Assassination Attempt Wounds Northern Red Activist

 

By Khaosod Eng.

 

 

CHIANG MAI — A prominent Redshirt activist was shot and injured by unidentified gunmen in his home in the northern city of Chiang Mai last night.

 

Niyom Lueangcharoen, aka "DJ Lae", was shot twice in his leg. His condition is now stable, police say.

Mr. Niyom is an active member of the local Redshirt community and co-founder the Red Lanna group in Chiang Mai province.

Pol.Lt. Songsak Tanyadee, a police officer at San Kamphaeng Police Station, said an unknown number of assailants opened fire on Mr. Niyom from a nearby orchard where they were hiding. Mr. Niyom was brought to hospital by his relatives, Pol.Lt. Songsak said.

The officer added that the police are investigating the incident and have not established a motive behind the assassination attempt.

A veteran political activist, Mr. Niyom had previously been a member of the radical Love Chiang Mai 51 group and faced several lawsuits for his political activity. A ideological schism in the leadership of Love Chiang Mai 51 later led Mr. Niyom to leave organisation and found the Red Lanna network in June 2011.

Although police stress that there is not yet evidence that the shooting was politically-motivated, the attack occurred amidst an ongoing climate of fear in Redshirt provinces in the wake of the 22 May military coup d’etat.

"The officer added that the police are investigating the incident and have not established a motive behind the assassination attempt."

Using the word assassination tends to suggest a political motive.

[northernjohn]

Probably some disgruntled ex red shirts who have discovered that life in Thailand can be good with out Thaksin.

Funny ! 

[thaipod]

Maybe the locals have realized that these so called red leaders didn't make their life any better. They had to stand there and watch them become wealthy and live the good life, and be used by them to the end.

 Just what the heck this thug was doing walking the streets when he was sentenced to 20 years prison a couple years ago for his part in the murder of a PAD supporters father is quite beyond me. See, he would have been much safer if he was where he should have been.

 i might as well say it before someone else does.  

 

He shot himself.  

[Artisi]

Shot in the leg, sounds like a warning or a pay-back.  

[Luk Mhee]

This man should be put in protective custody, to be shot in the leg is clearly not an assassination attempt, it is a warning to keep his mouth shut, or face assassination, the man knows, and has too much information.

[smutcakes]

I am sure this type of thing will be on the up. Those who cannot be politically adjusted will be disposed of.

[UbonRatch]

A shot to the knees, or lower legs, is normally a mafioso warning; the mafiosos being associated with whom nobody knows at this point.

 

It's possible he was about to squeal about somebody higher up, after the recent pressure he's been placed under.

 

Time to keep a low profile, or there won't be a next time.

 

Dirty tricks is dirty tricks... you're either in it or out of it. He was in it knee deep.

"Although police stress that there is not yet evidence that the shooting was politically-motivated, the attack occurred amidst an ongoing climate of fear in Redshirt provinces in the wake of the 22 May military coup d’etat."

 

Even with posters complaining about the NCPO criminalizing any report which critisises the NCPO in some way, KhaoSod still seems to get away with their implicit suggestion  Of course I may mis-interpret, maybe they just want to imply that with the NCPO simply being is enough reason for politically motivated fear and attacks ? Would red-shirts turn on each other ?

Good ganja u got there? Or is it a mental problem?   

[jaidam]

 So anyway, now that the authorities have caught him, he will be going straight to prison to serve his sentence for murder, right???

 And look on the bright side, if he's walking around on his knees, he won't need to bend over to pick up the cunningly dropped soap, although he probably will anyway.

Either this simpleton accidentally shot himself in the leg (twice to be sure), or he was caught stealing fruit, or the prediction I made here on TV about 6 months ago is happening - that the people of Thailand will turn on these red thugs and the day will come when they will be hiding out in holes like the vermin they really are.

 

As jaidam stated, this lowlife should have been behind bars serving a long sentence for murder.

