Where is it reported that bystanders intervened? I don't want him dead, TYVM, but it seems reasonable that if 5 men with clubs attack a person with intent to kill, they may well succeed.
"Sirawith said he tried to flee but tripped on the pavement’s uneven ground before the men surrounded him and repeatedly beat his head. The attackers reportedly fled after bystanders noticed the commotion". Khaosod.

Oh it never got through, so we should all forget the stench of the PTP amnesty bill, the changes to the legislation, the 4:25 am parliament session, and the call to BKK of red thugs to stifle dissent? You wish.
BTW we all know who 9 years of amnesty was meant to relieve of the many crimes he committed, not to mention the ones being committed at the time.
The stench of the PTP amnesty did not reach the level of the junta amnesty. One didn;t happen while the other did. Can't see the difference? What about the 4.25 parliament session. The Dems were invited and they refused. Only red thugs? You myopic or what.

"he believed his assailants had wanted him dead because they kept hitting him on the head with wooden clubs." My question is, if they wanted him dead, why is he alive? Perhaps some exaggeration in the telling?
Why the silly question. They could have beat him to death if not for the witnesses and bystanders who intervene. Just like the previous time he was abducted by uniform men and could have finished him off if not for the CCTV of the abduction spreading through the social media. Seriously why he need to exaggerate. He and his fellow activists have been attack numerous times. Why the urge to want him dead. Rather thuggish way of thinking.

Elected governments would never write themselves an amnesty for all crimes committed, and include a few mates and family members, would they?
Only one amnesty went through the legislative process without any blotches. That junta amnesty is all encompassing too to give the coupsters full protection.
By the way, that amnesty bill also provided for the yellow shirts, their leaders and Ahbisit.

Party split looks inevitable. Party is torn apart by Ahbisit’s incompetence and weakness to stop the influence of Suthep’s faction and the rot has developed. Jurin do not have the incumbency to demand unity. I hope the 28 young MPs will break and join up with the FFP.

Moralising lefties like you look down on anyone who doesn't share their craving for a socialist utopia, and all the cultural vandalism that goes with it.
So you are a liberalist. That explain a lot of your thinking behind your posts.

No slander Eric, just the truth only after the junta took over were bombers found. You know that i prefer the PTP in power now but that does not make me forget about their past. If you think how Charlem handled it saying go home we can't protect you was good, and the fact that only after a change in power people got caught shows me enough.
Like I said all sides seem to have their dark side and the PTP is no exception no matter how much you want to think that.
It was bad then, it is bad now and will probably be bad in the future too. They all seem to love to intimidate their opponents and only condemn it when they are on the receiving side.
Would be nice to see some change in this area, but nobody will take the first steps.
I am glad the junta found those bombers. Mostly linked to the south insurgency like the Big C and Ramkhamheang bombings although the Erawan and the spate of bombs in few south provinces are still stalled. Well the Trat alleged bombers were released. So really a mixed bag which include the Hospital bombing conviction by someone who just dislike the military and wanted to make a statement. Anyone I left?
The junta intimidation does sink to pretty low level with those ending up in Mekong or dead in the cells or extra judiciary kidnapping and those attitude adjustments. They are unlike elected governments as they wrote themselves amnesty for all crimes committed.

Yea I wonder when I saw this before.. I guess it was during the bombing of anti government protesters against YL. Same inaction same protecting of thugs by those in power.
Only the faces change tactics seem to be the same for all of them.
Wish there would come a government that would go after thugs / criminals no matter who they support.
Fat chance though all I see is an ever repeating cycle where the same dirty tricks are repeated by successive governments.
Nothing ever changes here besides the faces of those stealing from the country. Sad.
She came out strong against the attacks and the bombs. Told the police to step up security and offer compensation to those affected. So far nothing from the junta PM, Interior and Defense Ministers. Sad that you tried to slander one side for political gains.

