Chulalongkorn Hospital Evacuated After Stormed By Red-Shirts

[Tigs]

Comparison of what the yellows did and got away with so therefore it's not fair to the reds are both juvenile and pointless. It was a different Government and a different negotiating team. The red leaders have a good idea that most of them are up to their necks in the sh*t with little chance of a way out. So lets forget the airport fiasco eh!

Do we all mean that Arisman said he would turn himself in on May 1 and made that statement on April 1? We need some journo's to hound him on that one and we also need some judges with kuhoona's who will refuse to grant bail to these reprobates on the grounds that they are a danger to society.

No --- April 1st was when he was going to turn himself in.

I just wonder, how Thai People will feel today, (most of whom are devout buddhists), when they turn on their TV and see their Supreme Patriarch, who is more than 90 years old, being moved from the hospital today? The same hospital, that was invaded by over 100 Red demonstrators before. The same hospital, that has to put up with all the noise and commotion, of the Red demostrators outside, day after day, night after night.

Before some of you Red Apologists start shouting about Government Propaganda, think first... what if it was your father, your grandfather or your daughter, in that hospital... Right next to a demostration, that has turned violent on several occations. Wouldn't you be concerned for him or her? Wouldn't you move him or her, if you safely could do so and could afford to do so?

I could think of all kinds of scenarious, that could seriously endanger the patients in that hospital, as a direct or indirect result of the demonstrations.

Regardless if planned by them, or as a result of loss of control, by the Red leaders...this needs to stop. Invading a hospital is going too far.

Attacking 1st Regiment and Thaicom was going 'too far' .... raiding hospitals is just barbaric.

PM to convene special Cabinet meeting Sunday

Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban said Saturday that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will convene a special Cabinet meeting Sunday.

THE NATION: Princess is reportedly going unofficially. She also expressed her oncern on other patients. http://bit.ly/8YrGEP via Nation Chanel

This was connected with the post about tomorrow's cabinet meeting, is it implying she is going to that, or is it referring to her trip to the hospital? Care to clarify?

[Humungus]

The whole blood curse ritual fiasco, and stealing the corpses now those were barbaric. Invading a hospital, we might need a new word for what kind of low that is.

I believe that it was referring to her visit to Chulalongkorn Hospital --- She is heavily involved with the Red Cross and Chula is a Red Cross hospital.

edit --- due to the way it is posted in the closed rally thread I am unsure of the meaning 100%

I'd like to hear the reaction to the Human Rights Commission statement from the redshirt leaders - Jaran D in particular since he used to be part of the HRC.

How sorry are the redshirts about the hospital raid? Sorry enough to apologise, repeatedly, and remove their barricades.

Not sorry enough to keep the barricades down, or to refrain from trying to justify why they had to go into the hospital. Not sorry enough to hand over those leaders responsible. Maybe not sorry actually.....

And apparently the hospital was empty of in-patients anyway, and we only imagined that we were watching their transfer.

Looks like the hospital staff are giving a press conference tomorrow, Reds haven't seen the end of this scandal.

As for the searching of a UDD leader Suporn Atthawong's room by the officials from the Department of Special Investigation, and found bomb triggers, bullets and documents, Mr Jatuporn said Mr Suporn had affirmed that there was never be any armed in his room.

Therefore, he was not sure that it was set up by the authorities or not as the searching was carried while Mr Suporn was not present. The DSI raided Mr Suporn's room to arrest him as he was earlier issued an arrest warrant. (TNA)

No, it'll become a moot point as soon as some one else protests, or in a couple of years whichever comes sooner.

[kratiam]

A free press would ask "Was it necesary to evacuate?" The hospital search was an absolute disgrace, but is evacuating a hospital for PR gains any better?

Absolute moon!

'Chula is opening again now. Sister in Law was evacuated to Rama hospital and phoned a few minutes ago to say she has been told she is going back to Chula hospital on Sunday.

Don't count on it unless the Reds retreat/are driven back to Sarasin Rd.

Thailand red-shirt protesters storm Bangkok hospital

Patients at the Chulalongkorn hospital had to be moved out

Patients have been evacuated from a hospital in the Thai capital, Bangkok, after anti-government demonstrators forced their way into the grounds.

The red-shirts, looking for soldiers they thought were hiding there, later apologised for the incident.

In a TV address, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has said he will not tolerate further violence by the reds, but gave no indication of any planned action.

Nope. Absolute sense. One side behaving appallingly followed by the other side behaving appallingly. What none of them seem to realise is that, due to modern technology, they are doing this sh1t in a media glare 1000x, nay, 1,000000 brighter than a few years ago.

With all the military on the street it would be a good time to revise the police's employment contract. Am sure they would all jump at the chance to sign a contract which states their salaries will be doubled (they are really under paid) and that any police officer or commander disobeying lawful order will be immediately suspended until the charge can be proven and then fired.

[Humungus]

After the April 10 clashes red protesters barged into another hospital and stole the corpses of two of the individuals killed on that day. They took them put them in coffins and drove around the streets of Bangkok.

Even if the evacuation of the hospital was in part politically motivated and done for public relations purposes, not to say that it was, I don't think the reds have any grounds to complain. It is certainly no more theatrical than their mock funeral which made a spectacle of those who died.

If the reds want to wage a war for public opinion the other side is justified to fight back. The reds have certainly given enough ammo to help the government win the war for the hearts and minds of the people.

Are the police under paid, or are they paid under the table? Yes they are underpaid which encourages them to supplement their income.

I for one thought at the time that the takeover of the airport and Got buildings by the yellows was terrible but the leaders have now been charged and await their day in court. But that is behind us now and to try to use it as some sort of justification for what the reds are doing now is just stupidity.

We see: the yellows did, the yellows did, continuously as if what happened in the past can somehow excuse what we are seeing today. The Got is not dealing with the yellows invasions of the past or Pol Pot or Hitler it is dealing with the reds today and the way they are dealing with it seems now to be working with 2 defeats and PR disaster last week and yesterday infighting among the leaders.

Seems to me it is only a matter of a short time before the first of the brave leaders makes a run for it, but who will be the first. My money’s on Big Mac he has already shown he has the potential, then a week or so after the first defection only Sae deang and his band of brothers will be left to defend the cause. Soon after that we will see how many of his followers really want to be in a box alongside their glorious leader.

Moving the patients out was the correct thing and probably should have been done sooner, consider if the tyre barrier were to catch fire how do you think the smoke would affect the hospital patients, come to think of it, it would probably kill half those hiding behind it.

On a lighter note; as the reds have been in the habit of producing videos to show “we didn’t do it” I wonder when the video of them not invading the hospital and getting shot at by the soldiers they didn’t find there will come out? Could take a bit of editing that one.
