Red-Shirts Leader Seh Daeng Shot In The Head - Fighting For His Life In ICU - Video

[Rideau]

Regardless of your political views, a human being - unlike yourself - is suffering and may die.

Where is your compassion?

My compassion is reserved for the people this beast has maimed and killed. Have you ever read any of his loony interviews boasting about how many people he's killed?

Whoever took him out has probably just saved quite a few lives.

Right on.

[redparrot]

THE NATION: Nation Channel just quoted Metropolitan Police Command Police Gen Vorapong as reporting "Sen Daeng" had died.

THE NATION: Urgent: Nation Channel has announced correction, saying doctors still attempting to save Sen Daeng's life.

[dobadoy]

No, Thai Tv are right now saying he's still in critical in ICU, hasnt' woken up yet but not dead.

Low Caibre bullets to the head/chest. Could be an outside force. Perhaps Japanese...

I think the japanese left in 1945....................... True about the low calibre, probably 5.66mm. If the military were going to do it I'm sure they would have used an appropriate weapon and not a low calibre slug like this. New theory is that the Red leadership and the government agreed this would be a good solution.

I am guessing k1w1 was being a little tongue in cheek and referring to another head shot assassination over 60 years ago when the Japanese were blamed for it, and a couple of innocents were charged, executed and later declared innocent. As for your own "expert" assessment of the situation:

There is no such thing as a "low calibre" (or high calibre) weapon, only high or low velocity weapons and high or low calibre people. Weapon calibres are large or small (or heavy or light).

The only 5.66mm calibre cartridge is a highly specialised Soviet one. As it was designed exclusively for use underwater I can't see it being used here! I presume you mean 5.56mm, which is the standard NATO calibre, used in the majority of assault rifles world-wide (M16, SA80, TAR 21, etc), and which would be more than adequate.

Speculate all you want - just try to avoid bringing in the technical BS.

TAN Network: Bullet hit Seh Daeng from left temple through to righ temple

Ouch. He'll be brain-dead if he survives at all.

[redparrot]

No, Thai Tv are right now saying he's still in critical in ICU, hasnt' woken up yet but not dead.

With the bullet going through his head from one temple to the other, I don't think he will wake up.

It may have also saved some of the red leaders asses as well. Sae-Daeng had earlier today threatened to kill any red leader who opted to leave the movement. Nice guy that Sae-Daeng is/was. Compassion at its finest.

NYT report. VERY accurate shooting.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/14/world/as...ref=global-home

Note the irony of Seh Daeng's last words.

[LevelHead]

Disgusting some of the posts on here claiming how "good it is" for someone to be shot.

[sawadeeken]

I can't help but wonder what it was like getting him out of the protest site and to a hospital??????????? What with all of the barricades that he himself ordered, the resulting traffic mess, etc. Som-nam-na (your just reward)

YOU also believe in Santa Claus???

[mausplan]

Interesting turnaround , Seh Daeng , in the press tonight , seems to have gone from total looney to wounded hero in one instant. How quickly people forget he wanted to incite violence and fight to the death.

kind of improvement.

i doubt it very much.. its probaly made the situation a lot worse...

think about all the ppl who are loyal to him who are wanna get revenge

and these ppl are probaly not very nice ppl

Seh Daeng

Interview with Seh Daeng before he was shot

[Abrak]

His absence can only be a plus for Thailand.

I just do not see this point at all.

1) If it was Abhisit's responsibility it makes him look stupid.

2) If it was the Reds it was a desperate but effective away of regaining legitimacy

3) And if it was all for the idea of creating a coup it was a pretty smart move.

I do not see what good will come of it.

[timekeeper]

''Jatuporn told reds that the shooting of Seh Daeng is intended to threaten reds''

really? what a startling observation

there a good reason he is an MP..........

[redparrot]

He was rushed to hospital in an ambulance, with 2 police motorbikes escorting the ambulance.

[JohnLeech]

I would think many of the reds wanted to get rid of Thaksin's pet soldier. His assination would server the reds in two ways. Getting rid of Seh Daeng thereby making him a martyr while blaming Abhisit. Couldn't ask for a better propaganda win than that.

Shooting Thaksin would be a better one - especially under similar circumstances!

[REDRAM]

This PM will go down in history as a TRAITOR to the Thai people.

[lostpacket]

Here is the CNN video just after he was shot

CNN link

It looks like a head shot for sure

[dobadoy]

which is strangely coincindental that he got shot himself don't you think? Money on more '2nd gen' reds being 'given up' to CRES very soon, or more '1st gen' reds disappearing of the stage.

[monkfish]

Question is will Mr Abhisit have the balls to admit he ordered killing?

I doubt it bloody yellow skirt! yellow belly.

Probably try and fob it off on someone else.

[timekeeper]

jataporn is on stage now

now wheres a good sniper when you need one?

haha burn baby burn 1 down....

...not many left now!

[animatic]

This changes things. Lets hope that the more moderate leaders will be able to talk to Abhisit about the road map with out him threatening them.

Also lets hope it doesnt go the other way and his men in black don't go out looking for revenge.

Typo

He has always proved willing to talk, untill those across the table refused repeastedly.

I can't see him not continuing to talk with those acting in good faith.
