Sound of ticking time bombs is getting louder for Yingluck

I really don't understand why people always say Taksin was corrupt and so were others.. just go after all of them its not an excuse not to do something. Seems to be for red supporters, i say go after all corruption whatever color. But right now that means go after PTP corruption because they are in government. Its only logical that the party in government is the one that has to be checked.

Just to illustrate how dumb the Taksin is corrupt but so are others is.

Suppose someone drives through a red light and others do too.. does that mean you should not go after any of them. That way you can make all the rules that you want but with nobody ever obeying them they are useless. That someone else also does it did not make the first red right jumper any less guilty. Its a favorite excuse of those who break the law.. point a finger but they....

Going after all of them is the best option, but it the case of the military government that charged Thaksin and oversaw his conviction, that would have required going after a great many, perhaps all, of their senior officers. As has been stated many times before, Suthep is clearly corrupt and Abhisit did little to reign in corruption when he was Prime Minister. The hypocrisy of these two leading a protest crying "corruption" is amazing.

In your traffic light example, what if the police only went after people of a certain color? It's called selective justice, and by demonstrating that some people are above the law and others aren't it divides society. Often it is worse than no justice at all.
