Mother Confronts Red Shirts For Her Child

[needforspeed]

I'll give the lady the benefit of the doubt about her story, but I still think its mental to try and drive through a protest. Just asking for trouble.

Agree, but maybe she didn't know about the protesters there and she could't turn around, did she still manage to reach the hospital without a scratch and on time?

[tw25rw]

So were there any similar reports about mercy dashes to attend births or to be at the side of a death bed being made impossible by the "peaceful" airport occupation? Or do we only get to read about a crying kid supposedly going to hospital?

[britmaveric]

Would it surprise me if it was propaganda no, but I think both the government and reds are throwing so much BS out there its getting hard to tell what the real situation actually is.

These people are certainly not thugs and some of them if not a majority can have a civilized intellectual conversation, their idealism is good (although a bit towards socialist/marxist ideal-which is perfectly ok and a good idealism in theory), the only thing i have against them is their unwillingness to separate themselves from thaksin, their unwillingness to negotiate, their unwillingess to agree to a 9 month schedule where the government will democratically ask the people what they want and act upon it, and last but not least the extreme hypocrisy of their leaders (all of their leaders including thaksin)

If it were my wife and son and me in the pickup taking my son to hospital and some red/yellow/ black/green or any other shirt colour tried to stop us I am 100% certain that my wife would not be so polite and neither would I.

If my wife explained what the problem was and some red/yellow/ black/green or any other shirt colour would not let us through I suspect that my wife would run him/ her / them over and throw them into the pickup to take to hospital as well.

Our son is far more important than any red/yellow/ black/green or any other shirt colour to us.

Hmmmm I expect your wife would be beaten to death and the vehicle flipped over. No one in their right mind tries to drive through 1000's of protesters.

Equally no one in their right mind would stop a mother taking her child to hospital.

Oh that's right. some people did.

So who would be in their right mind?

The Thai media did report it when foreigners died violently as a result of the PAD blockade of the airport when they tried to escape Thailand overland to Malaysia. They are not always anti-Red.

And we Americans were the thugs when we dumped the tea in the harbor, wrote a (The) Deceleration of Independence and forced The British Empire from our shores. I'm not Thai and I'm not siding with anyone as it's not really my concern or business I am simply stating the facts not my opinions as I really don't have an opinion other than these people want an uncorrupted election, freedom and democracy something as an American I can relate to.

The evidence that the kid was in need of medical attention being that it said so in a clearly biased newspaper article.

Indeed, they weren't always anti-red. In Thaksin's hayday, they loved him.

There's not much sincerity in complaining about journalistic standards and media bias if you are only going to do it when the bias swings against your viewpoint.

This reminds me of Jatuporn when he accused Abhisit of not being in the car that red protesters attacked last year. Abhisit replied that he was in the car but what difference did it make because the reds that attacked the car did so thinking he was in it.

Likewise, in this case, it doesn't matter whether you want to accuse the mother and the press of lying, as far as the red shirts who blocked her car knew, she had a kid who needed to get to hospital, and they still stopped her.

That's what I'm saying. How do we know the kid had to go to hospital? Because it says so in a story using emotive language. There may well have been nothing wrong and they were just going shopping.

If safety were a concern, why are none of the people in the truck wearing selt belts?

The current foreign minister of Thailand was the head of the yellow mob that shut down the airport. I also find it amazing how quickly they caught the man who thew shit on the prime minsters house but of the 100 bombs that went off over the last month they haven't caught anyone nor do they have any suspects, I guess that just goes to show who is planting them and I hope I don't have to spell it out.

As i already said, it is academic. Unless the reds that were stopping her were 100% certain at the time that it was a hoax and the kid was perfectly OK (which i think would be impossible for them to know) then they shouldn't have got in her way.

Police not catching suspects in Thailand is hardly a new thing and is more likely to do with incompetence than conspiracy.

An American reporter was killed today and it wasn't by the red shirts.

Another drunk driver?

[idrankwhat]

Correction the reporter is not dead just shot, one of the red shirts is dead from a gun shot wound .223 caliber to be exact.

[sbk]

Please inform webfact of any breaking news so he can check on it. cheers

but until then we have multiple threads running on various news items so why you needed to post this in this particular thread I am unsure.

[LuckyFive8888]

fake reds?

How do we know there was any question that the kid needed hospitalisation at the time and that it's not just the journalist adding spin to the story? The way the story is written, it's like they've spotted an argument so have wrapped their own story around it which some seem to take at face value.

[ilyelol]

this was proven during the bush election and the middle farmer states

Reds not caring for other Thais?

Haven't the Yellow shirts already said that people from Esaarn are too stupid and uneducated to be given a vote? Don't they want 70% of government seats to be given to nominees of the professions?

Seems the accusation can be leveled at themselves.

Have talked top many red shirt supporters. Most don't give a toss about Thaksin. They are sick of being second class citizens whereby there is one rule for the elite and another for ordinary people.