[NeilSA1]

"The officer added that the police are investigating the incident and have not established a motive behind the assassination attempt."

Using the word assassination tends to suggest a political motive.

 

Using the word assassination tends to suggest a better shot than just in the leg.

What is the camera doing so close to the victim... filming his nose hairs?

Of course you're not implying the NCPO would do such, so you seem to imply the two rival red-shirt organisations are somehow involved in a turf war?

He was also wanted for lese majeste. Murder here has a low penalty price here, as you know. Lese majeste carries a much harsher penalty. I just wish they'd have found a kilo of Yaba in his pocket... silly idiots missed a chance to plant.

And the police seem stumped for motives

Strange how HIS appeal process is taking so far over 4 years and counting.

 

Normally it is 1 year at the most.... Looks like strings are being pulled to keep these thugs free.

 

That is the second time there has been an assassination attempt on his life.

 

Third time lucky?

The old thread you are quoting was misinformation, and the TVF member who claimed a murder conviction was banned. Look at the first posters' icon, you clueless group thinking mobs.

 

Further, this is the second attack on his home.  The first attack was reported in Thailand news in June 2011.  http://www.thailandnews.co/category/chiang-mai/page/22/

 

As I said before, the red haters are slightly funnier than the red lovers -- the pseudo self-righteous attitude lets you have selective memory, posit fictional histories you tell each other, and any comment you don't like creates a name calling spree that makes Gerbils look like an ad rep for McDonald's.  This is HILARIOUS -- posters saying he should be buggered, beaten, maimed and worse, just because they WANTED to believe what they read, and then went on to accuse the Big bad Guy of trying to silence him because he 'knows too much'...all based on pure fiction.

 

I will treasure this whole thread.

 

Worse, the man split from the main Reds because they were becoming violent.  And you meatballs roll off the plate patting each other on the back for baseless accusations, and then even fantasized about punishments for his imaginary crime.

 

Really, do any of you 'team players' realize there is no team.  You do not even qualify to lose.

 

You are buying what they are selling.  Thaksin is a symptom, a bad one, and nothing is being done to treat the illness.  He has disillusioned the people he was supposed to be helping, but even when he is gone they will still have legitimate grievances.

 You must have missed the reports in the international press that clearly state that on April 8th 2009 this DJ was sentenced to 20 yrs for his part in hacking off the arm of 60 year old Settha Chiamkitwattana before shooting him to death.

 

 That he has been attacked(twice) while on the run is hardly a surprise. If some thug did that to your father I'm guessing you would be somewhat peeved to see the mockery of justice.
 

[siampolee]

I agree with those posters who  take the view that this was a warning to the victim to  keep mum about what and whom he knows

 

Start to sing a loud song in exchange for ones liberty and some people are going to become even paranoid as to the prospects regarding their. life, liberty and future freedom being endangered by a self serving solo singer thus they get a trifle angry.

 

Political paymaster(s) or possibly fellow political activists, they are the endangered species, a nod is a good as a wink you know what I mean?

You clearly cannot provide any links to these nonexistent International Press Stories because...it is fiction and got a former TVF member banned for posting it (see the icon on the first post of the quoted thread that began this new fictional hate-fest, clearly saying Banned, then read the last post closing the thread to protect TVF from defamation suits).

 

Red haters are slightly funnier than red lovers -- they feel indignant righteousness all the way to the nearest barstool.

Red  lovers -- they feel indignant righteousness all the way to the nearest bar stool, and when dining out they tend to gargle their soup too.

 This is starting to get ridiculous. I assume google works on your computer?

 

 Using the google search, try entering Sydney Morning Herald and Red shirt activist. Then look at the second entry. You will enjoy it as it has a photo taken in a Chiang Mai restaurant with Thaksin, Ghandi, Mandela, and Guavara taking pride of place. The last 3 paragraphs of the article will enlighten you.

 

 No need to apologize.
