Reds set 500,000 baht bounty for Suthep’s arrest

BANGKOK: -- Red-shirt followers in the Northeast have set up a 500,000-baht bounty for the arrest of protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban.

The bounty came from donations from Rak Udon, Rak Yingluck-Thaksin groups and other red-shirt followers from northeastern provinces.

As the People’s Democratic Reform Committee staged Bangkok Shutdown operation to close down the capital on Monday, the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship staged rallies in several northeastern provinces.

In Khon Kaen, caretaker Deputy Commerce Minister Natthawut Saikua led about 5,000 red-shirt followers in a counter-protest march throughout the provincial township.

Mr Thanik Maseepitak, red-shirt co-leader in the Northeast, said that Udon Thani and Khon Kaen would be the UDD’s centres to prepare election campaigns to urge voters in the region to go to the polls on February 2.

In Prachin Buri, about 200 red-shirt followers, donning white shirts, joined a car rally followed by a protest march.

The price of a used car?

[JoeThePoster]

I'll talk to Soi Dog the bounty hunter and see if he's interested.

[JRSoul]

5000 in KK. Where have all the red shirts gone?

[DiamondKing]

He aint worth a new one

[stubuzz]

This is old news.

[Rob8891]

Red shirt follower wearing white shirts.... Hmmmmm.... I hope they don't get blood on their hands......

[bigbamboo]

The redshirts still have a lot to learn.

You pay money to avoid arrest here..... not the other way round!

[Scamper]

Suthep must be quaking in his boots, and doubtless considers himself very lucky he wasn't in Pachin Buri today with the spectacle of 200 people amassed. As if he doesn't have enough on his mind already. Chalerm still fully intends to arrest him.

If only he could leave his driveway.

Easy money! He's hardly bin laden is he!

[Gone]

They shouldn't need to put a bounty on a guy that is already indicted for murder and has arrest warrants out for him now as he marches freely.

ps: I have to agree with theses signs the reds are carrying that say "Respect my Vote"

Easy money yes. Let's hope someone has the balls to claim it. Talk is cheap around here.

[anon467367354]

Would that be a bribe or a kidnapping fee?

[seajae]

Easy money! He's hardly bin laden is he!

well then, show us all how big your balls are, go and get him or are you just another mouth piece, yeh, easy money, you are a joke.

[GentlemanJim]

Perhaps the money would be better spent paying it as a bounty to get the commerce Minister to pay the Farmers their money on the 15th.

[MJP]

Suthep is clearly a low value target.

[Gone]

Easy money! He's hardly bin laden is he!

Easy money?

Yeah very easy to just walk into a crowd of thousands and thousands of angry protesters, slap a pair of cuffs on him and walk him into the police station.

Bin Laded hid in dirt, Suthep is hiding in crowds

[Costas2008]

I agree, this is old news......so they managed to collect 1Baht from each Red supporter to make up the sum.

I didn't know that reds have so many supporters!

Chalerm fully intended to let people behead him on the 1st of January, 2014 if Thaksin was not back in Thailand too. OR was that another PTP ministers promise we all knew would not come true?

Good idea GJ, if only B500,000 was what the government owed. Trouble is it's immensely more than that. These Udon jokers ought to donate the money to Kittirat's kitty for the farmers.

Plus, apparently the 15th has now been extended to the 25th?

[Satcommlee]

Dead or Alive??

[Gone]

do you think someone should tell them that they are not the law and that they cannot issue arrest warrants, poor demented f*ckwits but what can we expect from uneducated swill.

You are calling farmers names like this? Have you ever eaten food? It is these "uneducated swill" that feed your family and the rest of us. Learn how to show some respect to people and you might even be a person one day yourself cause you certainly ain't now.

Will the Country Bunters become Bounty Hunters ?

Space this watch

[Yunla]

So many toys have been thrown out of the pram now, I am starting to see it as a TARDIS pram, with some sort of quantum space / distributed-cluster-algebra powered interior. It looks like any other old pram on the outside, but more toys just keep flying out of it endlessly. Where's my block-transfer mathematics book, this requires further investigation.

Suthep should offer a fund of a million to assist rice farmers with planting their next crop

Yes I'm a mouthpiece! It's the one thing I have in common with Suthep!

[djjamie]

Next it will be posters hanging up around Thailand highlighting "Wanted. Dead or Alive"with a pic of Suthep below it. Maybe 20 paces at dawn with tear gas and water cannons will be a PTP request? Or my favorite from the Western movie, Silverado "We're gonna give you a fair trial, followed by a first class hanging." And going by Jatuporn's quotes in the past, I am sure it is close to the UDD paramilitary leaders mind.

Must be 1 million baht to bring the cause of all this problem back from Dubai then!!

He makes a lot more than that every day. And he's still an ugly baboon.
