White masks adamant on rallying at CentralWorld despite ban

[Noistar]

Can't think of many civilised countries where people facing prosecution on terrorist charges would be able to hold political positions and enjoy immunity.

Flood SCAM, First car SCAM, the taxpayer-voters' ripped off money is just coming in handy as they will be paid under the table again to counter back the Maskies with 90% counter protest in the near future... the Maskies are outnumbered for the time being,... so sorry, but they gotta deal with trillions of brainwashed redshirt supporters and their leaders...

[Noistar]

Any idea how much the policing of this peaceful protest cost?

In previous similar protests, the police out-numbered the protestors significantly.

[Thai at Heart]

If the law had done it' its job from the beginning and stopped all of these protest groups from blocking public highways for extended periods and commandeering private property none of this crap would have ever happened.

Go sit in lumpini.

They are just trying to pick a fight, in the hope that they can persuade the military to step in. After all it is a few months since anyone had a go at this stunt.

Not sure if having a short peaceful protest is "picking a fight".

The group gets international support.

Any contradiction of the Thaksin philosophy must be considered sacrilege.

It's amazing how little has been reported on this rally.

The Bangkok Post had nothing. I haven't seen anything on Thai TV.

It seems the government are practicing their democracy and allowing free speech (to anyone pro government).

So with all these rallies over the weekend but no stories about violence at any of them, are we to believe that the cutting edge of Red Shirt mayhem was represented by the handful of Chiang Mai nutters involved in a scuffle the other weekend?

Either they are 'paid to cause trouble' or they are not. Either they are organized, or they are not. Can one of the knowledgeable members on this thread please let me know how we should interpret this dearth of bloodshed over the weekend? Did the money dry up? Are the red shirts not violent? Something in between?

[Thai at Heart]

Cannot help but laugh at these pathetic straw clutchers who try to convince us that the White Masks are in some way trying to bring down the monarchy. Can't you get it through your thick skulls ? Even if they were wearing Mickey Mouse masks their sentiment would be the same, they are fed up with this present government as a lot of people are and would like to see the lot of them tarred and feathered and exiled to Dubai.

Let us hope they do not burn down any shopping centers, just to "get their message across".

Its the cheapest accusation anyone makes about anyone protesting about anything in Thailand. Can't be proven, and rarely ever is, but it sticks as an accusation

Well the red supporters didn't turn up for the big 100,000 red shirt rally, the reported reason was that they weren't paid.

Possibly you could use that as an indication.

Okay, so could we therefore conclude that the person with the big money didn't pay them since he/she didn't want violence to occur?

Yes that is a good point.

It shows real grass roots movement and that is some thing the PTP can not stand up to.

There was a picture on twitter yesterday but, since it was by Andrew Spooner and didn't say where or when it was taken it is highly questionable, particularly since i cannot find it on any reputable news sources.

Doesn't surprise me given who put it out there.

Could also be that the money is running out.

However it does show that these people do not really believe in what they are doing as they are only there for the money.

Thai = me, me, me, money, money, money.

Don't think Thailand appears anywhere in their priorities.

Another point that seems to have been missed is the white masks get their support locally so therefor have the ability to rally in many different parts of the country at one time.

While the reds not only have to pay for support but have to bus their supporters around from one place to another to make it look like there are a lot of them.

A case in point :

Half a dozen buses full of red supporters in Singburi this morning from somewhere going somewhere.

They also had a couple of lead utes with red and PT insignia to make sure they couldn't be mistaken for anything else..

Nattawut urging protesters not to wear Guy Fawkes masks to prevent confusion

BANGKOK, 25 June 2013 (NNT)-Deputy Commerce Minister Nattawut Saikua is urging the Guy Fawkes masked group to consider taking off their masks in their anti-government movement to avoid confusion with robbery at a 7-Eleven convenience store in which criminals were wearing the same mask.

Mr. Nattawut said he believed the recent robbery at 7-Eleven store by a group of thieves wearing Guy Fawkes masks has nothing to do with the Red Shirt members or the government as they have no reasons to defame the protesters.

However, he said the current political movement might give the criminals an idea to take advantage of this opportunity and use the masks in their robbery to draw the attention away from their true identities. He also believed the store robbers were not the real anti-government protesters either. He urged the group to remove the mask during their protest.

Mr Nattawut should try reading the report of the robbery before he opens his big mouth.

There were 2 not a group who robbed the 7-11 and, oh dear, they wore black, as per the men in black, as well as masks.

The red shirts and the government are one in the same, which he should know as he is part of the leadership of both.

They had no reason to defame the protesters but it would seem they had every reason to attack them in Chaing Mai.

I see. Does that mean they've got mobile 'red villages' too? Perhaps they're like turbo-charged traveling circuses, zooming up and down the country so fast as to give the impression that there are hundreds if not thousands of them all over the place at the same time....

Very difficult to reply to that without commenting on the posters common sense.

However there is plenty of evidence that the reds bring in groups of people from around the country to boost their numbers but as you don't deny it there is no need to post any more.
