Yingluck condemns violence in Trat, Ratchaprasong

[whybother]

Well done Yingluck. This message has been reported all over the English and Thai media so everyone knows.

Its just 4 years now, but still waiting for Abhisit and Suthep to apologise for the murders of innocent red shirts and bystanders in 2010..............

Abhisit did, after a fashion, in his interview with the BBC.

He said, "unfortunately, some people died".

And that is probably the best you are going to get from that emotionless s.o.b

Abhisit went on TV and "expressed regret" hours after the deaths on April 10, 2010. He didn't hide away and have his staff post on facebook.

You forgot to mention the difference. Abhisit government faced an armed insurrection. In this particular case, the side you support, killed in cold blood considerable number of innocent people and children. Completely unarmed and harmless people.

[smedly]

FB is a "social" media chat room, it is definitely not the medium by which a countries PM should address a Nation

She should have at least made an official TV broadcast, she should also have condemned those in Korat for cheering such a deplorable terrorist act and immediately sacked any MP's involved or supporting such an act

What sort of people throw grenades and fire automatic assault rifles at families - women and children holding an event at a local market - it's a shame that we will never find out who perpetrated this heinous act of terrorist cowardly violence

A 5 year old blown up by a grenade - are we really getting our heads round this

[aussieinthailand]

Nor did she make any effort to disassociate herself or her party from the organization that planned and carried out this cowardly attack.

WHAT A STEAMING PILE OF......

She called the perpetrator's terrorists and need to be punished regardless of what side they are on..... Now as posted previously by another here, What dose your hero Suthep label the popcorn shooter? answer, a popcorn vendor, you want to see an effort to "disassociate" of politician's from these killers and thugs, first look in your own back yard, and ask why Suthep does not do as you say should happen, smells of hypocrisy.

Cut out all forms of protests, have no government and air your views on Face book,

[bigbamboo]

Condemed the attacks... on Face-f***ing-book??? A Prime Minister? You're not even qualified to be prime poo! You know what... why don't you just get the hell out of wherever you are? Join your brother in the Middle East, whatever. One kid has died, another one is brain-dead. And all you could do is go on FB. Apart from some snide or sarcastic remarks, I have refrained from outrightly condemning you all this while, but it seems with the latest rounds of actions from you, particularly this one, you've done so yourself. Brilliantly. You're nickname shouldn't be 'crab'. It should end instead with a 'P'.

I know YL has no time to read this forum, so if any of her supporters here can pass the message along, that would be swell.

Beg to differ she has all the time in the world to read it. She is not doing much else. The occasional prewriten speech by some one other than her self which she has not even taken the time to look over.

I highly doubt she even knows how to use Facebook probably has a committee to do it for her.

But I'm sure she would still be the chairperson of that committee though...... even if she wasn't actually there.

Anger and violence is part and parcel in Thailand, Scholars at school armed with knives---local gigs-kids armed with machetes on M/cycles--road rage--red shirt villages--for what ?? big lack of parental care for kids--high cases of domestic abuse together with known family rapes---

It is all to do with good governance-and good upbringing--in most cases.

You seriously need to consider visiting a mental health professional if you are prepared to draw analogies between two events.

Let me kindly remind you. So called popcorn shooters only acted to defend protesters in Lak Si area. According to all acounts red shirt militants led by Koo-Tee or whatever 'marched' on Lak Si in order to confront protesters there. They were armed. They opened fire first. They were met with the resistance. So putting the sign of equality between two events is ridiculuous to say at least. Give me one example when PDCR supporters attacked or threw hand grenades on completely unarmed and innocent people?

Maybe you actually wanted Koo-Tee and his militants to slaughter few dozen PDCR protesters in Lak Si but so called popcorn shooters prevented them. Perhaps you are angry with them because they stopped another massacre of unarmed people? Right?

Thanks Yingluck for showing good leadership - bombing and violence must be condemned no matter what the colour of the shirt

[fish fingers]

from what a thai marine has told me, the popcorn shooters were under orders to protect the protestors and took out any marksmen that were firing or fatally wounding - so in effect they actually saved many lives ! The good guys for sure!

[BuddyPinkham]

Governance by Facebook. How interesting!

[fish fingers]

Thanks Yingluck for showing good leadership - bombing and violence must be condemned no matter what the colour of the shirt

and when she cries on TV you believe her too

[aussieinthailand]

I admire her, she has branded these killers as terrorists.

Unlike Suthep who glorifies his killers as "his popcorn vendors".

He even says he admires them and that he likes their actions ...which basically means, he supports and encourages murder.

I am a 50 year old male who has seen some things that I wish that I hadn’t and hope that I will never see the likes of again.

I have watched friends dying on a battlefield (Falklands) and seen the immediate aftermath of an IRA bomb.

Even though I have become hardened to certain situations, I cried when I read about these cowardly attacks, the reaction at the red shirt rally and Yingluck’s pathetic response.

While the normal people were shedding tears for these children and trying to take all of this in, you first reaction is how can I justify this act on Thai Visa.

Shame on you.

Respect for vet's brothers in arms,

sorry mate in the post's you are referring to here I see no effort in trying to "justify this act".

but I do agree that those that take joy in the death and destruction and injury of others is disgusting... The point being made was in no way a justification just a point of fact of Suthep and (some) of his supports, YL has RIGHTLY denounced them as terrorist acts, Suthep say's he admires them and likes their actions, popcorn shooter and those like him, also the video of the grenade kicking policeman and the protester laughing and flipping the bird at the victims,

now brother regardless of which side you or I support, with a fair and open mind you can see the difference between the opposing statements?

cheers

[BuddyPinkham]

Did she post a tearful selfie together with her statement?

