Popular Post whybother Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 1. The police must kill the protesters that fire weapons at them, they are justified in shooting back with live Ammo. 2. Once they arrest these 'protesters' most of whom are PAID to protest, and most of whom are armed with weapons, they must keep them in detention so they don't come back and cause more mayham. Based on 2010, the authorities aren't justified in using guns regardless of what the protesters are using. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post siampolee Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 So at last we see the fruits of the Chalerm comments concerning violence.If the police farce force had actually been capable of actually fulfilling and discharging their duties in the first place, or truth been known allowed to do their duty properly in the first place rather than expecting the military to act this current situation would not have arisen. The credibility of the P.T.P which was at zero has now disappeared into a deep abyss of deceit and distrust with no chance of rescue. These current ongoing actions will sadly fan the flames of discontent. I've said before that the fuse is burning slowly, however it now seems as if that fuse is burning even quicker now to the explosive charged and packed barrel of public discontent.. I fear that the blood price for the actions of the Shinwatra clan will be a tragic price to pay both politically and socially and we shall end up with a damaged and flawed society courtesy of the Dubai based megalomaniac and his cronies. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scamper Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) " At Chaengwattana site, the police moved in with teargas firing, protesters sat down and prayed with no resistance. At Pan Fah bridge, police form the Second Region Provincial Police were seen firing at protesters with shotguns. Many protesters were injured and several ambulances were seen moving into the area to take the injured to hospitals. " This ugly, ugly administration is now showing it and Thakin's true colours. Protesters that were sitting and praying have had canisters of tear-gas thrown at them, and other protesters have been shot at by police, as reporters are now witnessing. Chalerm was obviously very upset yesterday. He was humiliated. What we are seeing now is the true face of Chalerm in action - pitting Thai people against Thai people. He is a coward, and a bully. And he has perpetrated a great sin today. These images are being broadcast all around the world. They are not subject to the Yingluck administration's spin. They show a savage, savage administration, that has over-reached in their response alarmingly. The army is watching, and one's guess is that they will not be able to tolerate this much longer. This administration is out of control, and is at war with its own people. Edited February 18, 2014 by Scamper 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mackie Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 Spin is not going to work. The police wanted violence. According to all reports the police started firing first on unarmed people. So what do you expect? I wouldn't be surprised that all those police officers were taken down by their own in order to justify their own violence. That's Shinawatras modus operandi. Lies, spin and more spin. They simply don't care killing their own. The end justifies the means. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkdave1220 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 about time this garbage was cleared up. police have snipers in place also. must be close to time for them to be given the order. can only hope that the violence is well contatined now. seems to be a small area and most of the mob are corralled in it. obvious even from bluesky and nation that military grade weapons been fired from PDRC. good idea for it to be live on TV, can see who is the bad guys now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
