Popular Post Mackie Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 How incredibly lucky... almost unbelievably lucky Yeah...I know, in narrow-minded world of yours the red shirt supporters and thugs have never committed a single criminal act, they have never resorted to terrorism and instead of throwing fire bombs and hand grenades into backyards and gardens of their political opponents they probably threw some candy and sweets. Maybe even Swisse cholocate. It must be great living in the land of yours, I'm certain that even pigs can fly. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 "Police said it might be the work of ill-intention people wanting to incite violence." Top notch detective work, as usual. So where are the 15,000 Police ordered in by Yukluck to protect the people of Bangkok on Monday, which started at 00.01am ? Hmmm; i suppose the protesters are not the 'right' people to protect then.

Gone Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't believe it was anti-protesters if nobody was hit. Just another scam to make the "other" side look bad. Either iether glad noone was hurt. I've been watching the Thai PBS HD station for a couple of hours now and never saw this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect to see more of these stunts as the week goes on. I agree, is there no end to how low suthep will stoop? I mean having someone firing into a crowd of his own protestors just to try and incite violence, this scumbag must be stopped at all costs Sit back and relax, let the Thai's sort it out in their own inimitable way...after all, it is THEIR country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noitom Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The newspaper doesn't explain if it was an automatic weapon "spraying" bullets in to a cluster of human beings. Hard to understand how a "spray" of bullets in to a cluster of people can not cause injuring and/or killing. How does the newspaper define "spraying bullets?"

jaltsc Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 "Police said it might be the work of ill-intention people wanting to incite violence." Obviously. Since neither side had come up with a constructive plan to improve the socio-political situation. The actions of both sides do nothing but incite chaos. Once again, grown people acting like school yard bullies. All these actions prove to the rest of the world is that this is society with a national inferiority complex without a clue how improve the lot of its citizens.

So far, the current protests are very peaceful. Peaceful civil disobedience is a right in any democratic nation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_disobedience Gandhi was a big supporter of this.

Hard to understand how a "spray" of bullets in to a cluster of people can not cause injuring and/or killing. How does the newspaper define "spraying bullets?" First of all, shooting people with a gun isn't quite as easy as it looks on TV. But whoever did the shooting here, was most likely trying to intimidate, rather than kill. Shattering a glass shop window near a group of people will often do that. Anybody's guess who might want to intimidate a group of peaceful protesters...
