webfact Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 CAPO fears violence could erupt at three main rally sites BANGKOK, 13 January 2014 (NNT) - The Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order (CAPO) has expressed concern over reports of violence at three main gathering sites of anti-government protesters. Two shootings were reported on Sunday night at Chaengwattana road and the Democrat party headquarters. A People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) guard was injured near Chaengwattana Road while unknown assailants shot at the party headquarters, damaging the party-owned coffee shop in the front. A RTB-5 explosive was also thrown at a PDRC core leader’s home in Nonthaburi. CAPO spokesperson Piya Utayo said violence will likely erupt at rally venues close to these reported attacks and urge police officers to closely monitor the situation. Hot spots include Chaengwattana, Lat Prao and Victory Monument rallies. The CAPO expects the rally to last around 5 days. -- NNT 2014-01-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonus Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) The CAPO expects the rally to last around 5 days. Do they know something we don't know? If the protests have not completed their aim within 5 days the protest area will be doubled in size just in time for the weekend warriors to arrive. The protest sites will be expanded daily almost if the government continues to be stubborn. They will EASILY take the airports.

Smokemachine Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Even he expected the rally to end be it 5 days, 7 days or 10days. And if it doesn't end, it does not matter to them at all especially Yingluck. There is always others doing her duties. She just simply doing her own errands, spending time on her shopping list. After 3,5 or 10days, she came back and still see the protesters. YL: "Oh! You all still here protesting!? Oh,ok.. cool man" Anti-govt: "TS Get out! YL Get Out!" YL: "chill guys...." Anti-govt: "Resign! Resign! Resign!" YL: "No, I will not. I have the duty to take care of the govt till the election came and a new govt is elected." "No, I will not. I have the duty to take care of the govt till the election came and a new govt is elected." "No, I will not. I have the duty to take care of the govt till the election came and a new govt is elected." "No, I will not. I have the duty to take care of the govt till the election came and a new govt is elected." "No, I will not. I have the duty to take care of the govt till the election came and a new govt is elected." Seriously, what can they do to her? I'm wondering...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FangFerang Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I predict the protest will end yesterday. I further predict that the two opposing sides will join hands on Chinese New Year and sing 'Kumbaya'. After that, the taxi drivers will always use honest meters, and stop renting their rented cabs out to unlicenced drivers. Then the miltant wings of both sides will melt down their armanets to make ploughshares for the poorest farmers, as beautiful pigs fly overhead and wave with their little hoofies in a cute and lovable way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are that serious they should be coming out in there millions! These shutdowns are a mere inconvenience to the government. Suthep, I think your days are numbered! I recall that the news on the big demonstrations that took the government house ranged from more than 5.000 up to 560.000 in official news. Not even counting their own estimations. Just forget what Bloomberg tells. It is like I tell you it is 1.000.000 (I estimate from the color of my coffee, bloomberg, BBC, CNN often use similar methods). It has the same probability of being true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suthep and his thugs also saw this early and set about de-stablising the SET by threatening to occupy it. BIt rash really as most of their Elite Backers will be inconvenienced by this move.....

Suthep, I think your days are numbered! seems like a case of Bloomberg needing an eye test. Narrow vision is not productive. I can assure you that there were more than 500,000 at Lat Prao intersection and another 10-15,000 inside Central Lat Prao. Perhaps Bloomberg just counted the people waiting to buy an MRT coupon 'cos there were lots of queues for that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLew Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 They 5 day prediction by Thaksin is just a guess or a dream ... It will all come down to how many people are willing and or being paid to want to stay and man the protest sites day in and day out for an long period. My guess is the PDRC is probably canvassing down south to get long term campers up to bangkok The choice of Monday to start it off is an interesting gamble, but if it carries on you can bet the come Friday afternoon and Saturday morning the numbers will swell for a huge weekend party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
