Simple way to deal with this, shoot them. Job done.

I wish I had your intelligence (not)!!!

Yingluck is wise to say that using violence against rubber farmers is a bad idea - after all it could rebound in a big way

So you are not going to suggest to Yingluck that 'shooting them' IS a good idea then, like our other poster wants.

The photos shown on Thai news websites of what looks like a Thai policeman in riot gear smashing the windscreen of a police truck with a pole of some sort is interesting. Is this a real policeman, a red shirt fake policeman pretending to be a policeman or a rubber farmer dressed up as a policeman???

Anyway, it seems rather suspicious, and if it turns out it is a real policeman trying to make it look like the actions of a rubber farmer, then it provides further evidence of authorities wasting taxpayers' money.

Could be a yellow terrorist wearing his motorcycle helmet

Much more likely one of the henchmen for indicted red shirt leader out on bail, Issan Rambo...

or as he is currently referred to in the thread's article, Yingluck's Deputy, Suporn Attawong

Suporn Attawong, deputy secretary general to the premier, said the protesters at Kuan Nong Hong intersection were teenagers trying to instigate unrest

What happened to this cretin after he was caught impersonating a police officer during the anti-Thaksin rally in Bkk recently? He was photographed wearing full police uniform. If he isn't in prison then he is probably still pretending to be a police officer so yes, likely him in the photo smashing the truck windshield although who could have set the fire? Nobody could accuse the red leadership of having any association with arsonists, could they?

I would suggest to get your facts straight before posting.

The person who was photographed wearing the uniform of a police volunteer (Damruat Chumchon) at parliament was Kwanchai Paipanna, leader of the 'Udon Lovers", and not Suporn "Rambo Isaarn" Attawong. Thailand has a multitude of official police volunteer organizations (Damruat Chumchon, Or Bor Dor Lor, Tourist Police Volunteers, etc) - each with different uniforms.
