Thai political activist Srisuwan attacked at Technology Crime Suppression Division

[Thingamabob]

Srisuwan has made some very fair protests over the years, but this last one against the comedian seems pointless. Must have been a personal issue I guess.

The latest news is that Srisuwn is filing charges against all those who have donated funds to his attacker. This is not a joke, but still funny. ????

"Srisuwan’s driver then held Weerawit in a neck hold and only released him after woman there pulled his hair and warned him that he is 62 years old."   - yes the policeman was probably gathering evidence from a safe distance....... because nobody had lodged a complaint yet.

what!...it's called 'found offending'..Police have all the power they need to act without a complaint...geez!

The assailant later told the media that his attack on Srisuwan was meant to teach him a lesson, in response to his penchant for filing complaints on almost every issue against various people “indiscriminately”.

I can see where he's coming from.

srisuwan's driver looks like a policeman. How many true social activists have their own personal driver? Is he really a policeman send as a bodyguard?

That might explain why the other uniformed officers didn't have to intervene.

Look, how swiftly srisuwan was whisked off inside the police building, to give him refuge, even he was not in any danger.

He is a governmental stooge, well funded and protected.

 

The attacker simply took over srisuwan press conference and explained his motives.

The attacker seems to have become quite the hero for many Thais ???? 

I watched Note's performance and wondered when someone would get after him.

I thought it would be the authorities, but it seems Thailand has its version of MAGA as well.

obviously a 'slap-stick' comedian.

Wouldn't that be "bag slap", like the "fish slapping" skit in Monty Python?
