Red Shirts, Yellow Shirts clash on Darunee case

BANGKOK, Sept 24 – Activists from Thailand’s pro- and anti-government movements clashed today as some Yellow Shirts gathered at the headquarters of Police Crime Suppression Division to give moral support to a teacher accused of defaming prominent Red Shirt supporter Darunee Kritboonyalai.

Pro-government Red Shirts and rival Yellow Shirts supporters clashed at the Crime Suppression Division on Phahon Yothin Road in Bangkok today.

Supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD, Yellow Shirts) gathered there to show their moral support for Manasnant Nookam, a former teacher at an international school in Pathum Thani province after key Red Shirt (UDD, United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship) activist Darunee Kritboonyalai filed a defamation lawsuit against her.

Ms Darunee accused Ms Manasnant of reviling her loudly at an upscale Bangkok department store, blaming her for alleged slurs against royalty, an action which Ms Daranee said damaged her reputation.

Police summoned Ms Manasnant for questioning but she did not appear today but postponed her meeting with investigators to September 29.

As the PAD protesters left the police compound, they confronted a group of Red Shirts who followed the case outside the venue. Both sides pelted their rivals with salvos of rhetoric in a war of words, before the Yellow Shirts attacked a Red Shirt loudspeaker truck. One woman was injured in the skirmishes by both groups.

The protesters later dispersed after police commandos of the Crime Suppression Division intervened to control the situation. (MCOT online news)

This is never going to die down -

This is never going to die down -

dont worry, the stock market will still go up - contrary to all rational reasoning

The other paper reported that one group held up a sign of "We Love the King", while the other group had a sign of "We Love the Prince".

In another local paper I notice the sign above the red shirt truck says "red skills radio 96.35 MHz". Is this where the reds learn the skills of pouring blood on peoples' private residence gates, burning city halls, burning shopping centers, invading hospitals, illegally stopping and searching of private citizen cars and trucks, firing M79 grenades, assaulting anyone who disagrees with them including the sitting Prime Minister, invading Internation meetings causing the participants to leave by helicopter, just to name a few of their wonderful traits and deeds. Red democracy at its finest.

A case of mistaken identity?

There are two infamous Darunee's that are both Red Shirts.

The plaintiff in this defamation case, Darunee Kritboonyalai, is awaiting adjudication on charges related to her involvement in the May Mayhem 2010 riots as well as subsequent charges related to her being a fugitive for over a year on those charges. She returned to Thailand late last year from Cambodia.

Two months ago, she gained noterity for her involvement with Thaksin's fiasco trip to Los Angeles.

(that post also references the charges that evolved into this thread)

======================================

The other Red Shirt with the same name is Darunee Charnchoensilpakul. She was convicted of LM in 2009 and has been in prison ever since.

Both women, in various media reports, have had their names variously transliterated as Darunee or Daranee.

One accuses one of lese majeste, so the other sues for defamation.

Is it the people or the law that is the problem here?

What does Red Skills Radio Teach?

Quite possibly how to broadcast illegally from unlicensed radio stations whose signals interfere with regular licensed radio station broadcasts, coupled with spreading incitements to commit violence.

At least, that's been their history.

There's a lot that can't be said about that.

You mean the yellow shirts attacked the reds? say it ain't so...

I wonder how many pages of vitriolic comments we would have had already if it was the other way around

It seems that reconciliation is coming along nicely, Thailand is an example to the world as far as peace and harmony are concerned. Remember though, NONE of this is Thaksins fault.

Thugs, the lot of them.

In another local paper I notice the sign above the red shirt truck says "red skills radio 96.35 MHz". Is this where the reds learn the skills of pouring blood on peoples' private residence gates, burning city halls, burning shopping centers, invading hospitals, illegally stopping and searching of private citizen cars and trucks, firing M79 grenades, assaulting anyone who disagrees with them including the sitting Prime Minister, invading Internation meetings causing the participants to leave by helicopter, just to name a few of their wonderful traits and deeds.

Nice one Bucholz, and quite right.

Any comment on the yellow shirt violence ?

meanwhile back to the subject at hand. The TV showed quite a few sinking the slipper in, and I don't think it was all the reds?

I presume you don't have any problems with the two ladies identities now you have a video to look at. Still it was a handy excuse to post the two ladies resumes wasn't it. Ooh, you're a sly one, make no mistake.

Children out of control springs to mind.

Red shirt air con, 5 baht!

Indeed idiots all of them..........., but being honest. I think alot of people will be kinda glad the reds got a slap. If you think about the threats and intimidation the reds use as a standard operating procedure, perhaps this was just, well, the tiniest bit of karma coming back to the reds.

They (the reds) roll around thinking they own the place and then when someone stands up to them and gives them a taste of their own medicine they start blubbing

Ah well idiots the lot of them, clearly the grass roots reconciliation process is on track

It's wrong whoever does it.

"Ms Darunee accused Ms Manasnant of reviling her loudly at an upscale Bangkok department store, blaming her for alleged slurs against royalty, an action which Ms Daranee said damaged her reputation."

Does Ms Darunee actually have a reputation to be damaged?

All we know about her from this is that she frequents "up-scale" department stores.

Cunning stunts
