PM says authorities won’t spark violence at Thammasat rally

By The Nation

 

PM Prayut Chan-o-cha

 

The government would not do anything to trigger violence at the major anti-government rally on September 19, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Monday.

 

Prayut said he had ordered all relevant state agencies to ensure the safety of the demonstrators and not to allow any third party to take advantage of the event.

 

Groups of student activists will stage the rally at Thammasat’s Tha Prachan Campus in Bangkok to call for a rewrite of the junta-drafted Constitution, a halt to intimidation of activists, and dissolution of Parliament.

Get in there first, Prayut. And an interesting play on words, I'm sure.

That might take some time. 

 

It starts off innocently enough then comes the iron will. My mind often returns to the word Thammasat.  Good reminder that nothing's changed, trust me.

Yeah, just follow them home so they can be harassed later.  

 

These kids are a real problem for him and he knows it.

No they will wait until after then kick in doors and arrest a few 'leaders' to intimidate the rest. National security and the other thing.

Does "relevant state agencies" include groups of organized thugs with motorcycle helmets and baseball bats?

Yes because some have the ability to use their brain rather than recite and only follow orders.
