Red Shirt Jatuporn Jailed For Terrorism Endorsed As MP

[bangkockney]

Exactly, being held on remand is not the same thing as jailed for terrorism.

Sensationalist headlines like this do nothing but fan the flames.

He was never jailed for terrorism?

The terrorism case has not been heard yet. He was jailed for breaching his bail conditions relating to the terrorism charge.

That might be a "Thaivisa" headline. But we love flames here, don't worry

Amazing Thailand indeed ... but then, to be honest, I didn't expect otherwise.

Only the "Tourism Authority of Thailand" is continuously surprised on

"why so many criminals are attracted to Thailand"!

And by the way, the 'mastermind of the convicted suspected criminals / terrorists' (oh well, but then in his case, actually really convicted! ) has yet to be endorsed as a MP ... or well, I would guess ... be given a much higher position in government!

Maybe Jatuporn will become the minister of the "Tourism Terrorism Authority of Thailand".

Nice BIASED Headlines. I wonder if anyone checked the archives for news flashes and see if a headline about 2 years ago might say something like ... "MP Apisit Lost Election, Now Presiding as Thai PM Through His Networks & Nepotism"

You speak of nepotism when the new government PM is the ex-PM's sister? Get a life.

555 - well put!

Not unexpected, it wouldn't have been physically safe for them to vote any other way

Quite right sharing opinion, but then you take it a stage further and declare it as a majority (very small indeed on the forum) opinion, Maybe you got your poll wrong

Don't need to do a poll - it is obvious that more posters see this as a bad thing for Thailand's democracy than those trying to defend it!!!

[hbullinger]

Will Jatuporn be collected from and returned to prison for every session of parliament and will this happen in a chauffeur driven limousine or in a prison van?

Will the war on terror never reach Thailand?

[Schauerte]

wow . . . this is just more than real fiction !

this is really red, stay tuned ! amazing Thailand !

Happens in South Africa as well.

[tragickingdom]

Nothing strange here. Kasit also wanted on terrorism charges became Foreign Minister.

[khaowong1]

What a country....

[REM]

Is it really that amazing??? The sister of a terrorist and thief got elected as PM, and they don't hide how they scoff the law. Remember, birds of a feather flock together....

Osama Bin Laden could have been an MP in thailand if he greased a few palms

[sausageandmash]

Ok, please enlighten us as to which convicted criminal was pardoned and endorsed as an MP in Britain, US, Australia, Canada or New Zealand?

We're waiting!

Why not? Why so many slamming Thailand over this? It's not like our home countries haven't allowed evil people to run things.

[bangkockney]

Nick Griffin has past convictions and is an MEP.

Pretty much all the top Shin Fein boys: Kelly, McCann, Maskey, Lynch, Chulin, Anderson......many more. Need I go on?

Not at all! Its only the hardcore TV elite-loving posters only who see it as so bad for democracy!

The rest of us think its normal Thai politics, and many think that anything will be better than the

Previous military sponsored government

[animatic]

Well the real point is, does hes NOW instated MP Immunity,

put a stop to existing and commenced Trials for Terrorism

and get him sprung from jail, using his MP status as collateral?

This is a different bunch of legal authorities to intimidate,

the EC remembering Arismans invasion of their offices bassed the buck.

Though the will also let the committee dawdle over his party membership.

They only stay in with tacit military sponsorship.

Get a life, it's the same thing, the army just saying

'stop the violence' and we give you another shot,

but don't go after us or the deals off.

No doubt the depth of silent sentiment against this turn of events

is MUCH higher than those that post actively,

and dwarfs the attempts to make it appear other wise.

[Babcock]

Believe it or not but Thailand's photo of the year awards 2009, presided over by abhisit himself, was awarded to a still taken at the end of the event shown in the .flv attached video file.

Caption read something like Ding Dang resident, fed up with redshirts, vents his his anger with a woman redshirt kneeling at his feet. Camera bag was removed from photo.

Has anyone got the photo? I have it somewhere.

This was propoganda Goebels would have been proud of.

No upload!

PLEASE....YOU NEED TO MAKE SOME INTELLIGENT DISTINCTIONS WHEN SAYING THAT.

a man in prison is elected an MP - that is really the way to impress the rest of the world and to ensure true justice for its citizens (the poor ones ) ???????

Perhaps a page is being taken from the rest of the world?

Northern Ireland and South Africa are just two places from 'the rest of the world' that spring quickly to mind where an interred 'terrorist' has ended up as MP, even president

I'm sure historically minded TV members will add to this list.

Could it be that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter?

[letitbe]

Amazing Thailand - Never stops to amaze me!

+1 well im just really glad weve got 40% + of our money out already whatever outcome With this sort of person as an MP do we really wont our money here I think not wait and see all you Taksin supporters Zimbabwe and rest here we come. Have to laugh not surprising him as MP and his master as PM soon

Hey DP,I do hope you are not suggesting that they OK'd him out of fear,they just do not do things like that here in Thailand Do they??

[letitbe]

nor was saddam or mugabwie i think enjoy your new leaders here if you even live here Youll see in time but in meantime my assets are going fast from here after 15 years at least i can get out in great profit

Hi Animatic , would you agree that the EC is now an ineffectual toothless tiger after this little stunt?

[whybother]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Kasit isn't actually charged with terrorism, is he, and he became FM before he was charged with anything relating to the airport protests.

Really? Let's start at the top. Google 'George Bush war crimes'. Tony Blair was his cohort on this. Bubba and klan weren't convicted of anything, but they should have been, thus making it worse. Their power kept them safe.

George and Tony weren't and are still not convicted criminals.
