16 injured in blast near anti-govt protest in Bangkok

[garrya]

Why would these people take their kids to rally sites? It's unbelievable.

A responsible mother/father should never do this.

Apparently, it happened next to BigC. They might have been just shopping.

It's not the first time when kids are involved.

True. In Trat kids at a market were killed in and injured. Do you want people to stop taking kids to markets too?

You haven't seen a Suthep rally, have you?

And just to asnwer your question: I would never buy noodles right next to a mob of disgruntled people.

There must be other places.

The red shirts have never said they will target any protestors with violence - please show me your links where it explicitly says violence will be used against protesters by red shirts.

RT@veen_NT: 5.25pm Nattawut: We are fir all-out battle although we don't have our stage in Bangkok yet. It will be our greatest fight.

RT@waanspeaking RT @nikhon_: (A) red shirt leader said on stage in Korat he/she was gratified by attack at PDRC Trat stage. Tida had to stop him/her.

Looks like their battle has started.

So yes, you have no links to any red shirts saying they will use violence against protestors.

Just as I thought you would not.

Looks like he might be a little red.

I'll bet *this* one doesn't get away!

This is the second time today i have had to remove more than half the posts to a topic.

Settle down and stop the hysterical red/yellow rants/baiting posts or I will give all concerned a posting holiday.

When i come on tomorrow morning, for the early news broadcast, the first post in the topics had better be something more substantial than flag waving.

Be warned.

I have seen a Suthep rally. Every day for the last 2 months. There is one on my doorstep.

The "disgruntled mob" are the ones attacking the protesters with bombs.

[Red Snake]

Instead of jumping the gun, wait until we know more about this guy they caught.

[LevelHead]

Its pretty awful in my opinion people are posting links of photos of people and accusing them of being bombers based on a Tweet on twitter.

How do you know they are bombers ? And if you do not know 100% you really should not be posting their photos and accusing them - that is defamatory against the people.

In my opinion.

read the breaking news from webfact. says he's a tuk tuk drive who parked and tuk tuk and bomb went off shortly there after, apparently.

2 violent attacks against peaceful protests and even markets in 2 days

We are still waiting for any sympathetic comment from PM and government

This is disgusting. This is Bankgok NOT Bagdhad people. This rubbish needs to stop now !

I already read that, it doesn't mean anything. the news actually read a tuk tuk driver parked his car. so people need to wait.

you would certainly not be so prone to wait should an event occur against a red rally!

I know you were hoping he or the other one caught were some 3rd party black shirt...anyways, probably lots of video cameras in that area to show who did what when. time to change the topic title, its 28 injured and counting.

Thai news is reporting 7 injured, 2 seriously. Out of the 7 three are children.

You have an opinion. Why not open those eyes a bit wider.

another dead child today - 5-6 years old at the latest bomb at Radjamri

The disgruntled mob wearing red shirts you mean??

Be careful you don't earn yourselves a posting holiday.

Looks like it's time for some background instigators to experience some pain and flee to Cambodia

[Why ask]

enough is enough, Suthep should go to the negotiating table NOW instead of inflaming the situation on a daily basis with his rhetoric.

You don't even know what rhetoric means..... time to become a Real Teacher, mai na?

[djjamie]

Sounds like a 5 or 6 year old boy was killed.

Anyone that pushes blame onto parents for the death of a son will be reported by me. I hope every poster that reads this does the same. Have some respect for the dead. You are only showing your true colors when you do what you do.

It is not the parents fault. It is the terrorists fault.

Shame.

Kids don't belong in protest areas, but they were not there for this reason:

Hopefully the government is waiting the situation to be clear before reacting. Unlike many posters on this thread!

If you believe that somehow the government will not condemn the death of children, I believe you are wrong.

[culicine]

A responsible mother/father should never do this.

These kids and parents were not necessarily part of the protest - read the story from yesterday. Those were noodle sellers and their kids. It was mentioned that today's blast was at or near a Big C. Again they could have been shoppers.

So far, nothing!

So I believe I am right!

That would be the red shirt way - if you dont like what they post - ban them!!!

Nope, I don't have the power to ban any poster. Only the mods. Half the posts on this thread has already been removed for being inflammatory and yours definitely qualifies as one.

For the love of truth, the picture is related to the 2010 Bangkok turmoils

[newcomer71]

It's time to put animals in jail, and for animals I mean all responsible of every vile and coward attack and terrorism act like have been yesterday and today.

Put also put to shut up all leaders from each side, kick them all in a sealed venue and force them to stay there until they will find a solution to this tragic situation.
