PM Abhisit Wants Case Against Yellow Shirts Dealt With Promptly

[yesdavy]

As all of us know, the last person you can trust is Abisith.

When he lies like this (the Yellow will NOT be prosecuted), I always wonder if he is candid (he would like to wish that maybe something could be done but eventually it's impossible) or cynical (he intends to fool the Thai population).

You may find your answer by Googling body language excessive blinking and see what you get.

ah ah announced just before the first Red shirts finish their sentences.

They just filed charges against them yesterday for 2007. They haven't even been tried yet, let alone, finish their sentences.

Exactly what was their crime in 2007?

and why wait until now to file charges? is it a politicly motivated?

Did they take over Government house for 6 months or 4 international airports?

If Thai justice was quicker, maybe these guys would have either been in jail...or on some sort of strict probation...instead of causing problems a few months ago?

As far as being fair and prosecuting the yellows for the airport hijacking....looks like we have another year or so to go for them!

- Excessive blinking

--> showing romantic interest (if their pupil is dilated)

--> sign of stress

--> could be lying

You don't think that maybe he might be a bit stressed?

Until the right judgements (not just a slap on the wrist) are made against the yellows, there is no possibility of the reds accepting their rightful punishments too.

The days of supposedly morally right uncivil protest have to to stop, or there will be no way to keep the good/bad ship Thailand on anything approaching a straight course. The yellows were permitted to set a terrible precedent that has been followed and increased upon by the reds.

Actually it was the Reds that set the precedent the year before the Yellows. Hundreds injured in a major riot and the Reds have until now not been held accountable. Three years and counting for them. The airports were a year and a half ago.

Until the right judgements (not just a slap on the wrist) are made against the Reds, there's no possibility of the yellows accepting their rightful punishments, too.

When was this red riot 3 years ago?

Either way. They all need to get their correct punishments. The idea that the justice system should be swift and timely as a right is sadly lost in Thailand.

Well, let's hope the Thai justice system is faster than this one...which seemed to run for about 15 years! And nobody was killed!

No as a politician especially a Thai one I think 'could be lying' is more likely....

I think "dealt with" is a euphemism for dismissed.

If I were a betting person I would take bets that no charges will be made against any yellow shirt in the name of reconciliation.

Why not trust Khun Abhisit? After all he is the most honest PM Thailand has ever had.

[b]National Police chief General Patheep Tanprasert had given an assurance to speed up the cases, he said, noting that Patheep would soon decide[/b] on whether to lay terrorism charges against leaders of the People's Alliance for Democracy over the seizure of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports in 2008.

It seems to be that there is most of the problem right there.

How the hel_l do people keep highly critical positions when a few years later "he will soon decide".

If I was PM Pinnochio this so called cop's arse would be the first I would have.

No, he's just an unconvincing liar, which is actually a good trait that will disappoint many of the propagandists on TV, but will probably serve him well in the long-term. He also coughs a lot when he's lying:

Not a bad get-out down the line: 'I was obviously lying: People far more powerful than me at the time were holding the strings; I was just doing my best'

"As all of us know" - after this nonsensical opening what follows has all the credibility of an assertion by a 10 year old.  All of us know no such thing. We have opinions which may, probably do, vary from a true assessment of any given situation.  Such opinions are practically worthless since they are not based on all the true and relevant facts, which are not available to us, i.e. our ramblings are not much better than gropes in the dark. 

Are you giving us the benefit of a far greater fund of knowledge than ours and telling us that there are 65 million or so other Thais that are more trustworthy than Mark? I suggest that while he may not be perfect, after viewing the alternatives,  there is no other credible option, and  he should receive not only our support (which in reality amounts to a lot of hot air) but that of the majority of the Thai peoples.  Do you not see that he is in between a rock and a hard place? That he does not have the makings of a despot or have tendencies to riding roughshod over over the aspirations of others? He is facing down the mainly ignorant and exploited proletarian supporters of an avaricious, ruthless, murderous, power hungry thief while at his back is the Establishment whose qualities and predelictions are very similar.  

I believe that publicly labelling Abhisit as a liar leaves yourself open to civil and criminal charges of defamation which in Thaksin's tenure of power could well lead to significant changes in your lifestyle. I accept that in writing this I have put myself in a similar situation but trust that Thaksin is too busy acquiring passports and citizenships of minor countries, or counting his illgotten funds, to direct one of his minions to take a revengful action.

So it proves conclusively that the idea that being a Pooyai putting you in some way morally above the law causes no end of problem. Ironically in this protest most of the people wore yellow, hence me not quite putting the DAAD and the yellows together. It can sometimes be more confusing than the soccer transfer window who is actually playing for who.

The system is essentially protecting these people from them paying for their wrongdoing, and you wonder why over time they become emboldened?

On one side the reds, the others the yellows, and the chaos has been going on for ages.

When was the first major PAD/Sondhi protest?
