Popular Post Roadman Posted February 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2014 This series of attack rise question about the implication of the CMPO and gov . Chalerm said "attack likely continue against protester" Why he do nothing ? Why he let attacker continue their job ? Why I continue to blame protester then there are evidences about participation of "third party" ? Why he not stop UDD to provoke PRDC at LAKSI ? Simple answer. Suthep and the protesters are Thaksins, his government and Chalerm's enemy. The police are Thaksin's brought and paid for lackeys. The police are not going to do anything against a Thaksin enemy. This is Thailand, not a western democracy where the police are mostly politically unbiased. No wonder the protesters want the removal of this crap in government. That is what Chalerm has been leading to all along. Protest against Pheu Thai and you have no police protection. Its no co-incident that if a Red gets whacked then the police are all over with a result, but those who oppose Thaksin (as it has always been even through things like the Tsunami) suffer harm and they are on their own. Whats unbelievable is not the lack of police action but westerners think that these scum in power are democratic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post djjamie Posted February 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) You know your in a country controlled by a regime with the leader being a convicted criminal when protestors won't let police in to a crime scene because the police are controlled by the the convicted criminal on the run and will manipulate evidence quicker than votes. If the police came they would hide evidence, plant evidence then blame a PDRC suicide bomber for it. A principle of democracy is equal protection under the law. Yet another principle the PTP don't adhere too. They were elected though so that makes it all ok. Another YELLOW propaganda. The LEADER of the country is YINGLUCK and YINGLUCK us not a convicted criminal. Suthep and his croonies (even the shaddy monk) ARE CONVICTED CRIMINALS trying to escape justice by asking for a coup. "If the police came they would hide evidence, plant evidence then blame a PDRC suicide bomber for it. " So. according to you, all the police are against the protesters and would only plant evidence. Not inquire the crime. "A principle of democracy is equal protection under the law."?????????????? How about this: Suthep.jpg Or this: voter.jpg "They were elected (Abhisit and Suthep) though so that makes it all ok." How about the possibility that they don't want the police to enter the protest site out of fear that they would find a lot of ammunition? prot.jpg Nice reply and you have raised 2 very pertinent points. The PTP survive on perception. Yes yingluck is the leader, but the boss is the unelected criminal on the run. We all know Thaksin runs things, but the "yingluck is the leader" argument give a nice legitimate spin on the regime. This has to be believed lest the democratic legitimacy of the PTP breaks down into what it truly is. A regime run by an unelected convicted criminal. The PTP survive by blaming others. The police had arrest warrants out for Suthep for 4 weeks now. No arrest made despite knowing which hotel is stays in. Arrest warrants for all the other 38 leaders, but no arrests despite knowing which hotel they are staying in. If the perception (that PTP survival word again!) is the protestors are all violent then send the police in and arrest them. If they shot at you shoot back. Send the SWAT team in to arrest then? The PTP have the newly formed Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order. Surely firing an automatic weapon in the streets of Bangkok constitutes disrupting the Peace and Order. Send Chalerm in with his glasses and mustache to get the guy. Chalerm is all talk about catching these people, but nothing ever happens. So again the blame is transferred onto the protestors for the shortfalls of the PTP. Confucius said, “A gentleman blames himself, while a common man blames others.” I appreciate your comments and have enjoyed decimating them for why the PTP are still in power.

Yunla Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not to mention laying siege to Bangkok's streets and intersections, blocking off the offices of government, blocking access to election booths and blockading distribution of ballots in a free and open election....the list goes on and on. Of course they could all go home, no risk of grenades there, or protest publicly from street corners and the sidewalks or any of a number of internationally accepted means of demonstrating your ideas and issues and putting them on display, then voting in an election, but hey....why ruin the lawless fun.... But I do love all the little crocodile tears being shed here...all together now...kleenex! There's a big difference between not agreeing with the protests/overthrow movement, and not feeling sorry for people who are seriously injured. It is always easier to make jokes about other people who are in Critical Care Units, than it is to spend time in the CCU yourself. Surgery and drugs in hospital are no fun, and neither are the lifelong complications you can get from damage to internal organs. As the old saying goes ; "its easy to be philosophical when its some other person who is suffering." On the internet a lot of people are very cruel towards injured and dying people, but those web pundits sing a very different song when it is they themselves laying on the blue rubber sheet in agony. I personally disagree with the protests lasting for months and turning into an overthrow/kidnap movement, blocking voters, and with beating voters. They should have protested the amnesty in November then gone home, having made a very powerful statement. But it also saddens me greatly when the protestors are injured.

