philw Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 the other newspaper shows that they put the concrete protection which is meant to protect against floods on the streets. While half Thailand is flooded they use the water barriers against the few demonstrators???? Why not use them up country where they need them? Just an indication of priorities ? yes if you would use this amount of police and concrete blocks upcountry to help the people, the government wouldn't need to protect themself from unhappy citizen...... Er..........how many multitudes of unhappy citizens are there ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I don't see the government suppressing the people's right to protest.Some do protest at the very moment using these rights, so where are their rights suppressed? Everyone is free to join the protest sites. Even you or anyone posting on this forum. Who is willing to drop by the protest sites? If anyone feels so strongly that something must be done, just go there. Alone, or with a TV brigade I am sure that the protesters would welcome a few farangs among them. The stars of the day Those who don't dare to show their face can even hide behind a white mask, so I heard It requires a bit of "balls" though... (To mention the words used by another poster) and a very strong conviction that you do the right thing... Those here who so strongly support the rallies are free to leave the safety of their keyboard, join and sit together with the protesters, even for an hour or two (that should be safe). To show real support, bring a tent and sleep there for a day or two. You can make lots of new friends who have the same point of view If the future of the country you love (well well, many here seem to hate it apparently, but ok) is at stake, go on. Do what you feel is right! Great photo opportunity for sure If you rely on your visa to stay in Thailand a long time, I would advise you to stay way clear of all protest sites. Your picture will be taken and you can expect a knock on the door from your local PTP Red Brigade handing you your deportation papers and escorting you to a taxi on its way to the airport. Bye Bye Thailand. If you are a tourist and are ready to leave, up to you. Really ??? Do you have any evidence at all, any, to support your assertion above. Any ?? Or are you just barking mad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some should demonstrate against the Dems who systematically delay whatever the PT government wants to do. Including the water management... Sent from my iPhone...
