looks like the reds are now blowing up their own people, they have already shot one leader and now this. Looks like they want to try to have the protesters blamed for everything the reds do themselves, what more can we expect from these dumb ars*s, then they run away(just like bus drivers so maybe all the bus drivers are reds too) to escape being charged or found guilty and claim they are scared for their lives, what a joke.

They got the guys who shot the leaders. Looks like volunteer army guards brought up from Pattanni

Well done the police,, they got the Ramkanghaend shooters, the bus torchers and the gunman from that, 2 more rounded up this week at checkpoints carrying arms, whistles and walkie talkies the Navy Seal Team,

Here as part of his re-enactment is the guy who tried to shoot the red leader. Police will have him sqealing like a pig, they he'll go down for a long long time

They also have full mugshot of the PDRC guy with the gun in the popcorn bag. Took off the balaclava posed with mates and pics all over the internet again today. Perfect shot and they'll have him next

Thats 10 armed men the BIB have pulled in. Surprised there wasn't much more praise for them considering many here have been squeaking for them to do something about the attacks!!

This government is so weak that its beyond pathetic.

Military do not back them, police do not back them , now they turning to Immigration police for help who i am sure also will not back them.

Police now have 5 gunmen in custody. and the machine gun man has been identified today.

They rounding them up.... slowely but surely, they are rounding them up. You need to watch more Thai Media?

Rest assured that if the PDRC threatening to blow up LPG truck, grenade attacks at Thai banks, attacking Thai charity with grenades, attacking NPP and TPI buildings with grenades, storming parliament, storming police hospital, storming TV station, bombing electricity pylons, taking 2 police hostage, burning fire engines, destroying CCTV cameras, dumping tyres on sky train tracks and using children as human shields you can be assured the govt would send the army in.

But the PDRC has blown up several things, launched grenade attacks, stormed parliament, stormed TV stations, taken police hostage (in fact almost beating to death), destroyed untold public property, brought children to dangerous rally sites.

On top of this they have committed the most brazen, daylight armed assault in the history of Thailand.

But don't worry the army still won't be sent in.

The most brazen armed assault in the history of Thailand ... yes. I agree. At this moment with the evidence at hand. I'm not 100% sure it was PCAD that the Guy in black with the Tavor belonged to..mainly because of how brazen it was.. they seemed to ENSURE that they were in front of camera's ... but I don't think we will EVER know!

There is an excellent video. Over 1 hour of analysis of all of the photos & videos available. It is fronted by the current Deputy Minister of Finance, but I am not allowed to post the link as the video is in Thai. Anyway I'm sure that those that have their heads out of the sand, with their eyes clear will be able to find it and digest the information.

I saw it spread far and wide on twitter. Strange how many incriminating pics of the PDRC never show up in some media.

There was no report whatsoever last weekend of the 3 shots fired by the PDRC into 2 cars at Lumpini. These were shoot to kill, the bulled hit the steering wheel and the guys ear. 3 inches to the right and he was dead.!!

The media really have disgraced themselve with the backing of this coup. Who knows, maybe reform will have to set in at the news papers once this Coup is finally laid to rest

http://www.khaosod.co.th/en/view_newsonline.php?newsid=TVRNNU1UUXhNREkyTnc9PQ==&sectionid=TURFd01BPT0=

they are outing them. 4 have been arrested already and I have seen the pics on the Thai Police web site.

looks like this guys days are numberd as well. Lots of activity on social medai and I am confident many more will be arrested when the time is right. Won't be now, as that plays into Sutheps hands.... but they'll get them

Shame the army couldn't help out there a bit more isn't it.

Oh, they are helping out in the South today - 3 dead, 2 bombings and a shooting this morning already. They do so well don't they in Pattani,

So the sins of the father are used to tar the son, and regurgitated to tar the father again.

Suthep has had so much traction with the protests that PTP will take any and all roads high low and subterranean to remove even a jot of his influence and ability to cut their path short. In that light, it is no wonder anything his son does in business will be laid at his feet as a crime of the highest magnitude. Until proved in a court of law, this reportage MUST be assumed to be a political hatchet job, driven by PTP desperation, and nothing more.

But of course Thaksin partisans whether paid PR hacks, or zealot believers, or the simply misinformed, will parrot the innuendos endlessly.

Traction.

You call his 6,000,000 man march now reduced to 100-200 traction.? I call if abject failure and luckily the Government is just letting it fail in a way that it damages the Coup backers so much, that they never try it again.

This attempt of Sutheps could well be the last we see in Thailand. It's just the dregs left of the PAD, the Pitak Siam and the Whitefaces gathered for one last push to overthrow democracy. They will be so financially damaged after this that they won't be able to re-group this time.

Great ploy of the Government just to leave them out there. Blocking roads, annoying their own support base. Arrests would only strengthen Suthep..... so lets leave him out there another 6 months and see how well it goes down with the backers.

Are you sure all the zealots and paid hacks are on the thaksin side.

Lets here your guess of his full time mob now. Not the ones who finish work and turn up at Asoke and Silom. His full time support. Then with use of a calculator tell us how many short of 6,000,000 it is, PDRC figures not ours. Suthep claimed and Bluesky claimed there were 6 million marching in nov/dec. Don't see them now do we!!!

You try to dress your post up as balanced and reasoned, when it is fact the same drivel you complain about on the other side of the debate.

“If (you) want a prime minister with full power, the only option is to tear up the Constitution. Whether tearing up the Constitution will be successful or not depends on the people. It’s up to the people if they want to preserve democracy but the election has shown that 20 million people exercising their voting rights to maintain democracy.”

Nope,... you gotta ask the army....

The Army is too busy "ruling" the southern 3 provinces and presiding over daily bombings and killings. Bet they are glad they don't have to rule the rest of the country in this manner.

the Army coming in now is most unlikely as Suthep is down to his last few hundred followers. They only get rally in evening as they take the rally to the office workers in Asoke and Silom.

Contrast the Reds Rally. They were here in bigger numbers and a long way from their villages and still had many times more people in Lumpin than Suthep has now.

It would be good now for the Government if they did have a coup. It would allow the people to see the corruption and bumbling of the the Junta that we saw last time. Then.... Sooner rather than later. A real uprising of real people marching for democracy.

Millions of people have died fighting for their rights all over the world. That this attack against democracy is allowed to stay out there for so long is damaging Thailand internationally.
