Piichai

Why are they giving him until August to surrender himself. If he is wanted on sedition charges then get off your lazy fat rear ends and go and get the scum.

Yesterday's news...

You'll recall an awful lot of information and evidence has and was being handed over to the military rather than police over the past 6 mths.

No doubt they have been building up pictures during that time.

There is of course another reason its going on now and that is the army dont need warrants and can go in where and when they choose. This is the best time to use it while they can do anything outside the usual laws they want.

The Police even had they wanted to could not do that.

I am absolutely certain there are parties out there affiliated to political sides and are radical enough to have been using whatever means.

What im really interested in is not the ground troops but the paymasters. I am however sceptical things will become that transparent here.

I think its probably a good idea to keep in mind there is nothing legal in the civilian sense going on here, it could and probably will be at some point be called a purge. Lets hope if there is a purge it looks at ALL sides and cancer, but i dont think for a second it'll be like that.

we can have dreams though

Have to agree with a few things you said as well.

But I don't for a moment believe the police were doing everything they could.

And even if search warrants are required, were they all quashed by Abdul and his cohorts? Either way, I shouldn't think it would make me feel any better about the police.

What we've seen time and time again is that these people think they are untouchable; the "ground troops" (seemingly protected by the police) and the pay masters alike. I suspect now that they're being touched, they're not happy about it. Prayuth will get the "ground troops" first, and they will sing. And considering how widespread it is, it won't take long to get to the top.

And don't forget about that car in Nakhon Nayok. I wouldn't be surprised to see it again in the news soon.

When you look at the current state of affairs you can say only one thing -

Thanks Suthep for killing Thailand!

well thats the opinion who thinks they glass is half empty

But those who think the glass is half full

Thanks Suthep for saving Thailand!

Sure you are retired.... any business man or company can not agree with Suthep, as he did not save the economy, but killed tourism and economy !

Reading your crap posts I hope as a result of your choice, they get rid of all farangs on "O" visas.

I like to think of myself as a businessman, and I agree with Suthep.

CAPO and their bogus Emergency Decree did much more to harm tourism that Suthep ever did.

Regarding the economy: Rice sales down due to Yingluck, rice prices down due to Yingluck, can't sell new cars due to Yingluck, inflation on the rise because of a poorly implemented minimum raise increase due to Yingluck, one could go on and on...

Suthep planted the seed of reform in the minds of Thai's.

Those seeds are bearing fruit.

Well done guys.

Yes, well done indeed!!

Bear the fruits, bare the bottoms.

Lovely, lovely coup!!

Rejoice ye people! Thailand is safe again.

There's little doubt Thailand is more safe than it was just a few days ago.

Glad to hear he was released to the Attorney General for indictment. I think the General showed a very good move there!

I'm not so sure they were indicted, but rather just processed, in which the AG didn't have much choice but to do so.

Before the AG actually goes to court, he'll weigh the evidence to determine if any laws were broken, and then he'll consider if he has enough evidence to convict. He will certainly not pursue the case just because it was initiated by Chalerm and Tarit; in fact, considering how much the political landscape has changed in the last few days, Thaksin himself couldn't force it to happen.

Additionally, considering the legal definitions of the crimes, one should think it'll be an uphill battle. And considering how the CC have already ruled on the peaceful protesters, if the AG gets the ball rolling at all, one should think the CC will overrule or overturn it.

Thinking about it, there's a decent chance the AG might drop all the bogus DSI cases.

Good they have a couple of suspects in custody, now lets see where it leads.

Im not sure how they can say the forensics of bullets match as yet or anything else but way to go in at least having someone.

Now lets see if they squeal and give details of who ordered it.

Oh and btw remember the military can do whatever they like, they dont have to take things through due process or the courts, when you can do whatever you want you can get stuff done far more under a coup.

The only problem with that is there tends to be a lot of kangaroo courts and innocents routinely confess under torture to anything.. Just bare it in mind.

True people do confess under torture, but chances of torture are also not that slim under the PTP controlled police. Under a coup stuff gets done but I honestly think that they had information before that they did not want to share with the police because of who they are aligned with. They could have tipped the suspects off. I think (guess) that the army has been making plans and gathering evidence for when the coup comes to swiftly go after the people responsible.

But I can grantee one thing even with proof there will be plenty of red posters not believing it for sure.

Have to agree.

