A Member Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Chalerm is on it, it wouldn't be anything to do with those pesk red shirts, would it? The Pol. Gen. says " make it appear to be political " whereas the rest of us are convinced it couldn't be anything else. Of course it will be played down because the PTP / reds don't want any of their members being linked to this. The BIB are joining DSI as a wholly owned subsidiary of the PTP government.

Yes it's a very profound statement and it sounds like he's suggesting opposition elements did it to stir things up presumably trying to get totally innocent red shirts blamed when we all know they would never break the law.
