Popular Post DLock Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 Bit late for that dead policeman trying to take back the protestors sites under the Emergency Decree ordered by Chalerm today.

gemini81 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) interesting that EC lift it immediately after 3 police are allegedly dead by the hands of the demonstrators. It was not needed and unjustified clear back last month. Well orchestrated by Thaksin- I know such organization of playing martyr cannot be done by his little show pony sister, nor Chalerm. They're still on the streets at the government house. All well set up via skype. Not too badly planned, compared to the rice scam and the other PTP graft.

Robby nz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Does that mean that Chalerm and Tarit have to pull their heads in ? Could it mean that what they are doing right now is illegal ? It could well be as they are claiming to be working under the SOE. Possibly it will be illegal from the moment the court lifted the SOE. Will also mean that the media are no longer working under threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AleG Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 I don't think the crackdown being launched the same day the verdict was scheduled is a coincidence. The government wants the SoE to stay. Least we forget the SoE was first declared following the grenade attacks against the anti-government protestors, the justification being that the protest had turned violent. Yes, there's something very wrong about that scenario. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Just1Voice Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 Amazing Thailand. You have gun battles in the streets, with grenades and other explosions, people on both sides being injured and killed, and there is "no emergency" as stated by the courts? What country are the Judges living in? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are dirty, violent, attempting to overthrow an elected government and insert themselves back in power. if there was ever proof that an emergency existed you only needed to follow the actions of Suthep and the sedition movement on the streets of Bangkok today. The city and it's people are less safe without the SEO in place and the looneys are empowered. Edited February 18, 2014 by LadPhrao123 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post djjamie Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 It is well acknowledged that the emergency decree was not needed and for the UDD to compare it to the emergency decree in 2010 is like comparing apples and oranges. The sad thing is the senseless deaths of the poor policemen and the injuries are now solely on the hands of chalerm and yingluck. Had the emergency decree not been implemented none of this senseless lose of life would have happened. I look forward to chalerm and yingluck on murder charges alongside Abhisit and Suthep. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scamper Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 This is an enormous victory and a decisive slap in the face to Chalerm. It also happens to be the right and just decision. Chalerm's emergency decree was a sham from start to finish. If anything, the nightly grenade attacks against the protesters became even more brazen and frequent. The police became even more invisible and incapable - though more likely unwilling - of changing any of that. Chalerm's big gambit to stifle the media has now completely capitulated, and has undoubtedly erupted in the spontaneous applause and wild hoots from every television anchor and TV news staff in the country. It means the detentions are gone. It means all arrests made under the name of the emergency decree are gone. It means all charges made against the leaders through the emergency decree are gone. In the words of the court the emergency decree was unlawfully imposed. It means that this administration will finally be charged through the Constitution Court of unlawfully issuing an emergency decree under a caretaker capacity, and within ten days of a national election - a circumstance without historical precedent in the world's free societies, and something that not even Robert Mugabe would have had the gumption to dare. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
