h90 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Police denial they fired teargas at protesters and blamed it on third party that it trying to cause more conflicts and trouble for both parties. Live report from TNN live. I heard at least 4 times teargas.....firing 1 or 2 would have been enough, but 4 (or more)caused real first wordwar feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzillauk Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I was reading someware that the PAD even though they use the word democratic, they are infact very undemocratic, and they want to quash the constituition, and making thailand a military run country like burma. I have also read that foreign investors will not be allowed in under this PAD government if they get in. What they are doing is causing mutany against the crown, and comitting treason against the crown. Penalty is death. I don't know if this is true, but read on a foreign website newsite.

hammered Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 State of Emergency is not a solution by any means - they won't be able to enforce it.When massive amounts of people take to the streets and shut down roads/airports/power stations (if it finally happens), the police and even the army won't be able to stop them. >>> Hammered, I don't buy the idea of a behind the curtains power struggle. The situation is completely out of control and no one can predict what the outcome would be and how it will play out. Thousands of people react to daily and even hourly developments, and even Sondhi himself has little control - he has to respond to the situtation just like anyone else. "Behind the curtain" puppet masters must feel utterly helpless. I'm not saying there are no attempts to manipulate the situation, just seriously doubt anyone's ability to do it. Plus I agree with you right now. You are right too to say the military cant control it. That is Samak's downfall. He has played one game too many and everything has gone out of control. It is now about endgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animatic Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) It's so enjoyable to read the light hearted and heartfelt feelings of those truly at one with the concept of Thailand a nice place for all. SCUM : Socially Conscious Urban Mothers Banharn in the mix, on cue, trying to do a deal, on cue. So they are leaning on Samak to control his descision. Step down with cabinet and WE will pick up the pieces with our X coalition. Yep right on cue. He may just call for a re-election rather than submit to this presure tactic.

Spee Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 PAD say they might siege NBT TV station again, so far no sight of protesters reaching NBT station only police guarding the building as reported by TNN live. Amazin ole Samak boy gets a great propoganda win when teh PAD raid NBT and then messes it up with a stupid police assault that loses and now the PAD are going to repeat their mistake of Tuesday. Amazing Thailand In my opinion the PAD wants to make a coup...I think they even told "a coup of the people". For a coup you need the mass media. If I declare alone at home that I am the new premier of Thailand no one will notice it. So they need at least NBT, than go in the government house and declare that they are the new junta..... Everyone broadcasts it. Samak runs away (or the army helps a bit) and the coup is finished. Insightful post, IMHO. Also, let's keep the perspective here. The police and military have by all accounts shown considerable restraint. The protesters have also show some degree of restraint. It's not like the protesters are rioting, looting stores, burning cars, and doing other things consistent with rampant mayhem. Let their voices be heard. But let the democracy, the constitution and the rules of law prevail. Another coup is not the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
