Jerrytheyoung Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 In such a siuation othing is Black and white but more or less grey. There are obvious excesses from each side. But the initial stupid thing has been to stop the Red TV which is anti democratic. Only a judgment from Court should have permitted to do that. the second thing unacceptable is to engage the Army, which role is not "anti-riot operations but defending against external threats. Army must represent the Unity of a Country as such cannot be engage politically. In such a mob, there are always extremists, true that some Reds are certainly not clean in all that. But Army also, at the very begginning of operations, this afternoon, a journalist has received live bullet (Shot in Air???) So we should refrain to accuse only one side for what has happened and we should work to bring everybody to the table of negociation, not to drift to a deadful adventure...

pnustedt Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The "Reds" are parading bodies live on stage right now, pnustedt. Don't you think that's slightly indicative of their intentions? Are you suggesting that the "Reds" were looking for their comrades to be killed? If so your logic is most bizaare. You're new at this, aren't you? Just curious - are you being paid well? No, I'm not new to this. If you care to check my profile you will see that I am one of the longer running members of this forum. However, I do live with, and try to help, people in Thailand's poorest region and have great sympathy for their plight. No one is paying me to do anything except farming.

morphem Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The reds have been demonstrating peacefully for a few weeks now (as were the Tianamen demonstrators) with no serious violence. The reds didn't posses "lethal force". The army did and used them. The army was instructed to attack Thai citizens acting peacefully. It is a disgrace and unacceptable in even a third world country. Agree completely. It's just sad. This government of criminals and it's puppet masters needs to go. Yup, simple elections would have been the democratic peaceful solution. We all knew it. Abhisit, Prem and their despot bullies are just monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

way2muchcoffee Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yes, I would like to see the international media now take note that the red shirt movement is led by terrorists. For a while, the naive fools were buying the propaganda that this was a non-violent, pro-democracy, movement. It is time for the world leaders to take sides now, for the reasoned civilized government (which WAS elected legally and has scheduled future elections, just not on the forced timetable of the terrorists), and against red shirt terrorists fueled by radical Maoists. And let the media also remind the world that ALL it would take for this to stop is for there to be an election to get rid of this army installed government......not such a hard thing to do if people really want peace And let the media also remind the world that ALL it would have taken for this to never have happened would for the redshirts to have negotiated in good faith at the beginning instead of giving ultimatums, throwing blood, making public death threats and illegally closing down the central business district. There would have been no red shirt had the Abhisit governement been elected by the people rather then by prompted by dirty tricks in parliament or by a military coup before , our friend is right . There would have been no coup except for Thaksin - and the buck stops there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKjohn Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) There still seem to be some red supporters here - the soldiers are using rubber bullets - the red shirts use life ammo, petrol bombs and grenades = a bit of an uneven fight I would say - its high time those terrorist criminals are washed off the streets of Bangkok, back to where they came from Edited April 10, 2010 by BKjohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Television news reporting two army soldiers killed (shot) May they Rest in Peace, having done their duty faithfully, to protect their country, against domenstic enemies. Indeed. Brave soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in the fight against total lawlessness and domestic terrorism. Hoping the casualties are kept to as few as humanly possible on both sides. It is time for the disgraced red shirts to surrender and go home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timekeeper Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nobody (besides JingThing) really wants to see the Thai military (with its history) back of the street killing people. How dare you say that? I have NEVER said such a thing EVER and I never would. You have crossed a line there, mate, just like the red insurgent terrorists. I ask that you apologize for telling a lie like that. I doubt you will, but a false statement like that at least needed to be called out for what it is. You have continuously been making hateful statements. Then you can't suddenly act all outraged when you get called on it. Agreed ! Hey Jingthing do you still think your mate the PM is going to come out of this looking good...........I dont think the Japanese would agree with you tonight and you are so happy about the death of an innocent Japanese reporter to be able strike a blow at jing and to feed your sick ego its you who should be ashamed not jing anyway who knows which sides bullet killed him, what if it was a red bullet?

Jingthing Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 i am not talking about the uneducated 95 % farmers who don't even know what is going on there really sure they are just some just pawns happy to make some money they are there just to follow the small money sure and are the ones there receiving the 2000B per day for expenses no not them.... they are low paid peace loving folks I am sure who don't know better and think is is all a fun joke i am talking about the other 5% who are the paid mercenaries who are working for big pay checks and bonuses who are making the violent deeds there right now you guys act like your never see reality if u cant read between the lines what this story is about you really need to go back to first grade and learn the basics of thinking my feeling is...any farang who supports this vicious criminal should be removed immediately from this forum and country if possible I think I agree. Thaksin now has created his own end. By taking this last stand which he will lose, he has alienated any support outside Thailand. He is a hot potato who's world has yet again become smaller. No one will want this guy in their country. Welcome to the Idi Amin class Mr T. Cheers, Rick It is time for the major world leaders to speak out in support of PM Abhisit and against terrorism, anarchy in Thailand, as well as the villainous puppet master, Thaksin.

Jingthing Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Lot of unconfirmed rumors flying in Thai websites (according to my missus) about Thakin having cancer, and being in a Dubai hospital. Perhaps this might be a reason for the last stand mentality.If that is true, it is even more disgusting. Kind of like someone with a terminal disease who gets on a tower with a machine gun, because he has nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, for the sake of the country this needs to be finished now. If not, it will happen again year after year, the death will will be greater in the future if they back off now. Soldiers get paid to do their job, reds are there by their own undertaking. The dead young girls red family are to blame for her death, they should be shot themselves for bring a young child into the arena. Finish it once and for all, or this country is finished. Thaksin, shame on you - you should be tried, hung drawn and quartered for the death and destruction you have bought to your own country. You are pure evil. < expletive that begins with F> A.
