Phra Buddha Isara injured by water canon, teargas

BANGKOK: -- Luangpu Buddha Isara, the leader of the protesters at the Chaeng Wattan site, had to be escorted out of the compound of the Police Club after police fired teargases and water canon at him.

The monk led protesters from the Chaeng Wattana site to the club to protest against the Centre for Administration of Peace and Order at noon.

Protesters removed barbed barriers at 12:20 pm and the monk demanded the CAPO to send representatives to hold a talk with him.

With no one showing up, the monk led protesters to go inside the compound, prompting police to warn them to retreat.

When the protesters continued to move in, police fired water canon and teargases at the protesters, injuring the monk who was standing in the front.

Guarded rushed to escort him out to give first aid treatment.

Well what do you expect... such a demanding Monk... This facade should have been hosed long ago.

[Som wat]

Needs Benny Hill music.

Shit happens. What was the socalled monk doing anyway? He is a <deleted>.

[moonao]

Karmas a bitch

[HeavyDrinker]

He'll be suing or seeking compensation. Nice shooting....

Shit happens. What was the socalled monk doing anyway? He is a <deleted>.

He was leading from the front, a trait not shared by those on the other side of the political spectrum.

[rucus7]

I give him credit for going into the lions den.

[CiaranO]

He is lucky he wasnt shot - trespassing on Government property.

He should be arrested.

[marko kok prong]

He must have forgotten an amulet .

And note he was peaceful, while the CAPO leaders, are shouldn't be leaders anymore since the CC ruling and act with violence.....They are now as much CAPO leaders as I am.

Just unbelievable! And where is the army?

You maybe mistaken. I heard that as of lately the leaders of the reds are the only ones present at the protests.

[Prbkk]

He got off very lightly compared with those beaten by his thugs/hoons/animals

[moonao]

Som num na,

And disrobe him.

Are you saying that anyone can come "peacefully" to your house, "peacefully" cut the chains if any and "peacefully" stroll into your compound and that this is acceptable?

[Cnxforever]

Why did the police not open all doors all the way to the prison cells and let them all walk in and lock the door behind them.

"Insured" by a water canon?

What is wrong with this idiotic police force here? He and all the criminals around him should have been arrested on the spot!

[jaidam]

Continuing with the amart rouge's theme of picking on those unable to defend themselves. The assault by machine gun clad goons on the elderly couples home. Bomb attacks against women and children at Trat. Hospital invasion. Sacking and burning of downtown Bkk. A judgement awaits them, and it's severity will have them begging for the testicle clamps.

[Thailand]

How sad.

[See the bears]

Nice Shot!

According to an interview at Bluesky to a farmer

"BLUESKY Channel interviewed farmer Ravi (pictured) who said that the group had come this morning to lodge complaints and a special investigation case with the police and DSI (DSI chief Tarit is currently stationed at CAPO) requesting the government to provide long overdue payments under the rice-pledging scheme. However, the police would not allow entrance and instead fired tear gas at the group.

The farmer noted that the police's illegal firing of tear gas this morning at peaceful, unarmed protesters is further evidence of the illegitimacy of the sham government.

Venerable หลวงปู่พุทธะอิสระ (Buddha Isara) further described that this morning he declared that he would enter CAPO grounds by himself, without the crowds. However, as Venerable Buddha Isara started his singular approach, police units fired tear gas at the peaceful, unarmed crowds instead of admitting him on to CAPO grounds."

The difference here is: My house is my house. But that building is public property, so every Thai is share-owner of it. And currently 2 criminals try to own it.

To keep your example:

So lets say: I sit in you families home. You demand that I come out and we speak about it (that I am not the owner) and instead of peacefully coming out (and agree or disagree with you) I just shoot at you.

Chalerm and Surapong just lost all public offices because of abuse of power...don't forget that.

Sad day for Thailand.

[Fat Haggis]

What did they expect when they starts removing barricades? They were met with a less violent response than what alleged PDRC guards have dished out in recent weeks.

Indeed Karma is a bitch and he clearly wasn't expecting it either!!

[rucus7]

Yes we should all remain vigilant. Those marauding hoons can be a real threat.

[slipperylobster]

Water Cannon? Songkran lasting much longer nowadays.

[DubaiIsCalling]

I give him credit for going into the lions den.

Monks can buy Xanax too.

Wow! Just wow! Who would have thought that farmer Ravi is also a legal expert. So much for those posters who think that all farmers are buffalos!

The news are not just coming from Bluesky Channel, CiaranO, I've got friends and relatives there and they are confirming the same story: peaceful unarmed protesters, and Buddha Isara walking by himself to CAPO.