No, she is waiting for a new one (having many taken in order to chose the right {fashionable} look).

[binjalin]

Yingluck Shinawatra visited Rayong on Sunday 23^rd February to pay respects to the heroic police officer who lost his life at the Phan Fah protest clearance on Tuesday

For all you who love slamming her - she attended the funeral yesterday and was NOT hiding behind FB

[binjalin]

she did not "hide away" she attended a funeral of a serving Police Officer so i think you should apologise for misinformation

[smedly]

someone explain to me how you can have a PM condemning an act of terrorism and have members of her government endorsing and supporting such an act openly on Television

The saying re left arm right arm ??? would you say lack of uniformity even in corruption--policy--northern expression in the UK---they are puddled.

[whybother]

She hadn't been seen in public for at least 4 days, I believe, until she posted on Facebook that she had been at the funeral. I call that hiding away.

Well done Yingluck. This message has been reported all over the English and Thai media so everyone knows.

First you start off with an unsupported claim.

Anything can be said when the claim is unsupported. I could rebut that and say "This message has been reported all over the English and Thai media yet no one watched it or read it". It is as plausible as your claim. You said everyone knows? Is that everyone in Bangkok? Everyone in Thailand? Everyone in the world? Without a supporting link we are unable to extract the essence of who "everyone" is.

Secondly you continue with a complex question fallacy.

That is a question which contains a controversial or unjustified assumption. In other worlds a presumption of guilt. You are assuming AV and Suthep are already guilty of murder. There has not been a court case yet? These questions or statements in your case are used as rhetorical tools. The question attempts to limit direct replies to be those that serve the questioner's agenda. Speaking for myself, this approach by you will be achieved, but not in the reasons that the demagogue would hope for.

So in essence the whole post is pointless and baseless or as I suspect is written in an attempt to reach out to ones own peers to portray a sense of superiority and keen intellect. None of which, I may add, has been achieved.

Cheers.

Absolute rubbish. The blood of those children are on your hands, SHINAWATRA. Damn you to hell.

Yingluck says:

"Yingluck said her government would not tolerate the act of terrorism for political goal without caring about people's life.

"The government will not tolerate terrorism and has ordered a full investigation by authorities to find the culprits and bring them to justice without exception," her Facebook message said.

She said those with different views should turn to use peaceful measures to express their opinions instead of using violence.

"But the use of violence that lead to deaths are not the civilized way of the living. It is not the way of life of Thais who are naturally considerate and emphatic to fellow citizens, rather than resort to senseless killings. I would like to again call on all sides that it is best to use peaceful means to resolve the political conflict through the democratic process," Yingluck said."

If this is truly what Yingluck believes, she better pass a very public and strong message on to Jutaporn who is advocating violence from the "Red Shirts" at their rally site site near Korat.

So who's more violent? I think we know the answer but I'm sure Red Shirt supports will bury their heads in the sand and as usual ...."Not Us"! No way! We're innocent.... What a bunch of loosers.

"What a bunch of loosers"

I presume you mean "losers"?

I doubt very much that YL cares about your opinion. As an outsider however, you should reconsider your call to a Thai citizen to leave their own country. Don't forget that you have way, way, waayyyyyy less rights to be in Thailand than her.

If you care to look at my post's you will at every time I have said the use of violence REGARDLESS of what side you support is not acceptable and the people that do this should be jailed for life. yes different attacks have differing circumstance, but they are still connected ultimately and the result is the same, people being injured and killed. so my comment stands, if you can show us here Suthep condemning his supporters using violence, yet there plenty of video evidence out there that is exactly what they are doing, NO!, can you show Suthep condemning violence used on those wishing to LAWFULY vote? no again. can you see a pattern here??? I think you prefer the I only see what I want... As for your mental health comment, is that the best you got? I'm underwhelmed

Plainly, it's because the caretaker-PM isn't in control, of her own political-party & its street-support section ?

But at least she has finally come out and condemned the murders.

RT @tukky_nt: Caretaker PM Yingluck visits OTOP complex in Saraburi province via @veen_NT TR @reporter_Itsarahttp://t.co/52SdE7TZw3

Would have been a good opportunity to visit the families of the children or some such compassionate action today, or perhaps demonstrate some action following her facebook condemnation I reckon. Nevertheless, up to her and what she deems best

[rubl]

 

I admire her, she has branded these killers as terrorists.

Unlike Suthep who glorifies his killers as "his popcorn vendors".

 

Do you want to suggest that the killers at Trat and Ratchaprasong are the same as what you describe as "Suthep's killers"?

If so, please a wee bit of proof. If not, you are just off topic as we are discussing the brutal attacks on anti-government protesters which also caused the death of a few kids who had nothing at all to do with the protests.

It's the opposite of 2010 when grenade attacks and shooting in the night was aimed at non-anti-government protesters. Now it's aimed at anti-government protesters.

Should that be TROOSERS then ??---wide pants could be BIG gasps of air??

wooops off topic-----maybe Yingluck condems violence, and spoke of it wearing her Gucci TROOSER suit.
