Redshirts hunt EC's Somchai

[WoopyDoo]

I, for once, find myself agreeing with the Red, Shirts. They are not rude, low and wild. They are already beyond that. The proper adjectives should not be this mild.

Some animal descriptions come to mind!

the 3rd adjective; 'wild' should not be used for Red Shirts. Granted, the word 'wild' can mean various things, but Reds might take it as a compliment, as in; "the biker gang was wild" or "the wild west." Wild can also mean not-domesticated, such as natural forests. In that sense, there is nothing wild in Thailand. The whole country is rice fields, other agriculture, fallow or dirt fields, and villages/cities - every square meter. Nature has lost every battle against Thais, for the past 500 years.

So I take it you haven't been outside BKK or Patts or wherever you reside.

Take a drive through the north and you will see nothing but wilderness especially in the hilly regions where it is jungle as far as the eye can see.

All counties utilize their flat areas for agriculture and urban residence.... mostly because that is where the water gathers from the mountains and hills which is essential for any civilization to survive.

Do you expect everyone to starve to death while living on top of a mountain?

Don't know much do you?

They instead booed at the EC chairman and also threw rotten fishes, eggs and even human excreta at the van he boarded to leave the provincial town hall.

Must be part of the intellectual weaponry Jatuporn said they'd arm the Red Shirts with.

[bigbamboo]

if you kick a dog don't piss and moan if it bites you,

if you play with fire don't complain if you get burned,

If you insult a person then be prepared to get something back,

History teaches us you can repress, marginalize, and insult people for so long, sooner or latter they will stand up, and then, you reap what you sow...

Good to see the Aussies have learned their lesson.

[AleG]

In view of the pro-government, no-double-standards, posters here that were justifying bombing and spraying with bullets the house of a anti-government protestor (and her mother) for the heinous crime of blowing a whistle at Thaksin's ex, what would be the appropriate retaliation against the Red Shirts for their assault with rotten fish, eggs and bags of excrement?

[MaxLee]

Well done to the security staff and ground staff there who actually stood up to them for once. If the police had been there I guarantee they would stepped to the side and let the red shits camp themselves in the terminal.

These guys have been getting away with stuff like this for so long that they now think that it's their democratic right to cause chaos and instil fear in their fellow citizens.

Amazing TRUE FACE of Thailand, where mobs can threaten into airport terminals including innocent foreign bystanders...

...if only you could actually recognize the irony of your closing statement...!!

[smutcakes]

He is entitled to his opinion, but i dare say it was a gross error of judgement for someone of his standing and importance at the current time, to actually write it on open media like facebook.

I dont see how doing something like that can possibly do anything but inflame issues, when what is needed now is cool heads all around.

Having the head of the EC come out and write something like that on an open forum just seems unprofessional and will simply add fuel to the fire of those who insinuate that the EC are not exactly doing their job correctly at the present time.

In fact it is so unprofessional, it almost makes me think it has been done deliberately. Anyone here who works for a private company, never mind something as prestigious as the EC knows you should not write anything on FB or any other social media. The guy is obviously completely brain dead, or it has been done deliberately.

I think many clients are rude pigs, but i don't write it on fb as i would loose my job.........

[Scamper]

Sadly, it seems as if this is just a prelude to what we can expect when the Constitutional Court gives the " wrong " ruling. Somchai later backed down from his silly words ( though it seems there was more truth to them than he or anyone else imagined ). But what about these " people " who pursued him ( in search of a word that is acceptable to all ? ) What about them ? Dis they realize that they ended up scaring not just one person but everyone at the airport ? Is there going to be any statement from Thida or Jatuporn ? You can bet the family farm there won't be - on facebook or anywhere else. And what about the " police " ( again, trying to find a word acceptable to all ) ? Don't tell me that they've even given customarily showing up two hours after everyone is left, and turned back and gone home. Are they even dispensing with that pretense ?

[Rich teacher]

Pity he didn't reference those that violently blocked the elections that he was responsible for providing with the same language.

Sorry again to bust your bubble

History now shows that blocking the elections has opened the way for a better Thailand

Corruption in mass has come to the surface

But this is only the start, once the corruption protectors are gone, what will happen we will see more of the truth the way they goverend this country

what have these red shirt given to history to look back on

Oh yeh sorry

That Somchai was correct

How on earth has it "opened the way for a better Thailand".? Where in Suthep's, the democrat's or the military's past political performance is there any indication of eliminating or even lessening corruption.

