AleG Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I have lost track of how many "grenade" reported bombings there have been in the last week or so. But tell me, o wise ones, is the term "grenade" being used in error by low intelligence level reporters, or do they now sell grenades at the local 7-Elevens in Bangkok? If so why not supply the security guards with several to lob back at the original attacker. Honest to goodness grenades, were do they get them? I don´t knowñ but there have not been any further details about the group of people arrested a few days ago carrying the same type of grenades as have been used.

Moruya Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 From a member 20 minutes ago: Thai news reports bomb attack at Victory Monument. An unknown man was seen throwing two bombs in to crowds of people. The protesters tried to apprehend the assailant but were shot at it. Source was Nation TV. More reason for the guards to be permitted to be armed. Do people seriously expect the protesters to whistle at an armed attacker? I hope they get him and expose him for what he is.... A THAKSIN paid terrorist. Nang Sue police charged PDRC guards found w/ large fireworks, machete, rifle ammos And haven't managed too catch a single person in over 30 bombing and shooting attacks on the protesters Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because they have been freed because they said they didn't do anything wrong and that the 4 grenades and ammo were just for personal protection and the police accepted this without delay and issued a statement that these people were totally innocent of all and any involvement in attacks on protesters and they had 'honorable' intentions. This is why the police are NOT trusted. Personally I hope that the entire police force is replaced once Suthep wins, and he will win. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moruya Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 With the increased security measures after yesterday's grenade attack it is very surprising that an armed assailant can wander into the area (very close to the stage) & throw a grenade, before escaping. Making anyone wonder? Yes. Wonder what use the police are to anyone Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked past there just after 10am and then again at just after 12.30pm. There were far fewer protesters at 12.30pm than at 10.15am. did they know something we didn't?

They don't want to catch them. Only time any intervention was when it really was the reds and the police and army moved straigh in at cheang wattana It's pretty obvious (idiotic actually to suggest) that the protestors are doing this to themselves as well as the shooting at the Dem headquarters and the grenades and other warnings issued to Abhisit, Sukhumband and other protest leaders. The perps haven't been caught because of a corrupt, one-sided and incompetent police. The red mob from Pathum Thani were the attackers in Chaeng Wattana. No one really knows what group or individuals are responsible for all the violent & murderous acts and I'm not about to accuse anyone which can only be driven by hatred of one side. That includes 'poisonous' above too. Edited January 19, 2014 by khunken 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSnapper Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Where were the police when all this was going on ? Someone throwing some sort of bomb then running or riding a motorbike shooting at those chasing him. Surely there must have been some cops somewhere along his escape route. If there were a police as in more civilized countries, there were no road blocks and stages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Another blast wounds 28 Suthep supportersBANGKOK: Twenty eight people were injured in a bomb explosion at the Victory Monument anti-government protest rally site at about 1.34pm, media reports said.One of the 28 wounded is Sithinee Huangnak, a reporter for Post Today newspaper, who was admitted to nearby Ratchawithi Hospital. Ms Sithinee was later transferred to Phyathai Hospital 2 hospital.The other wounded were rushed to Ramathibodi and Phra Mongkut hospitals, the reports said.Thaworn Senneam, a former Democrat MP and core PDRC co-leader in charge at the Victory Monument rally stage, said an unidentified man threw an explosive device near a press centre tent behind the rally stage and ran off. He was chased by security guards and protesters, prompting him to toss another bomb.But the group continued to try to catch him and the man fired a shot at them, leaving at least one person injured, before fleeing on a motorcycle driven by another man, heading toward Tuek Chai intersection.It was believed the bomb thrower was one of six assailants at the scene. Mr Thaworn believes the bomber was targeting him as the bomb exploded only 20 metres away from where he was standing. Before the incident, guards spotted a suspicious-looking man and asked him to leave the protest venue.A group of suspicious men later were seen scouting at the back of the rally stage, he said.It is not yet known whether the explosive device was a grenade like the one used in Friday's attack.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/another-blast-wounds-28-suthep-supporters-44103.php -- Phuket News 2014-01-19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seajae Posted January 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2014 after sitting on the sidelines for a few days I have really noticed how the reds in here are really sprouting a lot of garbage about the protesters doing to themselves and trying desperately to turn the eyes of everyone away from the reds/ptp/police. Actually sounds as if some of them have a bit more knowledge about what is really happening or are on the payroll to turn eyes away from the real culprits, The more they continue to try to blame the people for killing themselves the more guilty they look as do the ones they are trying to protect. This is really looking like the work of thaksins groupies as in 2010, cant wait for him to have an international arrest warrant issued by an honest govt and his sister/ptp all put where they belong(inside, beside him, oh joy!!!!!!!!!!!! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
