Bomb attack on Abhisits home

[tingtongteesood]

Thaksin and his red minion army is getting restless! He's thinking, they are doing!

Suthep and his yellow zombies escalating the situation in an attempt to achieve their twisted objectives.

(really... these kinds of posts are painful & should be banned)

And your posts blaming Sutheb for everything are just dumb and boring...

[Mentors]

Together with protesters from the South maybe some other people from the deep South have arrived in Bkk...

[Ulysses G.]

I just pity on all the yellow and red sheep on this forum. That's all.

I don't understand foreigners who get all worked up, supporting one side or another, when BOTH sides are so f*cked up.

Assailant hurls bomb into former PM Abhisit's home, no injuries reported
By Digital Content



BANGKOK, Jan 15 – An unknown assailant hurled a bomb into the home of Democrat Party leader and former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva at Bangkok's affluent Sukhumvit area, damaging the home but there was no report of injuries.

Police said the assailant trhrew the bomb over the net fence on Phrom Sri lane into Mr Abhisit's home in Soi Sukhumvit 31 at around 11.30pm.

The explosion damaged the roof and shattered windows. It was unknown what kind of bomb was used in the attack, but explosives experts later inspected the scene and bomb fragments are being inspected to identify the explosive device.

At the time of the attack, Mr Abhisit and his family members were not at home, but a housekeeper was there caring for the home.

The police were to inspect the CCTV footage to seek more clues on the assailants.

In other activity, at around midnight, two protesters of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) were shot while staying overnight at Hua Chang Bridge in the Pathum Wan area.

Witnesses said gunmen opened fire from a highrise building near the bridge into a group of protesters who were resting there.

The gunshots continued for around 20 minutes.

One protester identified as Thossapol Ngarmlamai, 35, was shot in the head and ankle, while another, identified as Samlee Thongkaew, 45, was frightened and fainted. Both were sent to hospital.

In a related incident, a bus carrying protesters of the Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand (NSPRT) from southern provinces to Bangkok was torched while parking at Nang Lerng Horse Racing Course.

Police inspected the scene where the double-decker Chanasit Tour company bus with Phattalung license plates was set on fire at around 1.30am.

The bus was largely destroyed by the fire and a gallon of gasoline was found at the scene.

Ampai Saengprateep, 45, a Phattalung bus driver, said he was sleeping aboard vehicle after joining the protest every day since Sunday.

He told police that he noticed smoke and found the fire burning the tyres so he called guards at the race course to help put out the fire. (MCOT online news)

This is just the start of the violence.

And the yellow shirts will have to remember that they've brought it on themselves.

They are a minority trying to impose unelected rulers that will represent the interests of the Bangkok elite onto the poor majority.

The funny thing is that the poor uneducated naive southern rubber farmers (to say the least) don't get it

All those supporting Suthep and the Dems must be real dreamers

Sent from my iPhone...

Things will not have an end until will have a so deep polarization and team against team.

We foreigner can just observe and give opinions, ideas, but some of posters here seem a yellow or red hooligans. Too much passion wasted for two groups of crooks, corrupt and manipulating politicians.

Very inaccurate.

The protesters are not all yellow shirts, nowhere near. The protest started because people reacted to a corrupt government trying to sneak a bill through parliament that would, among other things, completely whitewash the criminal conviction and serious outstanding criminal charges of one particular person who happens to be the brother of the now caretaker PM/DM and alleged de facto government boss. Many were also greatly concerned by the proposed 2.2 trillion loan, which the government wanted to take off budget without parliamentary controls and the misappropriation of funds associated with the rice and water management schemes. Add to this the blatant in your face lies and dismissive arrogance displayed by certain PTP individuals and threats against free speech and its easy to see why so many sections of society were outraged.

The protest may or may not have subsequently been hi-jacked dependent on your point of view,

Look at the results of the last election. The numbers of actual votes for and against PTP are much closer than you try to portray. PTP had a larger minority which because of the election system translated into a large majority of seats in parliament. Since taking power they have shown over and over that they only represent their own interests, throwing the odd bone to the poor when needed.

You must also think that the Red Shirts brought violence upon themselves too, no double standards. So in your book, violence is permitted if the victims "bring it on themselves". Interesting view.

I doubt anyone should be surprised by this violence when Suthep is trying to over throw a Government that was elected by nearly 50% of the voting population. You are always going to get some crazies, all sides have them. Amazing that someone would go to the risk of throwing a grenade at the head of the Democrat Party's house without bothering to check whether anyone was actually home. Unless of course it was a false flag attack designed to instigate the army to come out.

 

BS, it was 30% despite the cronies who keep getting banned for electoral fraud they could only skew the results to 30%. And most of the 'crazies' are attacking anti government protestors in case you didn't notice. Don't try and make excuses for them. False flag attack my ass and the anti government demonstrators DO NOT want the army involved, how many god dam_n times does it have to be said ?! Now stop spreading crap and stick to facts please....

The advice would perhaps be better applied to a mirror in your case - PT took 48.41% of votes cast in the election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_general_election,_2011

As per normal democratic processes, the votes of those who do not cast a vote are not counted.

I'm at a loss here to understand why those who support Suthep - for whatever reason - feel the need to be so rantingly aggressive all the time. I guess it's a feature of the hard right wing worldwide but it does your arguments no favors. And in this case calm logic and facts do seem to be on the side of those who disagree with this fast imploding "shutdown".

