Bid To Oust Amendment Supporters

[tlansford]

PPT quoted a source (one of the organizers?) as stating 1000 people attended.

“1,000 supporters of the Siam Samakkhi group, led by appointed senator Somjet Boonthanom, packed out Lumpini Hall in Lumpini Park yesterday to protest against the constitution amendment.”

They go on to point out that Somjet, currently an appointed senator, was one of the generals involved in the planning & execution of the 2006 coup and the junta.

While they do not support violence, tolerance has its limits, the panel members said.

In other words, "ignore the first half of my sentence, we really do support violence".

As Whybother said, there clearly exists a lot of morons [on both sides].

Anything that keeps what they are doing in the public eye front and center is a public service. If it goes behind closed doors unobserved there will be hell to pay for all in the long run.

Group thanks pair who attacked Nitirat member

The panel members started their talk by jokingly thanking the twins arrested on Thursday over Wednesday's assault on Worajet Pakeerat, a member of the Nitirat group, which has campaigned in support of changes to the lese majeste law. While they do not support violence, tolerance has its limits, the panel members said.

Yes, tolerance has its limits.

I'm interested to know what the posters who support these people have to say.

A group of charter-change opponents yesterday launched a campaign seeking the impeachment of parliamentarians who voted in support of recent legislation that would facilitate the amendment of the 2007 Constitution.

... of violating the spirit and intention of the Constitution

What? Idiots.

Not that I support "these people".

Actually, regarding this Lumpini Park get-together, I have discovered it was just a free concert.

They trucked people up from the South, had a good time dancing and singing, and went home.

It was free.

What is that French word again?....Touche'

Well, if the red shirts can have free concerts, trucking people in from other areas, what's wrong with the yellow shirts doing it?

Spoken by some of the most intolerant people on earth!

What's that colourful term for this kind of people? Dip****s, isn't it?

Having said that it would be better to change the party dissolution laws for much harsher individual punishments for those that commit electoral fraud. Obviously five year bans are not a deterrent when they can shoe in their next of kin as a proxy. Mandatory, thoroughly enforced prison sentences, crippling fines and permanent banning from politics would be a good start.

And that goes for both sides of the political divide!
