Armoured Vehicles, Army Live Bullets Will Be Used To Surround Red-Shirts From 6pm

>> The Center for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) has ordered officers to go to the rescue of a company of soldiers, trapped inside the Suan Lum Night Bazaar, by red-shirt protesters.

This is pathetic.

It's like an old John Candy movie. Hey - maybe that's what it is- they're just filming it all as part of a new Teng or Kohtee comedy?

Why also Abhisit needed to cancell his proposal for election on 14 November ? Does he look serious ?

Abhisit won't last until November. This is too bad because he is competent and capable .... but he isn't corrupt and devious enough to last in Thai politics. He needs to have a few illegally obtained plots of land and a few shady fire truck or airplane or aircraft carrier purchase deals under his belt before the police and military will respect him ...

Yeah then him and Thaksin will be roommates in (insert economically desperate country here)

Well, on the serious side he pulled back on his offer because the red shirts didn't give him an answer. The army is making him, the whole government and Thailand look ridiculous on the world stage. On the other hand, they are making the Italian WWII forces look good!

shame you know nothing about world war two as well as thailand!

same reason for both sets of troops is THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIGHT FOR A DESPOTIC ELITE! when you understand that you move forward a bit.

It is Elite power brokers at top that look ridiculous and everybody waiting for them to fall.

google "mussolini lampost" if you dont think out and out tyrants cannot be got rid of.

Seh Daeng under police's detention at Vajira Hospital

Officers from the Thung Mahamek police station used an arrest warrant to put Maj Gen Khattiya Sawasdiphol under police detention at the Vajira Hospital.

He was arrested on charges of terrorism.

They guy runs around causing havoc and death. Once he's basically a vegetable, they arrest him? What a joke.

Well, this is one red leader that won't be jumping bail anytime soon.

BREAKING: Red-shirts Retaliate by Torching Bus UPDATE : 14 May 2010 The red-shirt group has retaliated against officers by torching a bus of the National Police Office on Wireless Road and firing homemade rockets at soldiers.

Torching buses Songkran 2009 got the army very upset, I seem to remember. Is Anupong finally going to let the dog of the leash? I assume he's just waiting for some nice pictures to justify to the Int'l media.

[Who, me ?]

Reds retaliate by torching a bus......a police bus !

Now that's really amazing.....

So many security forces all around, and these guys do whatever they want (trap soldiers, turn cars over, torch bus, take army vehicles over, etc.....)

Veera and Nattuwong accepted the PM proposal as far as I know.

Lots of division in the red camp .

So by cancelling his proposal the PM plaid in the hand of the red hardliners (the thugs)

The early election proposal was the quid pro quo for the rally dissolution. The Red Shirts reneged on the rally dissolution and have instead decided to "fight to the death". Over what is anyone's guess. Mine being an overthrow of the government and installation of a despotic regime, Red Sirt style.

TAN Network: Reports indicate that Jatuporn and Arisman are the only remaining leaders who won't surrender

Only 2 holdouts and they are still there??? What kind of democracy are they running?

Oh, wait ... the kind where unelected leaders lead lambs to a slaughter while they work out deals to save their own behinds. The kind where they never ask their lambs for their opinions and only tell them what to do ... such as fight soldiers with your bare hands as we hide out from them.

The other leaders got paid to leave.

He is sure proving that Machiavelli was right. Reminds me of Jimmy Carter - too decent and yes, indecisive to be president. NYC had a mayor like that - Dinkins was his name. A real nice guy, but couldn't run the city of NY. Like Carter he was a one-termer. Decency does not seem to make for effective politicians.

Theoretically, but that assumes the Army are prepared to play, too. A point that even now still remains in doubt.

Bottom line: The reds (as a group) rejected the offer, so the offer was rescinded.

The offer can't stay on the table just because a couple of the leaders agreed with it. One of the conditions of the offer was for the protests to finish. Given they are still continuing, it's clear that the offer wasn't accepted.

A few bullets would calm them down. Unbelievable that those guys can openly fire at Army, Police in Bangkok. Rule and Order are not existing anymore here.

Yes but since when a governement in a democracy needs the army to remain in power .

Granted Thailand is not yet a democracy , though some try very hard , and i would say

Abhisit one of them

Reds' guards given beverage laced with sedative Thursday night

Reds's security staffs guarding Langsuan area were given beverage possibly laced with sedative on Thursday night, an informed source Friday.

After drinking for a while, some guards fell asleep while some others appeared to be unconscious.

They were then taken to a hospital nearby.

The incident was believed to be the army's ploy to weaken the red shirts protesters.

looks more like a fascist gov every day with media off, AIS and DTAC off (they going to be get a big pay back for that) police on bike look like Iranian Bajis.

So you want the army and police to step down, so the thugs can rule the country?

The army and police keep every democratic country from falling into lawlessness.

It's just in most democratic countries, you don't have armed militias roaming the streets.

Lighten up a bit - so sorry I offended anyone's sensibilities. But yeah, real tough folks to string up an old man and his wife (!) after all the fighting was over. Anyway, just because most of your beloved red leaders are now running for their mommies doesn't mean you have to get so upset.

You really think any "elite power brokers" are going to fall no matter what happens here? You're the one who knows nothing about Thailand.

Latest reports show the unelected red leaders were all in favor of ending the illegal violent protest except for two of them. This very undemocratic group doesn't even not follow majority rule within the leadership but never once has asked their soon to be slaughtered lambs what they want nor do they ever inform them of facts ... they simply tell them what they have to and what further's red leaders goal which is paid for and dictated by Thaksin.

Edit: In fact S.D. even said before being shot that there were only two leaders wanting to fight on ... actually have their lambs fight on while they hide out.

Agree but :

That is dangerous as it just gives fuel to the extremists in the red camp .

Even Veera can not do anything and i dont see Abhisit in such an

overwhelming position of force .

Tear Gas Fired At Thai Red Shirt Protesters

Troops advanced on dozens of Red Shirts who had set up a checkpoint outside a night market in the capital.

The protesters had gathered outside the Suan Lum market to stop soldiers from advancing towards their main camp in central Bangkok.

There are also reports military vehicles have been set on fire as the trouble escalates again.

Abhisit and ANupong have tried to avoid bloodshed.

That doesn't help the reds, so they have pushed and provoked the army at every point to get the army to respond.

As soon as the army respond, the reds come out screaming how blood thirsty the army and Abhisit is.
