Thai govt warns of tough action if protests against amnesty bill escalate irrationally

Featured Replies

In reality we are starting to see a government that is frightened the puppet master is no doubt screaming down his phone as he did before when he was in the U.S. as he , his family and their brown nosing acolytes are starting to see that the pot of gold that is at the end of the rainbow that is Thailand is indeed unobtainable by fair means.

Thaksin his family and their brown nosing acolytes have no qualms concerning the killing of their countrymen and women in the Thaksin quest for the ultimate position here, sadly it looks as if we may be heading down the slippery slope to yet more civil unrest yet again and on more than one front too. All because of one despicable malevolent megalomaniac and his insatiable demented thirst for both revenge and power.

The price of Thaksins ambition will be and is the blood of the Thai people if he is allowed to succeed., yet again we see the true face of tyranny appearing among the innocents .

A nation of sheep breeds a government of wolves.

Suranand Vejjajiva, secretary general to the prime minister, stood firm that the government would not disperse protesters whose demonstrations are in accordance with the democratic system.

But Thai subjects are not part of a democracy; odd statement

Democracy in name but never when it comes to the current monkeys running the country at the moment.

Now according to then S.M.S. from ''The Nation'' received some 15 minutes since, the D.S.I. is threatening action if the protest carries on today as according to Tharit, that paragon truth, honesty, loyalty and decency (at the right price) the controversial bill has been withdrawn and all that needs to be done is for all those anti Amnesty bill/ anti government protesters is for them to go home.

Strangely enough though there was nor is any mention of the pro Amnesty / government protesters and the suggestion that they should return home as all is well and settled

One wonders why that is?

Indeed an unveiled threat to the anti bill anti government demonstrators along with democracy in general.

Because the man is a monitor lizard

I take great offense at your calling Shinwatra a 'monitor lizard'. How dare you blaspheme the good name of one of the most respected members of the reptilian world by comparing them (lizards) to what is nothing more than common pond scum.

You should be ashamed of yourself tongue.png

I'll have you know the vast majority of pond scum, whom I represent in an official capacity, are just everyday, simple, folk wanting nothing better than an honest day's energy for an honest day's photosynthesis. Unless that comparison with a pustule on the backside of humanity is withdrawn I see nothing for it but to bring legal action on behalf of the pondscum, amoeba, algae, plankton and associated floating organisms' rights movement.

Yours,

Could it happen that the army stand behind the people and the police stand behind the government? That could lead to a very nasty situation. I don't believe Taksin has the army in his pocket. The army's loyalty lie elsewhere and with the people and that cannot be bought.

While I agree the army's loyalty lay's elsewhere! I think the army has been bought, after all there is an army general in the government as a sitting MP is there not?

I have spoken to several thais and they all agree with you ggold; basically Thaksin has bought the army. They all say how weak this army is and that a coup will never happen now, no matter what.

Given the nod from the right quarter, the army will jump to attention and do as it is told.

Not too sure about that, The Criminal may have tried to get the scorpion to take him across the water, but it's still a scorpion.

I think (I hope?) that the army realises that at the moment a coup would be condemned by most, unlike in September 2006.

Mind you, if some throw in some violence towards the anti-government protesters and/or the government will get tough on what they might claim 'inappropriate, irrational and/or escalating' protests, the bets are open. IMHO wai2.gif

Which is precisely why the dem sponsored demonstration has imposed a 6pm deadline on Monday for the deliberation / throwing out of the amnesty bill. If it is not done by then ,which most likely will be the case, the dem sponsored demonstration against the Amnesty Bill morphs into the dem sponsored demonstration against the government.

And that, is a perfect example of an inappropriate, irrational and/or escalating protest, would you not say?

More like seizing the moment, why is it inappropriate and irrational?

PS: the Dem do not sponsor the protest movement, they are a spontaneous group of protestors, volunteering their time and resources, not paid protestors like the redshiirts. The Bangkok council provide water and sanitation and another group provide other resources, same as the redshirts.

No, why would I?

PTP seem to be getting more & more desperate. Busing in Reds from up country, threatening the use of force, threats from DSI chief & threatening to charge leaders with rebellion. Saying they will not pursue the current amnesty bills is simply not enough. It is still not known what the senate will do although it seems PTP desperately want them to throw it out & not change it.

The title was slightly wrong, apparently, it should be:

Thai govt warns of irrational action if protests against amnesty bill escalate.