[fab4]

Run Somchai run! Maybe next time he'll try to at least appear independent.

He is independent. That's what PT dislike about him.

"He is independant".

Is there a new definition of independant that I'm not aware of? Try and look past the hysteria in the posts above for a moment and ask yourself what brought about this anger from the UDD, what did Somchai say, how about his actions, or more importantly his inactions in organising the election?

Still reckon he is independant, not even a tad biased?

Everyone else is biased that does not agree with the reds.

Yawn

See that's just plain ignorance - whatever the reaction, the guy, who is supposed to represent the Election Commission, a supposedly independent entity, being the one charged with organising those elections, posted his thoughts about a large portion of the electorate which were at best disparaging, at worst libellous, on a public medium.

It doesn't matter whether you agree with those thoughts, or whether it is about the reds, greens, purples or rainbow colours, he shouldn't have done it!

and the best you can do is come up with that stupid remark........................

What has caused the UDD hysteria is the fact he will not bow to the pressure put on him to see the law through their eyes. He has stuck to the rules and the legislation. It is that independence from how the UDD and PT want these rules to be interpreted as that causes the UDD fury.

Try reading slowly. I specifically said that the hysteria was in the posts, but of course you knew that and decided to twist the words in that tired old way so popular on here. It's not about seeing the law through their eyes, it's about publishing inflammatory opinions on a public medium about a portion of the electorate, when you are supposed to be an independant person in charge of organising an election. It's about perception. It's about bias.

He doesn't know the rules let alone stick to them

The Election Commission has asked the Constitutional Court to rule on contentious issues related to the holding of elections in 28 constituencies where there were no MP candidates.

- Whether the EC could go ahead and announce candidacy registration, and a new election date in the 28 constituencies.

- Whether the EC, if it was not empowered to make such announcements, would need the issuance of a Royal Decree to amend the previous decree for dissolution of the House of Representatives. This would have to be carried out by the prime minister.

- Whether, in case a new royal decree needs to be issued, the decree eould allow the holding of elections in only the 28 constituencies, or whether the Royal Decree can only declare new elections nationwide, as the Constitution stipulates that the elections be held on the same day nationwide, Puchong said.

He said the EC would abide by the Constitutional Court's ruling on these questions.

Try posting without a condescending opening sentence, might make you a better person.

You explicitly questioned the independence of Somchai in response to my post (saying he is independent) in your final sentence. The rest of your post also questions his independence I see after rereading it. The UDD are on the rampage again because of this. Yes I used the word hysteria, but how else can you describe thugs reacting the way the red guard did because the nasty man said a mean thing. Clear enough for you.

[Seastallion]

You guys make me laugh!

First of all you jump straight on yingluck for posting on her Facebook however when a person in this position goes to Facebook to make a point it's ok.

Second to the poster who remarked about the carry on at the airport and uneducated masses maybe he should reflect on the utter disaster the yellows caused not Thailand but the world with their actions several years ago

If you want to make it class warfare then maybe you could call your mob educated scum!

Actually the terms low, rude and uneducated should also extend to red shirt supporters too.

Do you mean the g-g-g-g-g-galah?

[Seastallion]

Why didn't they just sue for defamation? They could not have lost as the truth doesn't matter.

trying to run a country on fakebook big difference ...as to the scum part are you saying my wife is scum then being a protester..

[Artisi]

who earlier described them rude, low and wild.

They instead booed at the EC chairman and also threw rotten fishes, eggs and even human excreta.

​So his description was not accurate !!

Correct, an in-accurate description.

Difficult to really find the correct words to describe such low-lifes, maybe - rude, crude, unsophisticated, slobs, idiots, uncouth, coarse, barbaric, grotesque, low-class, riff-raff, sewage scum, odious.

However, as followers of a certain fugitive who has been roughing it with camels for a few years - maybe just plain and simple "camel droppings" would suffice as an apt description.

[Thai at Heart]

Well if you will call people names....

Why even answer such an idiotic troll. It is so obvious what he is doing, takes a post, manipulates the content, twists the information adds some spin - and then ducks for cover. Typical red-rabble style.

[SeaVisionBurma]

How on earth has it "opened the way for a better Thailand".? Where in Suthep's, the democrat's or the military's past political performance is there any indication of eliminating or even lessening corruption.

