Thai Court issues arrest warrants for 19 PDRC leaders

[rwhoov]

In what other country can a mob take over THE major international airport with no attempt to prevent its seizure? And then arrest NO ONE? What other country lets the sitting Prime Minister be attacked while his car is stopped at a red light? What other country allows ANYONE to block a major intersection for weeks on end? What other country lets a city sit in virtual gridlock and ignore virtually all "No Parking" areas while standing at the corner fining those riding motorcycles without helmets? Prediction: Suthep will remain at large because he has his own guards, and no one knows how to un-arm thugs and make a simple arrest. This country will go to pot before the police do anything.

Does anybody wonder about the "INVISIBLE HAND' behind this mob and its leaders? Could it be that Thai people know what is BEHIND a lot of this that expats have no clues at all. I know in my village that there is plenty of gossip as to why these arrest warrants are not able to be executed.

I wait and watch and hope that those in the southern areas can get back to a normal life - everything seems to be in place in the north if the madman, bankrupt, great leader gets his way for a non-elected ruling committee and tries to turn Thailand into a North Korean style system - the North and North Eastern Provinces and others will have no option but to BREAK FREE.

They have not bothered enforcing hundreds of warrants in the past on the same people. What makes you think that this will be any different?

We all know that taking out the leaders will create a meltdown of the situation.

The main reason why they have not enforced them in the first place.

You've never played chess or watched Game of Thrones. Never get in your opponents way while he's busy building his own scaffold or tying the knot in his own noose. With the election the tide has shifted now in favor of the government.

uuhhh

Not really buddy. if you analyze the info that is available on the Feb 2 election you will notice that things are not going very well for PT. Very low voter turnout and a lot of No Vote.

Anyhow, let's welcome the farmers.

Many moves yet to be played, behind the scenes, on the streets, in the media.

No one's calling it check mate, just good news and another move in the government's favor...

But personally I would rather be playing the government's hand over time than their unworthy opposition.

Unless the fix is in somewhere, it's hard to see the government losing on the merits of the overwhelming need of re-establishing a functional government, resolving the farmer's issues and putting the country back on track while boxing up the bozos for political recycling. Eventually the cold hard facts have to be hitting the CC, the X factor and the dawdling EC. They've overplayed their hand and they've got nothing to offer the country except street vendors with t-shirts and whistles. Again, imho.

This government cannot solve their own problems and put the country back on track. Anyhow, the country has been of track starting shortly after Yingluck became PM.

This is MHO

If there is one thing I have learnt in the last few months it is an arrest warrant is just a suggestion to the police.