I don't agree with what happened at Abhisit's home but it was clearly a rogue element at work and it pales next to abhorrent threats by Suthep and his student thugs to abduct the PM and others, and cause aviation mayhem.

[EBlair48]

^ But didn't the entire House vote for it? Wouldn't it have also pardoned Abhisit? Didn't Yingluck veto it?

Suthep needs to be stopped, and now, I really would support violence in apprehending him, perhaps just talented sniper employed. He will just go further and further until he seizes total power. He is very much like a leader of another highly nationalistic socialist party ca 1930's .

[Tim1980]

Strangely Bombs could only damage trash bin, flower pots & a hole on a roof, my fart could do lot better then that so did the insurance company drop by to fix house. Looks like its time to do some restoration.

[Baerboxer]

I just read a report in the Post that they release the 4. So don't hang them just yet.

I guess they had their PTP "Get Out of Jail Free" cards - sort of like a mini-amnesty I hear.

Another stupid remark.

Why is it stupid? If the perps are pro government, and the RTP are openly pro government (and not exactly known for their unbiased effective law enforcement), then maybe it's not such a stupid comment.

You can run over and kill a cop here, or drive your car into innocent people at a bus stop, or drive underage without a licence or insurance and kill several people, or shoot someone in the face filmed on cctv - and get off scot free or with minimal punishment. Would any thing be surprising?

With the number of bombings during these peaceful demonstrations and the conduct of the redshirts in 2010, I think we know which side always resorts to violence.

Of course occupying an international airport and calling for the capture and kidnapping of government officials is so "peaceful." I agree the behavior of the Red Shirts in 2010 was abhorrent, but they do represent the elected majority of the country. Why does that fact seem to elude the so called "Democrat" party?

[EBlair48]

Abhisit, Wasn't he the guy in 2010 that ordered the killing of the protestors taking refuge in a temple? Or was that Suthep?

These Thai despots are all looking the same to me, lately.

Yeah, Abhisit, The Annihilator.

Bomb, large firecracker, ping-pong ball, ( what- shot out from a bar girl? ) loud fart, lousy building codes... Who knows?

The Nation(alist) is the Thai equivalent to USA's Fox News, totally partisan, totally unreliable. There was a fake letter from former PM Surin reprinted two days ago, they had to yank it - without any kind of disclosure, either.

Any posts based on that paper's reports should have automatic warnings as to authenticity- the details ( alleged) of Thaksin's Skype phone call with Yingluck comes to mind.

"Abhisit, Wasn't he the guy in 2010 that ordered the killing of the protestors taking refuge in a temple? Or was that Suthep?"

No, and No.

Yet he was indicted for murder. In fact he is just about the official in this entire fiasco to actually have criminal charges pending against him.

Seems he's the one that needs to be banned pending that trial outcome.

However I happen to believe it was actually Suthep who was responsible.

No Yingluck didn't veto it. The contentious amnesty whitewash bill will be returned to parliament when the 180 days are up and can then be pushed through.

Other versions of the bill were killed off, and YL has promised not to resurrect this one. Problem is, she's been caught lying before and has a propensity for doing u-turns, as bother changes his mind.

But, seeing as how you condone murder without trial, I guess that wouldn't bother you.

Why don't we wait for the trial? And then the following trial of Yingluck for the deaths in 2013/4. And maybe the AG will final reveal his decision after the months he's taking reviewing whether Thaksin should be charged for financing and inciting the 2010 terrorist insurgency. His predecessor decided not to prosecute, despite admitting there was enough evidence, as he was out of the country! Perhaps the new AG is more tech savvy and realizes these days someone could even run the government whilst outside the country - oh my, that's already happening too.

He has been indicted because he allowed the army to be armed.

But did he order any killing? Particularly, did he order any killing of people in the wat?

Look at Suthep mental state. He wants to captive the PM, threathing her 10 year old son, breaking and entering government facilities. He could very well have ordered the killings. But he afraid to fact the judge so who knows.

Well the Reds did try to drag him out of his car at Parliament and kill him in 2010 (I think) in full view of the police who were just standing around letting the chaos continue so the risk involved this time was minimal by comparison. But as you say, this could quite easily be a fake attack. Who knows? there is so much bullshit from both sides it is impossible to know what is for real.

[EBlair48]

I do not condone murder- with or without a trial. I wish Abhisit to face his charges stemming from that Temple incident , certainly.

^ But didn't the entire House vote for it? Wouldn't it have also pardoned Abhisit? Didn't Yingluck veto it?

[Loles]

Why is almost everything in TH a big show business.

Like this.

Bomb attack.

I hope you never have to learn about what does mean: bomb attack.

[newermonkey]

I thought there were police parked outside Abhisit's house 24/7.

Yes, but you might also know that the Thai police are usually Taksin, Red shirt commy supporters. so I would imagine they may turn a blind eye.

I believe it is both sides using violence not just one.

I don't think either side is using violence. Rather, what we have are opportunistic asshats taking it upon themselves and engaging in idiotic behaviour.

One not need show a direct order. All that need be proven is that he gave orders such that they would result in death or injury, knowing that would be the outcome. It is however, difficult to prove, unless someone kept minutes of the meetings and participants give testimony to that effect. As this isn't Germany circa 1942, I don't think we are in for a repeat of something like the details of the Wannsee meetings coming out.

[Jasun]

Are they guilty? None of them are pointing at anything.
