Popular Post Curt1591 Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thaksin's little helpers - keeping Thailand's version of democracy safe. Probably had absolutely nothing to do with politics. It was, most likely, some cyclist, with a bad temper, and a gun, confronting someone who would not let him pass through. People get shot for much less confrontational issues here. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet this "probably" has nothing to do with the protest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poisonus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I suggest people read the lead report in the Bangkok Post. Emergency meeting being held between all military top brass in response to the two shootings last night, and to adjust their military deployment. I hope they move the troops away from where the governments wants them (government buildings) and deploy them to protect the protesters seeing as the police have zero interest in doing it themselves. Even better, to discuss how far this will go before they move in and oust this bunch of jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you also suggesting that it was the fault of the 80 protesters that were killed in 2010 because they chose to be there? Particularly then, they knew it wouldn't be safe as it was their own side were shooting to at the army, with the army shooting back. It wasn't some third hand just driving by and shooting protesters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Particularly then, they knew it wouldn't be safe as it was their own side were shooting to at the army, with the army shooting back." What a shameless excuse, whybother. Did they deserve it then? Like the people in the Wat, whybother, were there people shooting at the army from the Wat in 2010? I know that was the government line but do you still believe it. Anyway your hypothesis suggests that all the UDD supporters who were shot and killed were amongst protesters that were firing at the Army, I don't think so. 80 odd dead and 2000 injured seems like a lot of collateral damage, doesn't it?

Citizens peacefully protesting don't lose the right to life; and shooting people doesn't become legal because you are doing it to protect red democracy (although an amnesty is possible). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't the one saying they deserved it. 'ikke' said the protester that was shot deserved it because he was there. That suggests that he also believes that the red shirt protesters deserve it because they were there. The difference being that the protester last night was shot by some third party, and not the army / police that in 2010 were fighting against an armed militia.

Yes the dead red shirts have only themselves to blame. Their leader openly told them he planned a terrorist attack on Bangkok, if they still continue to support him then they too are terrorists.

DGIE Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thaksin's little helpers - keeping Thailand's version of democracy safe. Probably had absolutely nothing to do with politics. It was, most likely, some cyclist, with a bad temper, and a gun, confronting someone who would not let him pass through. People get shot for much less confrontational issues here. Yeah, people who are not in either side (anti or pro-government) are now irritated with the hassle those demonstrators are doing on the roads.

Which pro-government people are you talking about? The pro-monarchist's (yellows) who want to bring down the constitutionally elected government, or the populist people (reds) who want to protect their constitutionally elected representative government against an unelected, non-representative form of government? They each claim to be pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graft and corruption were not invented by Thais. Graft and corruption comes with greed and power. It's the nature of the beast, and what happens when those out of power for years do when they finally get power. Perhaps anarchy ala Noam Chomski would be the best solution. No central government - only localized back and forth among the people, doing what's in their own narrow, self-interest? That would sure be hell for us expats!
