WoopyDoo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 what an insane country this is....because you dont like what he says pathetic..its called freedom of speech..or am i in the wrong country.. He was a redshirt that was shot dead. No word that he was shot dead BECAUSE he was a red shirt. He was also an active anti lese majeste campaigner. He could have been shot by anyone from any side in that case. Read the recent news report about a new vigilante group who have declared a crack down on anti lese majeste supporters of which this red shirt was a high ranking player. But because he was a red shirt.... he deserves the same amount of justice as the victims of red shirts have had from the law....... none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The stuttering parrot Posted April 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2014 Poor old woopy doo! You are so blinded by your own hatred that you make such stupid comments like that. Not just both sides but many gov anti gov activists have made highly inflammatory statements or statements or poems or songs that others mightn't agreed with but to say he got what he deserved is typical sutep. Anyway no one knows why he was killed but it just shows you how the yellow peril thought processes work according to wd! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you advocate violence against any red shirt activist ? Yes you do ! You must be a democrat, no ? If a red follower post this quote, (about a yellow) at least 100 or more yellows would comment negative about that red follower, I am very curious now....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post newcomer71 Posted April 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2014 Another consequence of hate that has to stop. Lets hope the get whoever did this pronto. Being a red supporter there might be incentive for the police to go after them. Doing a little further digging, he was always on red shirt rally stages reciting his hate filled poems and also anti lese majeste poems. Sorry but.... he clearly brought this onto himself. So far every PDRC person and even innocent kid murders have been basically brushed over by the red shirts as justified. I am not going to get involved in double standards.... but the red farang certainly will. I certainly don't wish for the perpetrators to get caught..... because the police have given clemency to all the killers of the other side... so as far as I am concerned, the reds don't really deserve justice ..... double standards????.................

I won't be a hypocrite for you or anyone else. I am ready to stand up and be counted. I think he brought this on himself for not only being a red shirt activist, but also an anti-lese majeste activist in a country where loyalty to the monarchy is an obsession... So yep... They got him... whoever it was, and you can't whine and moan about it. Edited April 23, 2014 by WoopyDoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toryboy1979 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I would recommend that viewing of the film 'The Railway Man' be made compulsory for everyone. Why so? Because the over-riding message of the movie which concerns the hate carried by a British Ex POW for most of his life of a Japanese Soldier that sometime the hate has to stop. A very moving film a well worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares about what a poet writes and says, of course I forgot all the TV posters that read Shelley & Keats etc Maybe he owed loan sharks money or just pissed somebody off who hates poetry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
