WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 ASTV is a sham. I frankly challenge the sanity of anyone taking that tripe seriously. Finally the police did something GOOD in this country: restore law and order. Quite a change from rounding up school girls not wearing helmets, I for one am happy someone somewhere grew a spine to get this yellow rent-a-mob back to their jobs, or whatever it is they normally do.

h90 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The daily mail co uk have a ton of pictures if anyone is interested.. This picture at the end caught my attention.. Is that tear gas or a grenade? Any experts here? 3 People are dead now. Well it's certainly not a tear-gas cannister and it looks too big for a hard-boiled egg. And look at the plastic bag...that are not his balls unless he is unusual rich on balls.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sriracha john Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Casualties from today's collision already exceeds 200 Reports suggest that today’s collisions between the PAD and police forces has already caused more than 200 casualties. Narenthorn Centre at the Ministry of Public Health concluded that more than 200 casualties had been estimated as a result of constant use of tear gas projectiles by police forces to subdue the PAD’s protestors at the Parliament compound and the car explosion in front of the Chart Thai Party headquarters. Moreover, the number of casualties is expected to increase further if the violent clashes continue. - ThaiNews / 2008-10-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder26 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Seems the protests are expanding... Is this the beginnings of a civil war??? Any wagers on how long before the tanks roll out??? As sooner the tanks are rolling as better for Thailand.....It seem the Army are the only one who can bring peace. As silly the last military government was, it was still 1000% better than the thaksin cronies. Actually they are on the way right now. Their aim is to stop the chaos.

Seizhin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Perhaps a solution to the problem is to give the protesters a job, then they wouldn't be able to sit on the streets all day and night, if they had to wake up at 6am to go to work. they have a job PAD are paying them 500 baht a day to protest!!!! And again...tell where to pick up the money...my wife is there every day but can't find where to pick up money. It is simply a lie. Where are you based in? Maybe Bangkok doesnt have it. I confirmed that in Hat Yai, after stating your ID Card Number, you'll receive 300 baht for a session, and 500 baht per day if you decided to go to Bangkok. I got a few friends who departed to Bangkok on the deal, free foods, free drinks, lots of gifts but you'd have to sleep on the streets though. Lastly, it seems that the offer is limited to people are affiliated with the guards or knows anyone with some authority in PAD, my Mom didnt get any of such offers when she went to the mob area here.

Loptr Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If this were any other country on the planet, how long do you think the government would allow protesters to occupy the seat of government without being dispersed, alive or dead??? In my home country, they would have never been allowed to take control in the first place... With this latest flurry of violence, Thailand can write-off high season this year... Yes, tourism is only 6% - 7% of GDP, but that's still billions of baht... How will the BiB survive without having farang tourists to extort money from???

Lastly, it seems that the offer is limited to people are affiliated with the guards or knows anyone with some authority in PAD, my Mom didnt get any of such offers when she went to the mob area here. Well we know a lot people from Koh Samui, Phuket, Pattaya, Nakhon SiThammarat. They usually pay together for the bus and if someone has no money he can come for free. Food and drinks are there for free for everyone, usually the vegetarien food from Chamlong or donated food. Many areas cook together and also sell for very low prices (their self costs, which are often nothing if everything is donated). Today my wife wanted to bring nudels but it didn't happen. But no need to sleep on the streets, everything is full of donated tends. So yes you can stay there without spending any money and for sure you get gifts. If someone looks poor for example my wife buys some toys for the kids....It is a nice each other loving community, but not a "rent a mob". We have a lot namecards from business owners there and my staff met some of our customer there and that are all people who are wealthy enough....

This is what I am thinking. I don't really know what a tear gas grenade looks like but I think that a hand thrown grenade would/could be smaller than a canister because it would not need the projectile unit.

It's not that they dont want to disperse them, they just just cant do this. The Military are not in the government's side in Thailand, different from other countries such as Philipines, Indonesia or Malaysia who can forcefully disperse these protesters. PADs are destroying the economy, closing down Airports, that's enough reason to be proved guilty. Just let Thailand die, as long as both the Government and PAD are not stepping down, Thailand knows no peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty rare for them to extort money from foreigners. Hasn't happened to me in 10 years here. You must be unlucky or get yourself into stupid situations.

sriracha john Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Some of the police are armed with shot-guns, a shot-gun blast aimed at the feet or legs would certainly cause the damage seen so far on pictures posted here. I've been watching the news for the whole day through all the official channels, and I switched channel often, I dont see where the police had shotguns except for their Tear Gas Launchers.

Kan Win Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Opposition Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva, however, said after a second round of meetings with his party's executive committee and members that the ongoing tensions the country is experiencing has resulted from the government's decisions in dealing with, and mishandling, the situation. Mr. Abhisit called for resolving the crisis through parliamentary channels. He affirmed that the Democrat Party "doesn't support a military coup", as it believes it is not a way out for the country. TNA Yours truly, Kan Win I think Abhisit is a nice, smart guy. But that is nonsense. When police is using violence, PAD is blocking the parliament. We have almost a civil war and Abhisit means we should speak about it next time when we meet. Maybe a compromise? Beating but not to strong, and cutting just 1 leg not two? Hi "h90", Only posting news updated's as I find them. Abhisit means we should speak about it next time when we meet. So where should we meet and when? So, you speak for him now, do you? A Tongue and Cheek comment only "h90". Please keep on postings, nice to read yours and others members posts Yours truly, Kan Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
