Did you hear about the 100s of people he killed in Isarn with no trial? Many were innocents.

 

No but I am sure he had a valid reason. Most likely to eat their hearts and attained their power. 

That's why I do it. They are Arroy Mak Mak with some fava beans and a nice Chianti ????

All too common throughout the 60s and 70s by way of the dictatorial powers that be. 

.....and certainly rumours of this brutal nature during Thaksin's reign. 

So, what's to say that all of these clandestine nasties aren't still occurring in spotted instance......say, for the last 10 years? 

 

No era is without guilt or charge.

Almost guaranteed, all these secretive activities were related to the make believe and obsessively paranoid "war on drugs". Under Thaksin's direction, there were some real nasties strategies involved - most hush hush. But a few scandalous events leaked out publically.

Indeed. 

Those that have researched deeply, regarding this era, should encourage others to dig for themselves - as there is a wealth info related to the criminal and immoral behaviour and shenanigans under Thaksin's approving watch.

I was actually answering a ridiculous question with an equally ridiculous answer. The second law of thermodynamics indicates that they cancel eachother out.  .

Perhaps if he had said "Thaskin's policies" it would be arguable , but to say "Thaksin killed them.......

In that case, lock him up if he ever returns. Same as Duterte in Philippines.

IIRC that was sanctioned by a higher authority than Thaksin.

Then the same should apply to the military officers that were in charge during the various coups, the Tak Bai massacre, at the Rajaprasong massacre of civilians etc.

He gave police, provincial and district chiefs targets to meet, in the business sales style he used building up his telecom empire.

A certain number of arrests had to be made monthly, otherwise a transfer for the hapless official(s).

Arrests for possession and arrests for dealing. Absolutely no mercy was to be shown to dealers, some suspects were found shot dead. The police said by other gang members 

How did they know he was a dealer? He was found with 2 amphetamine pills in his pocket. This scenario happened time and again.

Some authorities placed suggestion boxes outside their office where members of the public could anonymously drop names in on a bit of paper.

Hey! I don't like my business rival down the road, he sells more motorbikes than I do. So I put his name in the box.

Hundreds of innocent people must have been killed but Thaksin naturally refused any investigation.

I am sure many people use many excuses but the fear of unfairness in Thai legal system and the influence that politics have on some of that unfairness  is not an excuse but rather an explanation.

That sounds to me like policy.

  Some would argue that such policy was not well developed and or applied, and others would disagree,and present arguments that those who disagree were mistaken and that such policy did more good than bad.

   I take no lossition in that debate as I don't know enough to have an educated opinion, 

  But that does not change the fact that it was policy .

It's a pity there has been no real investigation and trial on responsibilities for this tragedy!

I wonder why the army and the Dems quickly buried the case as deep as possible after starting an investigation? (Sarcasm alert)