LOLOL I liked him since the early days when he was doing a nes conference and the same reporter kept asking the same question until Prayut said.....I am not answering and if u ask me again, I am coming over there and punch u in the mouth.
Same thing Trump should do to everyone at CNN and MSNBC.
Trump is the absolute best President in my 66 years.
When he finishes in 2024
Then 8 yrs of Don Jr
Then 8 yrs of Ivanka as first female Prez
By then Baron will be old enough for his 8 yrs
By then USA will be the MEGA power of the world, there will finally be true world peace, prosperity on a scale that has never been envisioned and the entire world will finally be the place it should be.
Thanks for listening~~~!!!!!
What is that popping sound?. Oooops it’s democratic liberal heads exploding......GOOD~!!
I always wanted a good example of a troll message for educational purposes and I got one. A big thank you for the contribution.

So not the UDD as they seemed to have disappeared. Perhaps their funding stopped? Must be somebody else's thugs carrying on what seems to be a Thai tradition.
Any suggestions on what form this protection should take? A couple of police or military bodyguards following them around might help, and would promptly be called intimidation.
A stern statement from the Interior and Defense Ministers will be useful and should be forthcoming. But silence almost seem like admitting guilt and encouraging the thugs even more.

First order of the day for the new fiscal package is to review the excessive defense budget, cancel those military procurement, abolish conscription (save billions) and reduce the size of the Generals still being paid for not doing much. Use that over stretched and opaque budget to raise wages.

Interesting points. If you have a Junta government, with Article 44, unbridled power and you still can't make taxi drivers turn their meters on or stop refusing fares; or stop people riding motorbikes on the pavement sidewalks, then that says it all!
Yet he still get adored by some here. Says it all don't they.

Goes back even further like 1976 and 1992. Short memory BB.

He is too dumb to have any vision. His whole life is about orders not vision. He probably think it’s about his eyes.

one strike with a wooden stick can kill. He was lucky, even if killing was an intention of attackers
Those cowards can only do that to the conscripts inside the barrack with no witnesses.

Or do you see it like when students fight between universities, it´s the pricipals fault?You do know the difference being attack and being in a fight. And you do know it’s a series of attacks dating back to the Park incident. It is a pattern and you can bet nothing will come out of the incidents even if there are CCTV evidence. And you know why. No?

There can be two things here. Either the assilants where blind and couldn´t hit his head, or the story is a little bit salted for good news value.
However, we can not wish pain afflicted on anybody, so great the he seem to be okey.Maybe he got a head make of steel. Does it matter. He got attacked by junta goons speaking out against the junta. Salted or pickled; Thailand is better than this without intimidation by the junta.

The army stops at nothing to maintain the status quo, and seriously how bad is it? We're all free to go about our business, enter and leave the country as we wish, enjoy our lives, travel around, see our friends, succeed in our work, pursue hobbies and interests. It's hardly the Soviet Gulag, so why are you making such a fuss about nothing?
As I've said, regimes like the one in Thailand are common in this region, and benevolent dictators are the norm, even if you still think that Hun Sen is some kind of softy democrat,
All these TV armchair warriors like you make me chuckle.
Nice that you still get a chuckle of Ja New and other young activists got beatened up by your benevolent dictator. Those fished out from the Mekong must be just a chuckle for your kind. What a shame.

When I was young and stupid I joined the Black May protest on Ratchadamnoen Avenue in 1992, when the army opened fire on the demonstrators - it was terrifying and I'll bet you've never seen anything like it.
Now I'm older and wiser, I only pick fights that I have a chance of winning ????
Your fight is over. This is a fight for the younger generation and their future. They should not be denied.

A group led by anti-military activist Sirawich Serithiwat, yesterday held a demonstration at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre calling on junta-appointed senators not to vote for General Prayut to become prime minister again.
The junta goons beat up Sirawich bad. First they rigged the election and now they beat up those who spoke out. Pity there are those who still speak well of this junta in this forum.

They worry if they link up with PT they'll lose more supporters as Thaksin was their arch enemy. But they could team up temporarily to fight the junta and go their own ways later.
Similarly PTP will not ask Dem to form the coalition as their supporters will never accept that. Dem is stuck in a hard place. IMO they will join the junta coalition and abstain from voting for the PM to show some sort of defiance.

Phalang Pracharat still short on seats to form coalition

They are called pro democracy and Thais have high regards for them. Nothing nasty about them going against a dic regime. All should be proud; maybe not you but who cares.
