Rowdy Rally Forces Thaksin To Cancel Meeting In Los Angeles

[animatic]

Hope his disappointed supporters get a full refund !

Why would they, he stiffs anyone once their usefulness is finished for him.

[animatic]

His appearance the day before in Las Vegas at the Church of Scientology, speaking to at least two to three rows worth of Red Shirt supporters.

.

Doesn't look like he can draw a solid 100 ole bidies for his photo op anywhere,

but draws 1,000 protestors to tell him to go away.

Here we have the yellow "rent a mob."

No reconciliation then.

There seems to be more support in LA than in Bangkok

It seems that way because he's in L.A., and not Bangkok.

Are the yellow shirts now causing problems in the U.S? What next a blockade of the Los Angeles Airport? I bet that if 2,000 Americans conducted themselves the same way in Thailand they would quickly be rounded up, thrown into jail and deported.

Most of those Thais protesting are American citizens. Also among the anti-Thaksin protesters are some obvious non-Thais. The USA isn't xenophobic like Thailand. It's a nation of immigrants. Also, in Thailand it is illegal for foreigners to participate in public political demonstrations. I would say that's another symptom of xenophobia, nothing to brag about.

There were a lot demonstrations from foreigner in Thailand and no one got arrested.....

Thaksin Shinawatra was forced to cancel a dinner and talk with red shirts on Sunday night in Thai Town Los Angeles after over 1000 protesters gather in front of Thailand Plaza Restaurant. The gathering was peaceful. According to Siam Town USA, Thaksin's supporters had to pay $200 ticket to have live dinner with Thaksin. There was no sign of Thaksin, instead of meeting Mr. Thaksin, the dinner guests got booed instead as they left the restaurant.

.

How much did that cost the American Tax Payer for Authorities to protect diners from this aggresive MOB? He must have the support of the U.S if they grant him a visa and provide tax payer funded security.

As the protest was verbal and not violent, the police presence from LAPD there was minimal. As there was no need for extra policemen or payment of overtime, I would imagine that it didn't cost the American taxpayers a penny over what is normally expended for the policemen on that shift. If anything additional was spent, it was most likely less than a single dinner reservation to hear Thaksin speak (or not speak, as it were).

How much for U.S. taxpayer? Not much, probably small money out of LAPD budget.

Aggressive MOB? I looked but couldn't find any pointed bamboo spears, slingshots, war weapons or petrol bombs.

Support of the United States Gov't? Unlikely. He's entitled to a visa if he meets U.S.Visa conditions. As for carrying on political rallies and disturbing the peace, let's see what the U.S. Gov't does after these incidents. Probably zilch, but I doubt he will be invited for coffee with Michelle & Barack.

Maybe you should listen more carefully. If you complain that the Bankster and Megacompanies buy the American politics and fight it, than you are actually pro American not anti. Anti American would be supporting that.

And when you look at Syria and Libya you know what they are able to do with peaceful countries.

The PAd now claim that Thaksin is at the head of a movement to topple the head of state and sell out the country. The CC found no evidence.

Sondhi used to claim that Thaksin wanted to remove ... , republicanism, privatise everything, bring in western democracy and then finally to turn Thailand into a communist regime.

Never showed any supporting evidence but by then the damage had been done.

The so called "Finland Accord."

The yellows.

They're citizens of the world's greatest democracy prrotesting against democracy in their home country. Supporters of the coup that ousted its own prime minister.

In Bangkok it's only a taxi ride to get to the demonstration for the yellows unless they are going up country to fight and shoot up the local people over derelict hindhu temples.

Here they're flying in from all points. Hiso's and their maids I guess. No Pad guard I warrant.

They or Abhisit and his party call it an elective dictatorship in Thailand but they themselves, as preservers of the status quo, refuse to reach out to the majority population of Thailand to offer a serious alternative instead they witter on about a supposed "golden past" where everyone knew their place.

They are antideluvian and they are not open to any reasoning.

If Thaksin didn't exist they would have to reinvent him you know "Danger at the door." Last refuge of scoundrels and all that.

Thaksin has sold his own sister and bargained with his sworn enemies to get what he wants. He has sold out Thailand and the Thai people to foriegn capitalist interests for the international support hes getting.

[Skywalker69]

No one would get away with a blockade of any Airport in the U.S. or any western country.

They would arrest them and throw them in Jail in a New York minute.

Yeah but they'd welcome choking the capital city for over a month and then starting to burn it down.

You nailed it.

Is it even legal for somebody touring the US on a tourist visa to be attending , as the major drawcard, what could be deemed to be politically motivated rallies like the one described in the OP ?

It seems he isn't there to visit the Grand Canyon and Disneyland like a toursit, but is instead there to create a public nuisance and rub certain Thai politicians, businessman and others faces in it. I know of at least one Western democracy closely aligned with the US that would not tolerate such activity by a tourist and would revoke the Toursit Visa and send the individual packing immediately.

Good point , he is accepting funds for dinners and the such. This would violate his tourist visa. Needs a work permit.

Those tactics were successfully used in Florida during the 2000 presidential debacle, where groups of Republican swarmed voting recount offices and shouted and pushed and shoved causing great disruption with the hidden or overt threat of violence.

I am sure that the Americans are well aware of every aspect of his visit and granted the visa accordingly. So when does he meet with the President at the Whitehouse? They appear to know his itinery and arranged security accordingly.

No, just a convenient place to seat the nearly 30 attendees as both the VFW Hall and the Elvis Wedding Chapel's meeting room were previously booked.

I'm a bit surprised though as he broke tradition in Las Vegas and did not hold his meeting at a third-rate borderline Thai food joint. For example, he could have held court at Ocha's diner there.

Interesting that the world at large is aware of the Thaksin crime syndication yet majority of Thai's can't see it...

Majority of Thais cannot see past the end of their nose. To them, democracy is the total sum of the piddling amount they get to buy their vote.

I don't normally comment on these threads as it does not do any good to help Thailand, it is a sad situation a country that has much to offer is being suffocated.

Your comments are so accurate, if Mr T is on a tourist visa, he should be escorted to the closest international airport and deported.

If TS wants to be politically active why not return to Thailand and see how he fairs.

Very ironic, that this man has a doctorate in criminal justice. May have helped him to evade the law for so long. If he was even half a man, he would return to Thailand, serve his two years in jail (if that), and return to public life, fully vindicated. No, instead this pussy chooses to live in exile, rather than face the piper. What a wimp. What a lightweight. What a lousy example for the Thai people. What a terrible example for the world to see.

If so, then that says good things about America ... and bad about present Thai govervment.
