Thai military concerned with violence during Feb 2 general election

[englishoak]

The army should not be protecting people that are trying to violate basic democratic rights such as the right to vote or the right to run for office. These people should be arrested on the spot by the police, who were absent last Sunday (or so it seemed). As a result over 400.000 advanced voters were unable to exercise their constitutional right to cast their votes.

Exercising your democratic right to protest doesn't mean you are allowed to take away other People's rights and break the law.

The government should ensure that no protestors would be able to close down polling stations and that no protestors should be able to block voters from reaching these polling stations.

We'll Bomb people, shoot people, beat people, rob people and I gnore the courts. But don't you dare get in our way of voting. dam_n it! living ain't a right, it's a privilege. Voting is a right.

Asshat!

Well done your catching on, wars have been fought throughout history for the right to a voice and many have been prepared to die for that cause. Don't expect people to put up with it being taken away without a fight.

Find a way through talks and compromise is the only solution, so says the world and if Suthep refuses to listen he will be spat out as have all those in history that have tried before him.
