BANGKOK: -- A band of red shirts yesterday gathered in front of the home of Constitutional Court Justice Boonsong Kulbupar to protest against alleged wrongdoing by his son.

The group, led by Sornrak Malaithong, a spokesman for the Radio for Democracy Network, started rallying at the courthouse on Tuesday before moving to Boonsong's residence yesterday.

Boonsong's son works as his secretary, but has taken leave for overseas study while still drawing a salary.

Sornrak said he was told by some Pheu Thai Party members to disperse the demonstration.

The charter court is expected to rule today on the constitutionality of the 2014 budget bill.

A "band" of red shirts? Deary me, makes them sound like the Beatles or something. The proper collective noun for these morons is a "flock".

These cretins know no bounds.

Doing what every other Thai with clout is doing and likely getting away with it.

To prevent the appearance of double standards I expect the police erected a barricade around the house to protect the occupants.

I larf, I larf, I pee I self.

It would be great for this country if they could think of another way to "protest" other than the usual intimidation and violence.

EDIT: grammar

Government policy of intimidation.

"All we want is democracy"...Banner at Rachaprasong...

Our democracy...Red shirt mob democracy...

Poor souls!...

Actually I believe it is herd.

The Red Shirts put me in mind of ''A Mob of Starlings.'' Noisy raucous and destructive and ill disciplined.

Herds in the main tend to be somewhat more placid.

If that is indeed the collective noun then maybe the Police can tell them to "Flock Off" ?

I did many courses and training while I was employed and on full pay - also many university students are sponsored and paid while continuing their education - it has absolutely nothing to do with these redshirt uneducated rabble - not their business

Ok stampeding herd, a kwai in a china shop comes to mind

"Boonsong's son works as his secretary, but has taken leave for overseas study while still drawing a salary."

Its more like them getting pissed at equality. No cannot have that! Gotta still abide by double-standards and hypocrisy. Like the stupid ***** that is you-know-who.

There are many ways to further the education of employees who may display an appitude to being a up and coming star. To provide them with funds for a foreign education, while they gain senority and are paid full salary may be a little above and beyond the normal concept and utilization of this and similar plans..

Just more self serving loop holes of the laws/guidelines, that those who abuse it were instramental in its passage. Thailand has displayed time and again that they can take a perfectly sensible, workable idea/practice and corrupt it to the highest degree, with no intention of the source of the payment receiving any benifit. It seems to be ongoing contest by the Thai politicians on what programs they can pass that will benifit themselves/cronies more than the last group of thugs.

...let them be...they do what they are good at...and they have nothing else to do...

Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of this lad's supposed paid study leave the whole issue is defined by the three key words which reflect his dad's position.

Constitutional Court Judge equals Red Rag to a Red Shirt.

IMO it is pretty clear that too many red shirts are just thugs hooligans and are a menace

They have no concept of what the law is and whose sole tactics are threats and intimidation.

YS should make some sort of statement against these tactics ... but we know she is not a

real leader so she will continue her shopping tours and act ignorant

My oh my how balanced are you PAD/Yellow/TPN supporeters or whatever you're calling yourselves this week. I know that you lot clutch at any straw with which to beat a Red (and I'd agree that they often give you lot an open goal to aim at) but in the interest of balance maybe a mention of the fact that no Yellow Shirt thug has been convicted of their crimes committed 5 years ago. It would lend more credence to the childish predictable name calling you descend to. Erm........no it wouldn't.

Moronic bullies.

I would go with the new word made famous throughout the Babylon 5 series and call them a Frak of Red Shirts.

There are plenty of cases going through the courts for the airport blockade. As with most cases in Thailand (ie cases against red shirts in 2007) they move through the courts VERY slowly.

But this is his son who is employed as his secretary. Hardly surprising the redshirts smell a rat. They are familiar enough with them.
