A suspected arms supplier for red-shirt thugs arrested
 

BANGKOK: -- Another suspect who allegedly supplied arms to red-shirt thugs to harass protesters of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee during the protests earlier this year has been arrested by police.

 

The suspect, identified as 42-year old Phirapong Sinthusonthichart, was presented to the media today (Friday) by Pol Gen Somyos Poompanmuang, the deputy national police chief.

Police alleged that the suspect supplied war weapons and explosives to other suspects earlier arrested by the police namely Yongyuth Boondee, Chatchaval Prabbamrung and Narong Plai-aram.

Police claimed that Phirapong admitted that a house in Khao Chamao in Rayong province had been used as a training ground for the thugs who harassed the anti-government protesters.

Good. More vile, scum off the streets.

surely they are mistaken, the reds only use peaceful means

[ratcatcher]

How awful, they used the words "red shirt thugs". This is sure to attract the usual crew with " What about Suthep's yellow shirt thugs?"

[rametindallas]

red-shirt thugs

 

Finally, calling them for what they are.

Like the yellow Buddhist monk.

[robblok]

Seems it was far more organised (as i already thought) then the red supporters here on Thaivisa wanted to admit. This was just terrorism probably supported by the highest ranks.. lets see if the guy sings.

Amazing what turns up from the red shirt camp when the PTP is not in power.

[Mmorris]

Yet another terrorist Red Shirt locked up.

Inquiring minds want to know: Where was the money coming from to fund all of this???

 

That's going to be a more interesting answer than the low-level schlubs doing the actual dirty work.

These are certified harassment-only weapons, by no means should they be called shoot-to-kill-maim-wound-poke-your-eye-out-weapons!

Agree, 3 times.

 

Hopefully the funder(s) will be the next revelations.

You sure about that? Any evidence to link to?

The OP would appear to say something very different.

Well that is a secret. How ever it was noted that all the money coming to support it had sand all over it.

Make your own conclusions.

UDD principle #3

 

To promote non-violence as our modus operandi for all activities. 

 

Unfortunately when unprincipled one need not follow their own principles. They would have written this with the belief they would never get caught because they were protected by the regime they brought to power. 

 

That is why reform was needed.

I guess they would defiantly harass some one an explosive in my lap would more  than harass me. I guess I am different than most.

I confess, I do have a sarcastic streak. Posts on TV never fail to bring it out...

Oh, how I have missed PTP logic.

 

One can defend terrorists and arms dealers by not denouncing them. Never denouncing them. Not once have I heard a UDD supporters denounce them. What do they say? Well apart from the "Beat the War Drum" meeting (where war means a "peaceful gathering"!!!) when they clapped and cheered the terrorist deaths they normally say "How about the yellows" as if it rationalizes what a red shirt did or is in some way is a defense for terrorism because the other side did it. That is PTP logic.

 

Lets look at this quant little simplistic example above when one states "Like the yellow Buddhist monk." which is quickly followed by another comment stating "The Thug of all Thugs"

 

Phirapong Sinthusonthichart is an arms dealer to red shirt supporters that apparently follow principle #3 stating "To promote non-violence as our modus operandi for all activities." However this is all brushed aside. The article completely ignored. The hypocrisy of the red shirts completely overlooked. The violence that these same people said the red shirts did not commit 4 months ago is forgotten and replaced with a simple "Like the yellow Buddhist monk" The intellect reflected in some statements and rebuttals is breathtaking in itself, but retracts from my main point. That being that they have nothing to say about the violence perpetrated by this man in the OP. The insecurity and absolute fear off admitting they were wrong and were lied to by the PTP and the UDD is too much to bear so the best they come out with is "Like the yellow Buddhist monk" Amazing Thailand? Nahhh, amazing logic. 

 

If the article was about the Yellow Buddhist monk terrorizing someone or supplying arms to terrorists would I say "Like the red shirts"? Not at all. I would say "Arrest him and throw away the key. Why? I do not support terrorism or try to rationalize it or defend it by denouncing the "other side"

 

So to get onto your point winstonc regarding any links I would like to say. Lets not look at the negative links of the monk. Lets look at the positive links of both to compare. 

 

Positive links to Phirapong Sinthusonthichart. 

 

• None

 

Positive links to Buddha Issara 

 

• Farmer reform plan kindly translated into English here. It is based on the King's theory of a self sufficient economy. 
• Buying rice mills with donated money to allow farmers to sell directly to consumers here.

With that said if Phirapong Sinthusonthichart is found guilty of any crimes I hope he is given an appropriate sentence. If not guilty, I will accept the courts decision and move on. I won't throw sh#t at the courts or burn effigies of the judges. That is best left for uneducated terrorist supporters.

 

If Issara is found guilty of any crimes I hope he too is given an appropriate sentence. If not guilty, well you understand!!

 

May peace and reconciliation be with you. With comments like some of the above it may be along way away.

Regardless of what colour faction you follow, mine was green at school, fifty years ago , so I will stay with that, the red shirts you have to admit attracted a certain kind of person in leadership and organizational area's , unfortunately the momentum propelled these characters to abuse of power, of peoples rights, of sham democratic ideals  and a merchant of death factory , all being promoted by the elusive Khun Thasin , say's a lot for their followers, brain washed supporters have no place in a free democracy, a Thug indeed, you just have to  determine which one.

Tjeez man, can't you get of the yellow stuff ?

 

Now listen carefully, I'll only explain this once. Monks wear ORANGE !

[Prbkk]

Oh, is this the guy who supplied the weapons to the "popcorn gunman" , the one who shot and maimed the elderly grandfather? Or did those weapons come from a different source? Maybe he provided the guns used in the murders,shootings, bashings, interrogations, torture...some of which were overseen by the poisoned monk. This is a multi-faceted story.

Pray explain how one uses guns in bashings, interrogations and torture ?

 

Please also provide more info on the "overseen by the monk" as that would suggest a monk was present while this alleged "some of it" happened.

 

thanks

It's all about "unbiased" reporting :)

And I await the answers to those questions.
Let's hope they are forthcoming.