englishoak Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) "sigh" More injuries, hope they recover soon. A few observations, these M 79s attacks at this site are probably made by the same group all the time and the site is a very poor choice as it gives many options of attack from outside. The perimeter isnt patrolled by security services or police, the army cound be doing it but oooo surprise they arnt ....ooo the guards arnt either surprise, surprise. The police arn't welcome inside or out and cannot function around the perimeter with the guards inside being jumpy the police would either get the blame for any attack or be shot at when guards panic no point even asking the police to patrol outside its just not healthy, the cctv isnt being shared with police either. Don't blame the police on this one they are not wanted Even Suthep has suggested they move due to its vulnerability, its tragic more are getting hurt but isnt it time to either let the police help or move ? preferrable that they go home and the robed bloke that is acting nothing like a monk hands himself in to authorities, staying will likely only cause more to be hurt.

Rich teacher Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not sure but possibly the same reason they did sweet FA in 2010 when some other bunch of protesters set up huge barricades and closed parts of central Bangkok. In 2010 there were a minimum of 5,000 protesters 24 hours a day that's why. These protest sites are largely deserted. I agree with pipkins. At 5 a.m. bring in a few hundred cops, dismantle the stage & open the thoroughfare. If they put it back up do it again the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halion Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It would be a refreshing change if either the writers or the editor checked the salient facts. The maximum range of a M79 is in fact around 400 meters and the effective range is 350 meters and not 100 meters as stated. This is rather critical as should the authorities use the 100 meter error to determine the perimeter search then they will be well short. Furthermore the M79 has a most distinct sound signature which would be clearly audible at 100 meters depending on ambient noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleeing Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 At this stage we don't know who shot the grenades. Suthep and the terrorist protesters have made so many enemies over the last few months, it could be anyone. Business interests have lost millions of Baht, hardcore red shirts, hard core yellow shirts, unpaid yellow shirt protesters, blocked voters, the list goes on. Hopefully they can catch and identify whoever is responsible for this cowardly act. But in any case, this is Thailand and if you play with fire, you will get burned. terrorist protester: someone who demonstrates for or against a political cause, while being under the impression that it is a democratic right, and is repeatedly targeted by bullets and grenades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketnut Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 40+ attacks on the protestors over the past 3 months, but still not a single arrest... some need to read the article again.

Behaviour like that is not human. Given his past, it is my belief that all these attacks are being arranged by Thaksin's chief thug, Police Lt. General Kamronwit. That is why he was promoted personally by Thaksin. This character was involved in the disappearance of the Human Rights lawyer who disappeared ten years ago. It is also why the police keep blaming the protesters for hurting themselves. I stress that this is my opinion but I believe that I am right in my assessment. Forget the police, They are Thaksin's private army and until the Shinawatra family is thrown out of Thailand, the police cannot be reformed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why I continue to blame protester then there are evidences about participation of "third party" ? Why he not stop UDD to provoke PRDC at LAKSI ? Why not go home? What a completely fatuous remark. The reason why Chalerm has stated that the attacks are likely to continue is because he knows who is organising them - the Thai Police under the orders of the Bangkok Metropolitan Police Chief. No wonder most Thais have absolutely no respect for them. Most of the RTP are utter garbage and it goes right down to the lower levels. An example: I was in my car one evening recently after leaving my office and waiting to turn left into Suriwongse Road on my way home. Heavy traffic of course. The policeman in the booth on the corner of Rama IV and Suriwongse stopped a motorcycle taxi drive with a pretty young girl on the back not wearing a helmet, obviously on her way to her evening job by the look of her attire. When the policeman took the keys of the motorcycle, the expression on the girl's face was one of utter contempt. Her lip just curled up and the look on her face was one of hatred. I must say, I cannot blame her. I have exactly the same opinion. There are some really good people in the RTP but they are completely hidden by the crass corruption of a very large number of very bad ones. Unfortunately, under Thaksin, only the very bad ones get promoted while the good ones are left to languish in obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl was breaking the law as was the motorcycle taxi, in any other country youd be expected to turn off the engine and get off the bike and then probably be arrested if a licensed taxi and lose the licence, both the driver and the passenger fined and probably a good few hours wasted doing all this. what in your example would to suggest is the correct thing to do, ignore them or let them drive off as ive seen so many do.

I do not know where you are living in Thailand or how long you have been here, and nor do I care, but I live in Bangkok and have done so for over 30 years. The number of Thais I know who have told me over the years how much they hate the police numbers in the thousands. Under Maslow's theory, if one person tells someone something, ten more will be told the same thing each of whom will tell ten more each and so on ad infinitum. Accordingly, I would guess that a very large number of Thais have absolutely no respect for the RTF as a force. They are simply too corrupt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
