Red shirts to rally at Chatuchak to counter anti-govt demonstrators

BANGKOK: -- Some red-shirt groups will hold a demonstration at the Chatuchak Park to counter anti-government rallies at the Urupong Intersection.

Wutthipong Kotthamkhun, a red-shirt from Pathum Thani, said he and Pongpisit Khongsena, chairman of the People Power Fellowship, would organize a rally at Chatuchak Park everyday from 5 pm to midnight.

The rally would continue until anti-government rallies end, he said.

He said the red-shirt people at Chatuchak would be ready to move to counter demonstrators to be led by the Democrat at any spot in Bangkok.

That would be the anti-anti-government rally.

Time to implement an ISA for Chatuchak to shut the red shirt protests down.

Could this be taken as a not so subtle threat that the Red Shirts will move to oppose other factions who in a less than peaceful manner much as their past record shows.

'Twould be interesting to see the police to demonstrator ratio concerning the Red Shirt faction in this particular matter along with the allegiance the police may take.

No doubt that parliamentary time will be taken up with the current amnesty bill thus there will be no time to request an I.S.A. concerning this particular matter.

Here we go again!!

That would be the anti-anti-government rally.

Maybe some other group will rally to counter the anti-anti-government rally.

Surely no double standards exist.

I hope they don't block the roads or make too much noise. Can't have the locals objecting.

Someone must tell them to be silent when burning down houses.

That would be the purple underwear mob protesting at Ratchayothin intersection every morning from 4-10 a.m.

So, a protest till an anti-government protest ends. Apart from that any other reasons for this anit-anti-government protest?

BTW I would have expected red-shirt groups and this PPF to protest against the planned blanket amnesty, or do they first want to free space for the millions who will undoubtedly come to Bangkok for that ?

[otherstuff1957]

I hope that they don't make a habit of gathering there. It's the closest place for me to go running or do aerobics, but I skipped it today when I heard they were going to be assembling there.

One group more stubborn than the other, and the middle of the pack is always the one thAt suffers the most.

[phantomfiddler]

When will the penny drop for these poor clowns ? The government is not interested in the redshirts after it used them to get into power, and they are going to end up in greater poverty than they were before. Incidentally, thais do not know what real poverty is. It looks like every kid in Thailand has an I-Phone. They should check out the state of rural philipinos and think themselves lucky.

5 pm to midnight... So its will be several taxi drivers and BIB attending after work to share a bottle of Sangsom

There are so many taxis and mini cans hanging around outside Chatuchak Park on a normal day that it looked like a rally site already.

Blood on the streets!

I agree; this could be the spark that I have been alluding to in my previous posts, which could potentially lead to civil war...!

However, whilst the red shirts have had it all their own way in the past, this new, younger group of protesters are going to prove to be more than they bargained for, so we may see the red shirts turning tail and running...!!

If it does come to that, it would likely embolden more anti-government protesters to join their ranks.

The PM will look into the matter after a bit of shopping at Gaysorns...

The death penalty is inhumane by definition. How long will it take for certain countries to realize this?
