1 dead, four people shot at Ramkhamhaeng University after clashes

[Deez]

All this because one evil man - Suthep - wants to escape a court appearance for mass murder. He is prepared to destroy his country to escape justice - clearly the most evil & repugnant man in post-war Thai history. Reports now coming in on news thread that the guns-for-hire yellow fascists bussed in to cause mayhem & terror have now shot & killed some pro-democracy red protesters. The Yellows are fascist terrorists, no more no less, being manipulated by this monster trying to escape justice - and Bangkok may burn because of him.

Shift change at the government's new propaganda ministry. Magenta must have been assigned another thread to work on this forum.

Notice to all protesters, you have now over stepped the mark, you are now using civil disobedience to prove a point , your lowly standards are not only harming Thailand but you have proven you are no better than the red shirts, you must put Thailand the country first, the Protest leaders must do the right thing and pull back, allow the hot heads to settle down, regroup and peacefully demonstrate, you will lose to many valuable friends if you continue in this anti social way

[newatthis]

Escape a court appearance? No way! He just wants his People's Council, ie Goverment of Suthep, by Suthep and for Suthep

"Meanwhile, the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has announced the closure of Ramkhamhaeng Road from Ramkhamhaeng to Lam Sali Intersection..."

Funny how they use 'CAPO'. It's mafia terms (from Wikipedia)...

"...capo, is a term used in the Mafia for a high-ranking made member of a crime family who heads a "crew" of soldiers and has major social status and influence in the organization. Caporegime is an Italian word, which is used to signify the head of a family in Sicily, but has now come to mean a ranking member, similar to captain or senior sergeant in a military unit. In general, the term indicates the head of a branch of an organized crime syndicate who commands a crew of soldiers and reports directly to a boss or an underboss."

How fitting.

Yes. Ironic, isn't it.

We could just repost everything that has been said in the 2010 topics, swapping out sides.

Or we could actually discuss the larger issues, not what one side's thugs are doing to the other. Few news sources ever get there, especially not within Thailand.

I do see some signs of common sense breaking out at the likes of The Nation. That shows that saner people are having doubts about the Suthep way. If either side's thugs pull enough mayhem though then those saner voices will go silent.

Now the truly ugly side of the yellow shirts come out.

[CWMcMurray]

Well it's good to see that the proposed "reconciliation" bill has brought all Thai's together...

Such a great idea....

First question to PM... "Given the results of trying to push through the so called "reconciliation" bill, do you still believe the bill was aptly named or was a good idea?"

Or

Do you believe the current protest of both reds and yellows and the current violence in the streets is a result of trying to push through the amnesty bill?

If you could go back in time, would you still have tried to push the bill through Parliament? Knowing the results?

Although also want to add... Not a fan of a government appointment by some unelected committee... If that ended up being the result, it would be the biggest tragedy to hit Thailand yet...

One killed and 21 others injured in a clash near stadium where reds gathered
THE NATION

BANGKOK: -- A 21-year-old student was killed from gunshot wounds on Saturday night in Ramkhamhaeng University Saturday evening in a drama believed to be related to clashes with red-shirts gathering in the nearby Rajamangala Stadium.

The victim was Taweesak Phokaew who was rushed to a hospital after being shot at his abomen. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Five others students were also wounded.

The Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has announced the closure of Ramkhamhaeng Road from Ramkhamhaeng to Lam Sali Intersection, after violence in the area.

Earlier, in the afternoon, dozens of protesters in an anti-red shirt rally, harassed several men near the university by blowing whistles at them. The red shirts are holding a rally to support the government at the stadium.

Some protesters outside RU beat on a taxi transporting red shirts with their fists and sticks and later some students threw rocks and beat a passing bus.

A group of men also showed their opposition to the reds by setting a red T-shirt on fire, then stamping on it.

These incidents prompted RU rector Assoc Prof Wuttisak Larpcharoensap to order the RU students to go back into the university compound.

The rector said a number of men on motorcycles from the stadium had provoked the protesting students earlier.

There was a fistfight and one student a got minor injury, according to a reporter with the pro-Democrats' Blue Sky TV network at the scene.

Hundreds of protesters Saturday joined in an anti-red shirts rally in front of the university, after a female student was attacked by the red shirts because she wore a whistle necklace.

The protesters set up stage at about noon. After representatives from Hua Mark and Wang Thonglang police stations came to receive their petition on the case and protesters were seeing them off, a fistfight between two men and a group of the protesters began. Protest leaders and police tried to break them up.

While inbound Ramkhamhaeng Soi 61 had been already blocked, police later set up barricades to separate the two groups

First question to PM... "Given the results of trying to push through the so called "reconciliation" bill, do you still believe the bill was aptly named or was a good idea?"

Not sure why that question needs asking because actions speak louder. The bill was removed, even though it had a lot of merit, and staunch red shirts were also very opposed to it. Yet it was removed from consideration, thereby answering the question if the government sill considers it a good idea; clearly they don't.

Yet.. ... .. Suthep is trying to achieve something else entirely.

Now the truly ugly side of the yellow shirts come out.

Being shot IS pretty ugly.

Actually, it hasn't been removed. It's sitting on ice for 180 days, when it can be passed in with a vote by the house.

does this mean calmer heads will prevail? we hope so, but are under no illusions...

Update Asia Update Channel: My translation – a few lines from their 08-00 Hrs, We are en circled with sniper vans, no water, no food, no toilets. Many of hired hands want to leave now, not safe here…more later perhaps…leaving in mass…

[cdnvic]

Some posts removed. Bringing the Monarchy into the discussion is a fast way to get thrown out of here. Especially in situations like this. Use your heads.

[CWMcMurray]

Also the gov have not come out and advised that they no longer support the bill or will not bring it or any similar bill back

They just remained silent and advised that they will allow the senate to do as it it will.

Also if they did not bring the bill up, then no protestors in the streets, as that was what brought the protesters all out to begin with

The same could be said of the redshirt leaders who are due to return to court on their terrorism charges in December too.

History repeats itself. The root of this evil is the same as before. Why isn't it rooted out?

Anyone seen reports of *4* red shirts killed? I have seen reports of the student last night, a red shirt guard at 2am and another around 7am (but very little information on those 2), but no other reports.

[osten]

Oops... I realize now those shot were probably from opposing parties, not army or police; hence no rubber bullets.

Mini circus, all ordered to leave now by the boss…we will back later

[Queenslander]

Sadly for Thailand, the Prime Minister and her duly elected government; the self-serving interference of her brother, convicted felon Thaksin Shinawatra, has caused the current political unrest. The Government's inability to divorce itself from the machinations of TS to further his need/desire for power has brought Thailand to the brink of anarchy - shame, shame, shame!

[culicine]

"Udon Thani red-shirt leader Kwanchai Praipana, who is bringing 1,500 people on board 20 buses to Bangkok, claimed that former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra on Friday phoned and asked him to mobilise supporters."

Does the International media need much more proof of who really manages things here in Thailand......

There's been some serious money spent getting the northern thugs to BKK.....Thaksins getting serious now.....and he doesn't care the outcome!

Taksin/Yingluck and PT are stupid beyond belief. Trucking hordes of redshirts has just inflamed the situation - now police have to contend with both keeping protesters from fighting as well as supposedly protect government offices and other facilities. And will police control the antics of the aggressive redshirt faction? There would have been no need for military intervention if redshirt protesters kept out of it and the police actually did the job they are paid to do.
