    Junta will not rest until people who protest are maimed for life or dead. Very sad state of affairs.

  • I agree & would love to witness this happening - But this is a country ruled by the military, they have long prevented people assembling to protest, they do it very well, the major protesters woul

 Shameful, disgusting, cowardly.

Those cowards can only do that to the conscripts inside the barrack with no witnesses. 

Exactly.  And one of the young soldiers they murdered was actually a volunteer whose dream it was to be in the army.  Brutally murdered just the same for some unintentional infraction of petty rules but the murder was justified by the current powers that be and no one punished other than minor slap on wrist.

The mentality is not much different from the 70s under military governments when labour leaders simply disappeared, villagers were boiled in oil and their villages bombed by the airforce.  A mad monk preached that it was not a sin to kill a "communist".  It was only too easy to brand the enemies of those in power as communists.

Rather than condemning the act you are casting dispersions upon the victim.

Disgusting it is.

No, but maybe not an awake person that have been attacked by 5 persons with clubs where they also hit him in the head.

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.

They used sticks, not "clubs".

Your disgusting and disrespecting comment implement a doubt of being attacked by 5 men, because he looks too good with his injuries. 

You should apologise publicly.

That makes no difference for the case

"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? 

I wonder what branch of the services they belong to.

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.

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.

Well, it shows ME, that not only Trump got a lack of moral and character. 

As you would know best there are a lot of fake NEWS. However there is no doubt about it that this man was beaten up. This is to condemn. And everybody with common sense and a higher standard of morality will do so. 

My judgement about you did not change.

And the Democrats had no comments???? One of their senior guys , I think Khun Rames was attacked before according to some past media coverages, so they should understand intimidation by the dictators and party. Shame if the democrats do not respond...shows what they really are.

Republican supporters were attacked and beaten in the democrat stronghold of San Jose California as they left a Trump rally. But what is really scary is the fact that the local police there just stood by and did absolutely nothing.

Maybe - he can "take a punch", maybe it was twigs, not sticks?

Your correct he does not look like he was attacked by 5 viscous thugs, not a drop of blood?

OP makes a better headline than "Miserable man has bruise on head" though ????

Nevertheless. I stand by my statement, if they intended to kill him they well may have done so. He certainly doesn't appear to be at Death's door, or even a short taxi ride to it. Perhaps the was a translation problem, and he actually attacked by 5 men with club memberships.

It's so easy where this attack come from: the ones he protested against! He is in their way and treated badly to catch up with the main stream in Thailand. Junta in power. That's the democracy in Thailand.

I am not ,have not, said the man was not attacked,it just was not by 5 men

with sticks, it's more like 5 men slapped him about a bit,,and just by the photo

you must come to the same conclusion,but for whatever reason cannot see it,

 Bringing in Trump goes to show you have lost the debate,sorry.

Goes back further than that Eric, doesn't it. Or would you like to conveniently forget about all those Shin militia attacks prior to the coup??

Why are you living in the past ( other than to deflect ) , reality is the here and now !

Just as likely, given the guy's lack of serious injury, that it was a black flag operation perpetrated to garner sympathy and support for his cause.

 

Or, maybe just incompetent attackers.   Hard to say in Thailand. 

 

And whenever I think I know who the good guys are in Thai politics, it just turns out that someone's spin doctors have done a good job.

Well, I did not expect at any point to hear an apology but guess there is a lot of stubborness which will prevent you from admitting sending disgusting comments. 

Next time please think twice before sending offending posts.
