MGP Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) At least twice now the red shits have used Temples, They are so superstitious (like their Master Thaksin) that perhaps they believe that by shooting from a temple they will not be caught, or that their descent into Hell will be like a path of roses.

webfact Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 One dead in gun attack on Thai protestersBANGKOK, April 1, 2014 (AFP) - A Thai anti-government protester was shot dead and several others wounded Tuesday when their vehicle came under attack, officials said, reigniting tensions in Bangkok after weeks of relative calm.The victims, supporters of a militant faction of the opposition movement, were returning from a rally at a government complex in the north of the capital when they came under fire from unknown assailants.A 52-year-old man was killed and four others were wounded, according to the city's Erawan emergency centre."According to our initial intelligence information, it definitely involved politics," said Paradorn Pattanatabut, a security adviser to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra."It is hard to control the situation," he said, adding that hardliners were mixed up in the deadly political crisis.Thailand has been shaken by a series of grenade attacks and shootings, often targeting protesters, that have left 24 people dead and hundreds wounded in recent months.The violence had eased since the rallies were scaled back at the start of March when demonstrators abandoned their occupation of major intersections in Bangkok and converged in a park in the city.The splinter group that was attacked, the Network of Students and People for the Reform of Thailand, has often been at the vanguard of attempts to storm state buildings during five months of rallies seeking to oust Yingluck.The protesters want Yingluck to step down to make way for an unelected interim government to oversee reforms aimed at curbing the political dominance of her billionaire family.Thailand has seen years of political conflict and rival street protests by opponents and supporters of her brother, fugitive former premier Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in a coup in 2006 and lives overseas to avoid jail for a corruption conviction. -- (c) Copyright AFP 2014-04-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to go way back to find victims while its much easier to find victims of red violence. They advertise it.. and they are pleased with it.. the red speakers loving the slaughter of children in Thrad (video evidence of them cheering for the good news). You might argue the pop corn gunman from Suthep, but that time it was a shootout between 2 sides, i haven't seen them attack unarmed people like the reds are doing. Mind you those pop corn gunmen need to be put in jail too I am not saying what they are doing is good. But violence wise.. the reds rule supreme. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoopyDoo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Expect to read a lot more of these attacks. They have clearly been ordered in the run up to April 5th red shirt rally to frighten away PDRC supporters to keep the numbers as low as possible. If they step up the attacks and fatalities over the next few days, it may just instill enough fear to keep many away, while encouraging the red shirts at the same time. ALL terrorists should face the death penalty as mandatory..... just so they know what they are risking for themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Gunfire On PCAD Tollway Convoy Kills 1By Khaosod EnglishBANGKOK: -- Unidentified assailants have opened fire on anti-government demonstrators' motorised convoy in Nonthaburi province today, killing one protester.Three other protesters were also wounded by the gunfire, which erupted as supporters of People's Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD) were marching on Ngam Wong Wan Expressway at around 14.30.The protesters were returning from Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road, where hundreds of PCAD supporters remain encamped, to their campsite near Government House in Bangkok.Protesters showed reporters bullet holes on a bus of their convoy.The name of the deceased protester has not been released. It is understood that a total of four people have been shot, 2 men and 2 women.PCAD protest sites and marches have frequently come under gunfire and grenade attacks since their "Occupy Bangkok" campaign began in January, claiming many lives. The police have been heavily criticised for failing to arrest or prosecute the perpetrators in these attacks.Source: http://en.khaosod.co.th/detail.php?newsid=1396349040§ion=11&typecate=06 -- Khaosod English 2014-04-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that popcorn gunman had not been there, it would have been a total slaughter. The PDRC need to arm themselves, for this is slipping into a civil war scenario. Why should one side have preferential treatment over the other just because they support a corrupt regime with blood all over its hands????? If the reds are going to be allowed to do this sort of attack, then there should no argument as to the other side arming itself for defense purposes. I wonder how much death it needs to call for martial law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rich teacher Posted April 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2014 if anyone can defend this action (I am waiting for the usual TV red hoard) with a straight face, please try. this is a precursor of things to come in the run up to the 5th. No red shirt supporter will defend this, but neither will they assume it is the reds, yellows, army, ... until there is undisputed evidence that proves who did it. After 4 years now, the thousands of accusations of the reds killing & burning have come to nothing. We have had the court though, adjudicating that most killed in 2010 were killed by the army, which is against what was being spewed by ST & the TV yellow cheerleaders, that the reds had slaughtered their own, etc, etc. Since this insurgency began, we have had arrests of both sides, with war weapons, but so far the most obvious has been the popcorn shooter who admitted to having, being trained in, and using war weapons. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