Looks like the military has been thinking about cleaning house for a while.

Not even propaganda

Context? This was said to the press at the site of the anti-coup demonstrators 3 hours after the protestors have left - so pretty accurate then - show is over, go home.

How about this one:

Time for your type of rhetoric has passed. Does it not worry you that the forces in charge of this country are spewing anti foreigner bile.

Absolutely not! With any luck it might get BBC to look into the cr@p Head has been submitting.

Good job marines.

How long did the police do nothing (hopefully not even protect the killers) ?

Sounds like another job for the NACC!

The die-hard Thaksin supporters on here will grasp negatively at anything Prayuth does. One week ago we had martial law. In one week he has rounded up all the suspects, minus a few hard core patriots, and managed to start paying the farmers who most needed the money.

Thaksin must be chewing himself up.

It doesn't take much effort or intelligence go get the farmers paid when you wield absolute power.

Well, Yingluck couldn't manage it before PDRC hit the streets!

Very bad timing for the farmers.

The World Cup is only a few weeks away and the illegal bookies will be lining up to take their money.

Thais love their football!

They should hand out the money after the final

Shameful.

So 40 million baht will be paid from the government coffers, and an additional 50 billion baht will be loaned by banks which have guns pointed to their heads? Which banks are these and what do their shareholders and customers think of having to forcibly loan the government this money? Why doesn't the junta order DSI to trace the original money that was stolen and force politicians involved to pay back the money?

The NACC is working on it.

Farmers will be pleased to be paid. It's great. However, they will not forget that it was the old guard who blocked the payment in the first place.Nothing to do with the policy itself , just pure bloody-mindedness by Sutphep and the cronies.

Yingluck failed to pay the farmers before PDRC hit the streets, and Yingluck failed to provide for the farmers when she dissolved parliament.

It's Yingluck's fault !

I wonder how many farming families will still be in debt to loan sharks even after this payment.

Perhaps they should start a class action suit against Thaksin and the PTP.

Thaksin acts, and PTP acts!

Thaksin thinks, and PTP acts!

Mrs is in touch with a farmers son in Singburi who is also a reporter for local radio and newspaper.

He has compiled numbers of farmers and how much they are owed in the Singburi province divided up by ampour and he has it down to the last baht.

For instance in the InBuri Ampour there are 857 farmers who are owed a total of 156,973,494 B

Total for the small province of Singburi is 7936 farmers who are owed 899 million.

It would seem this will be paid out in more than one lot with the first comprising 2574 farmers paid a total of 380 million an average of 147,630 each.

There is an item on Thai PBS TV on this right now.

This will be a huge injection of money into a small province.

Go the general

In time to come, the farmers will not remember or care who paid them the money that they are owed. All they will remember is that it was PTP's scheme.

It would seem you Reds don't think very highly of the farmers.

PTP led government did not delay paying the rice farmers. It was EC who tried to bargain with the government - delay election or no payment, and the dem and its pdrc blocking the payments. Threatened banks not to cooperate with the government to pay rice farmers. According to this report, they have been enough funds to pay them and other avenues that funds were available.

Yingluck failed to pay the farmers before PDRC hit the streets, and Yingluck failed to provide for the farmers when she dissolved parliament.

It's Yingluck's fault !

God bless the farmers, and God bless Prayuth!

Amazing how the yellows brush aside the prdc members who are charged with insurrection and terrorism charges!

Oh that's right never happened !

Suthep was at the AG's office bright and early this morning. He's dealing with it.

Everyone has a choice; they don't have to report.

But if they don't, they are subject to arrest, having their pasport revoked, and assets frozen.

Up to them.

you mean like sutheps arrest warrent

What are you talking about?

Up to them.

Unfortunately its called being between a rock and a hard place.--if they don't, report they are subject to arrest, having their pasport revoked, and assets frozen. If they do report we have seen in other countries you get jailed or maybe simply dissapear. Some choice!

PTP & UDD did their dirty deeds as if there would be no tomorrow. Now, as consequences rain upon them, the ubiquitous Thai smile seems to be gone from their faces.

Guess it sucks to be them.

Lets keep this mantra in mind Taksin does not represent democracy.... All together now:

And so does Ahbisit, Suthep, Prayuth. Agree?

Pretty sure Abhisit, Suthep, and Prayuth would all agree Thaksin does not represent democracy.
