Who is imprisoned illegally?

People have a democratic right to protest. They don't have a democratic right to block roads and inconvenience people.

The Red shirts have a long history of violence , note April 2009 and the protests in 2010. Don think for one moment that they are peace loving, democracy championing organization. They are a paid for rent a thug outfit, serving the DL.

Some are thugs, but not all. The rest are a mixture of brainwashed useful idiots and/or lonely senile people who use the red shirt movement for free entertainment and social gathering where they can feel a sense of acceptance and belonging to something.

With no idea what the ideology of the red thug leaders is. Just ask this lady the definition of ideology or democracy. Sad but true.

thats a lady, bugger, I thought it was a man , sure its not an old lady boy

Always wondered who these innocent protesters are that are in Jai that the reds keep complaining about.

My understanding is that all those locked up have been charged with some criminal offense, gone before the courts and been found guilty.

I also remember that when the reds were cleaned out the ordinary protesters were well treated.

They were given medical checks, fed and watered and given a free ride home to where they came from.

The brave leaders who were going to fight to the last drop of blood then either ran away or couldn't get their hands in the air quick enough were the only ones rounded up and taken away.

I just so want the yellows to arrange a similarly disruptive 'gathering', absolutely identical mind, same place, same numbers, say maybe next week, blocking off main roads and costing Central 1/2 a days business and see how far it gets. See if the police even let them set up camp and take a seat.

But why would you want that. The protest is about the absence of Justice for the 90 inocent protesters that lost their lives three years ago and the injustice of the extra judicial incaceration of numerous prostesters that remain in prison. Your view is irrational in respect to the yellow shirt movement since none of them suffered such momentious damages and supression of their human rights. You are presenting an elitest opinion which has lost all meaning by the passage of time and which of course appears to be the achiles heel of the burned out social democrats.

Another hero of the oppressed who would deny that Arisman's video existed to give the lie to his fabrications.

I would suggest that the passage of time is the reason you have for being clueless as to what went on in 2010.

Answer me this O innocent one. What were innocent people doing invading a hospital?

Eighteen companies of police officers have been deployed in the protest site and screen for weapons at the venue.

Why didn't they do their jobs 3 years ago? The government of the day had nowhere to turn but the army who responded to force exactly like you would expect an army to.

Military and judiciary installed government, obviously lacked a little 'on the ground' support, that is what comes of ignoring the electorate I guess. Also note no military no problem.

This "remembrance through disruption" is further evidence that these people are a rent-a-crowd and that once they have everything they want they will simply start fighting with each other. There is no common goal within this group, only selfishness, greed, and the desire to gain attention through disruptive and illegal acts (blocking roads, burning down shopping malls, planting bombs at banks, and leaving half the worlds rubbish on the main streets of Bangkok on their way out). They do not care who runs the country because they do not understand that what benefits the country benefits them.

If this were a serious protest perhaps the reds and the yellows could get together, and wear white shirts as a sign of neutrality and protest against corruption and inefficiency within the police and other government run departments. This is a real reason to protest. But then again, these would be the same people that recently voted that corruption is good for good of the country.

I thought the red shirts were supposed to be violent. Why didn't it kick off?

The government has already abused their power sufficiently to weaken its' opponents (including the army and resisting groups within the Police, including DSI) sufficiently that they are no longer a threat against them achieving the single minded goal in which the entire red shirt (and consequent PTP party) movement is based upon: a very wealthy single mans' drive to ensure a return to power, ensuring his financial position is restored fully, and that friends who assist him gain positions of high power and influence in return. As a result of this all those who oppose will be punished severely as we have seen the PTP throw law suit after law suit after criminal accusation at the Democrats, the weakening of the army through financial restrictions, public humiliation and forced demotion and retirement of openly resistant voices.

If there is no-one to resist, then there is no reason for violence. It is the same as being at a feminists rights movement meeting and asking why the feminists are not beating down on the main in the room, when the only man in the room is locked in the closet and can't get out.

Good to see at least someone here is able to quote the party line as PM Yingluck herself spoke a few days ago. Mind you, I don't think she said so in ChiangMai with local red-shirts preventing others to rally at the Water Summit.