Where in the TRT/PPP/PTP has there been a lessening or elimination of corruption?

Where has all the money from he rice scam, flood prevention, tablets for school children gone?

It can't have ANYTHING to do with the Democrats, military, PDRC or anybody else as the PTP kept everybody including accountants away from "their" scams.

Way to go monk beaters, what class, did you take turns crapping in each others hands, or what. This is the democratic behavior that will show the world what you are made of. By the way, did you run out of contaminated blood and used sanitary napkins?

[WhizBang]

Ummmm someone on here with selective memory doesn't recall the events of 2008.

I was lucky enough to miss the fallout from their actions however two people I know who we're directly affected were a doctor and a friend who's mother passed away in nz and they were both stranded in Sweden.

Why should the world go on hold because of thai ploltics?

The world was on hold over the airport shutdown? Who knew?

While I do agree that the yellows should NEVER have been allowed to occupy the airport, it was the Thai authorities (mainly the police) who are primarily at fault for allowing it to occur and then allowing it to continue for so long. It was a TOTAL FAILURE of the Thai government and the police in handling that situitation.

If the same were to happen in the USA, England, Australia, or even Canada, how long do you think it would be before the police moved in and arrested them? Hours, at most, would be my guess.

It just goes to demonstrate that there is no rule of law in Thailand. Those events, the events in 2010 and what is happening now all point to a total lack of law enforcement. Combine that with a corrupt criminal government and what you have is a FAILED STATE.

Welcome to Thailand.

Thailand's best result ever on Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index was in 2005.

People even in Thailand only see or get a sense of what the reds are like when they hit BKK, but they don't realise that this tiny minority are responsible for terrorizing the entire north and northeast. People up here are petrified of them and the UDD. It really is not a lot different from N Korea where people live in constant fear of violence and intimidation for just having the wrong thoughts.

This PTP and UDD mob need to be totally taken down and all these red shirts should be crushed into submission..... even if it is at the point of a gun.

They are the scum of Thailand....... ALL OF THEM!!!!!

Just prior to Songkran, I was in Nong Khai and was having lunch at a restaurant on the prominade overlooking the river. At the table next to me, were a bunch of Thai folks, when suddenly an older lady in the group went off on a tangent yelling and screaming at the rest of her table. After a couple of minutes of this she stormed off in a huff, followed by the rest of her table.

Once things had quietened down, my girlfriend whispered to me that the older lady was a red shirt and got angry because someone at her table said something disparaging against Thaksin and the PTP.

Brainwashed loons, the lot of them. Thailand really needs to eradicate the red problem if it hopes to have any peace in the near future. We all know the coward in the desert will never stop until he is 6 feet under.

[siampolee]

The whole affair puts me in mind of Oscar Wilde and his quotes.

The English country gentleman galloping after a fox—the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable.

Or perhaps it should read .

Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.

Do you expect everyone to starve to death while living on top of a mountain?

Don't know much do you?

We have a different definition of wilderness. To me, wilderness means non-screwed up nature. There's non of that in Thailand. But, I didn't even mention 'wilderness', because I don't expect wilderness anywhere in Asia. Can you name one National Park in China?

No, I'm just referring to untainted forest or natural area in Thailand. There is none. I've been coming to Thailand for over 30 years, and have been to every sector of the country. Thais have zero consciousness for preserving nature.

That was a true honest assessment of you and a few more comrades with you.

He wouldn't be in this position hadn't it been for the malfunction of your beloved failure of a government. He was being honest about a % of the intimidating types, the actual true troublemakers that will riot at a given word from your sand castle boss.

The smiley is apt. as all your posts are red red red sweet mouthing the PTP. This is why you get the responses--understand.

[diehard60]

The fascist militia is once more on the march. Beware those who oppose the will of PT for they shall be hunted down and face the wrath of the red guards justice. Hospitals, airports, music venues, courts or any other place are no refuge when they are on their holy mission to cleanse the country of all who stand against their truth, no truth can be held to be true if it is not the one they, the UDD, declare to be so. Be afraid, be very afraid, the fury of the zealot is indeed fierce and bloody.

Isn't this sort of the same as the pdrc hunting down members of the shin family???? And the same as the pdrc stopping people from doing what was their constitutional right to vote? I see no difference other then the poo poo.
