Army warns defiant hardcore red-shirt leader Kotee



BANGKOK: -- The Army yesterday warned a hardcore red-shirt leader in Pathum Thani for making defiant and aggressive remark threatening the lives of two army generals on a community radio live broadcast.

The threat was made by Pathum Thani red-shirt leader and radio host Wuthipong Kachathamakun, better known as Kotee, on a community radio station urging red-shirt people to capture two army division commanders.

In the radio broadcast, Kotee reportedly said in a red-shirt radio program that he would mobilize followers to capture Maj Gen Wara Boonyasit, commander of the First Division of the Royal Guards, and Col Songwit Noonpakdi, commander of the 11th Infantry Regiment.

His defiant message was spread across the social media.

In a retaliation to Kotee’s threat, Army deputy spokesman Col Winthai Suwaree said “his remarks encourage others to commit legal offences, intimidate others’ freedom through advertising. His action is inappropriate and aggressive.”

Col Winthai said the army would seek the maximum legal punishment over Kotee’s intimidation and would ask police to expedite the investigation into his alleged involvement in all violent incidents related to the ongoing anti-government protests, including the skirmishes at Laksi intersection on Feb 1.

The colonel said that Army would deal all necessary mean through legal channels to convict him.

Kotee earlier denied he was involved in the Laksi skirmishes.

He also claimed Army Chief Prayuth Chan-ocha had ordered he be killed before the election the next day, and so he fled to Cambodia.

The army rejected Kotee’s “kill order” claim and ordered him to stop accusing Gen Prayuth or face criminal charges.

Problem begin for Red hardliners......

Kotee don't forget they picture of you on Laksi during clash, you stay in police van during incident.....

He better go back to Cambodia, or Dubai, his master is awaiting for him with open hands.

[TVGerry]

The police aren't going to do anything to 'investigate' Kotee. They're just going to protect their own as usual. If he however continues with his threats, the army is just going to invite him for tea at Army HQ. I don't think he's going to like that.

[siampolee]

Very interesting to note just how often Cambodia figures in these peoples escape route.

One wonders if the fact that Thaksin is so friendly with his fellow despot and tyrant Hun Sen might have anything to do with ease of access to Cambodia and perchance the honing of skills to create civil disorder?

Birds of the feather all flock together.

These red shirt chappies are not the sharpest knives in the drawer are they ?.....threatening senior army personnel , he might get a little visit from a special forces team for a chat

Hmmmmmmmmm...............

Where did I read this before???????????

SUTHEP calling everybody to hunt the PM and the Shinawatra's family members and kidnap them???????

tsk tsk tsk tsk

The army really chose 1 side, yellow and the Dem's.

[Mister Fixit]

A bit more than a chat, I suspect ...

[Thailand]

Plenty of downright idiots on each side, I think they are probably running neck and neck at the moment.

[PepperMe]

The army have sent multiple requests to the police 'to do their job' now, and have been totally ignored on every one.

The army is deliberately showing up the police as being one sided and this will justify the army declaring martial law and going after these idiots themselves.

Who needs a coup? This bunch of idiots are walking straight into each and every trap set for them.

Tick Tock... KoTee you have a very bleak future my man.

Ah but the key difference is dear YK and her band of merry thieves doesn't have direct access to tanks and lots of soldiers equipped with assault rifles

[coma]

There aren't that many more stupid things an high profile person can say in Thai public than what this guy has proposes. Kidnapping two Thai generals is a sure fire way to bring one's self into harms way. I am sure the generals' loyal troops would be only to happy to deal with such individuals. The Thai military justice way.

You really do have to chuckle at folk and their lack of brain cells.

Red shirt radio is more extreme that anyone really imagines. For years, the worst kinds of things are found on their programmes, the most fictional distortions, and conspiracy theories abounds. It is meant to get people riled up, and incitements to violence is one of the things that creep up from time to time on these stations. If people engineer such programmes, they ought to be held accountable for what they do. It is right that incitement to violence be viewed as the illegal expression that it is.

[chainarong]

Col Winthai is very correct into asking for this redneck to be investigated , there seems no end to the amount of threats people can spit out without being punished in Thailand , in a democracy you need to be very careful in what you say, in Thailand anything go's , it is the failing of the police in there duty to up hold the law that brings it all about , the laws are there but no one applies them , it is a sorry state of affairs when a man of Col Winthai stature has to stand up and literally tell the police how to do there job.

He might politely decline as he might not be a tea drinker

"Any friend of my mate Thaksin...is a friend of mine and welcome here....just bring cash !...."

Regards, Hun Sen

Correct....quite often sit in a Taxi in BKK and the radio's blaring red garbage....similar to the old communist regime mind bending techniques...!

[ramrod711]

so he fled to Cambodia.

Yet another government member that has fled the country, Thaksin is truly their leader.

SPOT ON !!!!! If the army want's this guy charged for his statements and threats, then hey if they really are impartial and want to be seen by the public that they are, then they have NO CHIOCE but to call for Suthep to face the very same charges..... I wonder if the so-called balanced and non bias media like

(you know who they are) will ask that rather difficult question of the army??? Me thinks not

[mrtoad]

But as usual the cowards then flee across the border.

This bloke has been mentioned a lot over the last month regarding his hardline attitude and propensity for violence. Obviously been trained well inte The Redducation camps.

Sorry, I am sure the Reds are way ahead on that scoreboard. Shooting up an old ladies house because her daughter blew a whistle at the ex Mrs TS. Celebrating the deaths of 4 children on a stage, with TV cameras present. Setting up recruiting offices for the "red army" if it is really true. (I almost doubt that one actually, it's sooooooo stupid) Etc etc. Some of the BKK protesters have not made the brightest decisions in some instances but they pale in comparison with the geniuses Mr T supports and has as his supporters. Actually splitting the north off as a separate republic would have some advantages as long as all the nut jobs went there as part of the deal, and stayed there, but it just never gonna happen.

[Dogmatix]

If Kotee's back from his little all expense paid trip to HK, he'd better keep an eye out over his shoulder. Seh Daeng also made many wild threats like him.

[cosmont]

I guess KHUN KOTEE is also ready to die for the Thaksin DEMOCRACY isn't it ?

One more (dangerous) clown in the Thai politic sitcom...

I believe Kool Aid is his preferred tipple

[mrmicbkktxl]

Oh well if Mr,Suthep is threatening to hunt down Yingluk and her family then that's ok.I guess some TV members should take of the yellow glasses

[Melyn]

Plenty of downright idiots on each side, I think they are probably running neck and neck at the moment.

You're right

But I bet I can name many on the scarlet side - and quite a few from the south.... Strangely enough

How many times has that Ko Tee character run away ? must be quite a few now.

A real coward who is so brave when well away from trouble but at the first sign anything happening he leaves his faithful followers and runs.

Yes, one of Thaksin's closest allies.... Cambodia, who are listed as about twice as corrupt as Thailand.... go figure Red Shirt sympathisers.
