Why wait? based on the contents and the way you composed your response it's quite clear you've already expressed an opinion Doesn't matter if facts are presented, people tend to either believe them or discount them, based on their shirt colour!! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 This sounds like a load of BS, although if someone was beaten by thugs, then they need to arrested and charged accordingly. A hospital turning down someone for treatment goes against all ethics of medical practitioners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimbc Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Seems like a lot of effort in try to find grounds for violence by the anti-government, but no one is willing to go after the crimes comitted by the muderers. It shows a lot that this government has an agenda. While the most violent crime of murder and shooting and bombings goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrapPostScore Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It didn't happen. The guy got a beating for probably pissing someone off and decided to spin this yarn to discredit the protest guards, and push his pro-government agenda. The police should ask for his memory card, deleted photos can be brought back using restoring software on any PC. If no pictures of the guards, then throw him in prison for perjury.

Fat Haggis Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Perjury? I'm pretty sure perjury can only happen in courts, where you have been sworn in to tell the truth and the whole truth blah blah blah? Lying to the cops isn't perjury, bet you've told cops lies and your partner little lies too, not perjury..just lies and fibs. Once again the pro-protestor movement members instantly dismiss this as all lies, and the anti's say the opposite, what IF it really happened, I don't hear much condoning of the possibility of having a group..no a mob of people beating up another persons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think doctors and nurses would never refuse to treatment anyone. You have obviously not lived here long if you have never heard of a Hospital refusing to treat a patient. How long i have lived here is irrelevant. Yes i have heard of hospitals refusing treatment but not for these reasons. I have a high regard for doctors and nurses and cannot believe they would turn away anyone who needed emergency treatment. The name of the hospital was IMO deliberately not reported because this story will have some fact to it but the rest is made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of pot calling the kettle black situation. If you guessed that I "would be the first to comment" how does my reply "show you've (I've) run out of anything constructive to say"? There is no logic in that statement, none at all. Instead of attacking the poster, why not read what I have to say for once. Seajae said that he believed that Hospitals in Thailand would not refuse treatment. I provided documented evidence of two occasions when they did refuse treatment and then you come up with some diatribe about I have nothing constructive to say. How can I be "constructive" about a hospital refusing treatment to someone? What relevance the rest of your rant about the Chiang Mai 51 Group has, is beyond me. You really need to let that hate go. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleeing Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It does sound like propaganda, but if not both the attackers and the hospital staff should definitely be prosecuted.

Very poor journalism, as usual. You got to be kidding. Poor journalism? Non-existent journalism with rumors. Why bother to get all the facts when you have a deadline to meet? After all, getting the facts takes the time to actually go to the hospital that (supposedly) denied service to an injured person, in order to interview them and "validate" the injured person was not fabricating the entire story. If 10 people beat him up, surprised he could even walk by himself. What happened to all of his co-workers inside the building? Same as the hospital?
