webfact Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Chalerm not worried about violence during red-shirt rallyAnuphan Chantana,Kornchanok RaksaseriThe Nation Mobile toilets are set up on Aksa Road in Nakhon PathomBANGKOK: -- A safe house has been established nearby Aksa Road, where the pro-government red shirts plan to hold a mass rally tomorrow, and the Metropolitan Police will look after the homes of important figures in the area, director of the Centre for the Administration of Peace and Order Chalerm Yoobamrung, said yesterday.Residences to be protected include the home of Suthep Thaugsuban, secretary-general of the anti-government People's Democratic Reform Committee, he said.Deputy police chief Pol General Worapong Chewprecha has been assigned to oversee security operations at the rally, Chalerm, who is also caretaker Labour Minister, said.Chalerm said he had visited the rally venue, and said he was not worried about violence.He said he had learnt from Aree Krainara, chief guard for the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), and Nuttawut Saikuar, secretary-general of the UDD, that there would be no marching.The rally venue was spacious, and intelligence had found that a lot of protesters would come from the Northeast, he said.One guard was shot dead and four others were wounded on Tuesday in a broad-daylight attack that further inflamed the political conflict.The group from the Students and People's Network for Thailand's Reform, a faction of the PDRC, was returning from a rally led by Suthep at the Chaeng Wattana camp in a three-vehicle convoy when it was hit by gunfire as it was passing a tollgate and entering an expressway in Nonthaburi.Nisit Sinthuprai, a leader of red shirts in the Northeast and director of the Red Shirts Academy, said 200,000 members would come to join the mass mobilisation tomorrow.The People's Radio Media Group, a red-shirt offshoot, would start its march as part of the campaign against the Constitutional Court and the National Anti-Corruption Commission by proceeding from place to place and distributing flyers detailing the injustices they believed the organisations had committed.Spokesman Sornrak Malaithong said the marchers would start off this afternoon from The Mall Bang Kapi, Imperial World Lat Phrao and Future Park Rangsit. They would visit Bangkok's inner areas sometime in the future but would avoid the PDRC's protest sites, Sornrak said.-- The Nation 2014-04-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrtoad Posted April 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2014 I saw the word intelligence in part of Chalerm's statement and realised at that point to discount any of the content as evidence based and factual. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seems to be more talkative, irrational and combative in the afternoons possibly because of a long, liquid lunch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never disputed the fact, they can be violent and so can the yellows. They are all hot headed Thai's and the colour of the clothes they wear doesn't mellow them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melyn Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If all attendees are searched so that not even a box of matches is taken, then all should be well. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app There's some confusion around this year. Are they all meant to be bringing their own 1 litre bottles of petrol this year, or has Chalerm organized this to be collected on site? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see that Chalerm has assigned a detail to protect Sutheps residence now say thank you by keeping your people away from the reds. The PDRC do not need to provoke anyone. If anything the daily attacks and the random slayings of anti-government supporters has been squarely at the hands of the red shirts. It is them who have provoked the situation if in fact we are to witness any form of revenge. But Ko Tee and his dregs will more than likely play host to the instigation of violence and this time the PDRC are not going to sit there and take it. Most of those reds will be old men and women and all their grandkids, the rest will be a minority of young and uneducated layabouts looking for a little violent fun, and they may well find that it is going to be anything but fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand things, Chalerm is drunk 24/7 and actually has an intravaenous injection of life sustaining fluids (Lao Khao) whilst he sleeps, allowing him to maintain that perpetual state of bliss and disconcern all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scamper Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We know really too much about both Chalerm and the UDD to harbour any sense of comfort in what he or they say. Actions speak louder than words. We will be able to see just how peaceful the UDD rally is, and just how much control Chalerm is able to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGP Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 The headline has to be properly interpreted: He is not worried about violence because he knows that his red-shirt violence lover friends will never be be blamed or caught, no matter how much terror they cause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bloody boring, can you change your record, as it will be more likely the reds provoking reds in the guise of the other side so they can then blame lay the blame on the other side. Forget which chapter of the little red Thaksin book this is from - can you please check and get back to us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissanc Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 If 200,000 are coming from the North-East, that's 200,000 x 500 Baht (at least) = 100 million Baht + expenses. Who's funding this, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luk Mhee Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just look at where your tax money is going to be wasted, on fancy containers, accommodations, food, transport and 350 per day for the security guards plus 500 per day for the demonstrator’s.
