Thailand Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Do you think the death penalty can be used for most of the red shirt leaders? Just dig a ditch, throw them all in, and bury them alive. That or throw them out of a helicopter over the ocean.... It would not surprise me to see some of them in government positions within a couple of years, not exactly a precedent. Happened in quite few countries. Those that stood and advocated the burning, they most definitely need to be put away for a very long time if not the ultimate penalty.

Netfan Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 The attempted coup's "grass roots" support (if it ever existed) is clearly not evident now. There are no masses uprising in the provinces, not even in Thaksins home province. This is such a critical point. What should be added is that throughout the reds occupation of Bangkok, not one neighbourhood and not one workers' group came out and joined them. The reds are an enemy of the working class. The red apologists are clearly deluding themselves as to their support. Maybe not a whole neighborhood but many locals joined them as their numbers increased each lunch time and evening. Of course they might just have been there for the entertainment I just hope they can get on with it. They alll have red hearts and are all Thai's After this past 2 months i am sure this goverment and the next one will add reform that will benifit the Reds up in Essan. They already had. Free education program, improving 30 baht health scheme, trying to get rid of middle-man rice scam, social security, debt forgiveness for farmers. More than Thaksin ever did.

iciparis Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 So how many people have actually been detained after all this? I see hundreds going home on buses but very few of the "terrorists" being apprehended. was wednesday night at payathai police station, and several people were brought in, some of them Burmese and cambodian nationals. didn't get if they were arrested for looting or other matters, but police was not friendly with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokibob Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 why are they even letting anyone go home? they were all part of a illegal protest, they defied the orders to leave, they helped create the situation there is today, hence they should all be going to jail, not home. Does government has money to feed those protesters when they go to prison?? if they cant then they would be called genocide to let those protesters die by not providing basis needs..Even in california now state prison has to let free some prisoners as the state was going to bankcrupt...

Robby nz Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) Its like this in this forum Thais who kill other thais in a temple cannot be good people , sorry to say Well Pornsasi you have just posted an assumption that the Govt killed the people in the temple,(and now you have said it I dont support murderers from army shooting dead civilians in a temple). this has not been determined so lets look at what we know so far:Dont know if you watch Thai TV but if you did you would know by now that those 7 (yes 7, 1 was taken to hospital and died there) killed in the temple were all red cross workers clearly identified by red cross insignia. They were all shot either in the head or chest, clearly carfully aimed shots meant to kill not random fire from troops outside. So we could reasonably make an assumption that it was a sniper who targeted them on purpose.. We know the army employed snipers but we also know they there are other snipers who have been targeting the Army, ambulance workers, firemen and others. The army have been very carefull to keep casultys to a minimum (you will argue this but it is true) so why would an army sniper deliberatly target red cross workers inside a temple helping those who have gone there for shelter? What would the army or Govt have to gain from such an act? On the other hand We have the other snipers who have already shot an ambulance man and at firemen and although they know it is over are still trying to cause as much trouble as possible and could possibly see this as an opportunity to try to make the Govt look bad. So who is more likely to have pulled the trigger on those trying to help? I agree Thais who kill other thais in cannot be good people specially those who throw bombs and grenades and much worse are those who incite others to carry out these random acts.

GarryP Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Do you think the death penalty can be used for most of the red shirt leaders? Just dig a ditch, throw them all in, and bury them alive. That or throw them out of a helicopter over the ocean.... that is a stupid comment tominbkk. i live in a small village in ubon, where the people are mostly reds although only 2 went to bkk and returned after 3 days back in april. but the problems the people here have been brainwashed by thaksins populist policies and that is REAL...so what does this mean? it means alot of the reds are normal people who are generally from the country and are simple people(no offense). so you cant just say kill the leaders or these simpletons (paid by thakin etc) will be told to fight for the cause again and again... also thailand is very corrupt even in a small village of 250 people there are vote buying schemes. my wife told me she got 500 baht for voting! so people here think its normal to except money to follow like the poor sheep they are... peace to thailand...the poor/rural people desevre more, there are REAL poor people in this country That's exactly the point and I am wondering why this fact is noit dicussed more! Everone who knows poeple form such villages is fully aware of the payments they get for each vote. Even on the local vollage level. As long as this is going on any democracy will fail misarably. So let me get this straight, they like the populist policies because they get money, they voted for TRT and its reincarnations after selling their votes for money, and they have the nerve to come to Bangkok to protest the loss/lack of democracy (and in many cases paid money for doing so). Something stinks. If you sold your vote to begin with you have nothing to protest. That in itself would have reduced the protesters numbers by about half, I would guess. Yes, many people in the countryside are poor and have quite hard lives but they need to understand that selling their vote will only put a few meals on the table. It is a real pity that so many of them are so easily mislead (due to lack of education? gullible) and become pawns to people who really couldn't give a shit anyway. I think the bottom line must be education as without it Thailand will never really develop its full potential, which would benefit rich and poor alike, red, yellow, green, blue, whatever. Simplistic, certainly, but valid I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snipers from army , who else ? Are you saying it was reds who shot them ? You cant be serious . As for your sentence , yes army has been careful so much so that they even shot innocent journalists . From what i heard in BBC and CNN ,the army was shooting randomly . And finally look at the fatal casualties among the reds and compare to those among the army , that should give you a clue .

The demagogue and the red leaders themselves have said bloodshed would help their case as martyrs, as a case in their defense. the more martyrs the merrier for them, to bring their case to international courts, or the UN. Only that back fired too. They did use overwhelming force. Didn't you see the videos of the massive forces on April 10/11 that was used, only for red shirts to storm loot and then destroy all the army's trucks, and injured scores of troops. Little sympathy for starting a fire and bringing about hel_l and terror, then putting on fake monk's clothes and playing the role of innocent.

selftaopath Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 So how many people have actually been detained after all this? I see hundreds going home on buses but very few of the "terrorists" being apprehended. For a few minutes I watched local TV. I was appalled. These rioters were politely escorted to waiting bus', which were not overcrowded as the general population must endure daily. They waved "by by" hug hug, see you next time, smile smile, wave wave. I still can't believe it. Were they identified before escorted to the bus? The sight was sickening. And now the BIB are chasing after the ones that "escaped." How could they escape if the rioters locations were surrounded????? Another pathetic display of inefficiency IMO. Oh my achin back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried that on May 10th until grenades and bullets coming from the red shirt side started to kill and injure soldiers. You know the evidence is incontrovertible, there is an armed faction of the red shirt movement that doesn't have qualms on shooting people, security forces and civilians alike.
