TuskegeeBen Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) We all know the soldiers did it. Give them a gun and bullets and they when wild shooting anything that moved. The people at the top should be held responsible for his death. Guess who that is. Once again bob you have outdone yourself with red hate. There is no proof that the army shot the Japanese reporter and we all know it. If the army had been shooting at anything that moved there would have been thousands of deaths including a young child put on top of a barricade as a target by his loving (presumably) father. Yes there is only one person responsible for all the deaths and injuries and that is the instigator and funder of the riots the convicted criminal on the run overseas. That same convicted criminal has entered the U.S., on multiple occasions, yet has never been arrested (as a fugitive), despite the extradition treaty.

Oh the irony The fact is (there's no mine or yours in facts, facts are facts) there were armed men within the Red Shirts, armed with similar weapons as the soldiers present there and firing those weapons at the army lines across the protesters. Anyone could have been a victim from a bullet coming from either side once the shooting started. Furthermore, there would not, in all probability, been a shootout in the first place if the armed Red Shirts hadn't gone there to confront the army.

anselpixel Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have photographed Red Shirt activities several times, and I have to say they were very easy to get along with in spite of being a bit wild for mild-mannered white guys like me. Maybe they accidentally shot a journalist: none of us has any way of knowing. From personal experience, I find it hard to believe they would ever do that on purpose.

These are the exact same people who shot a M79 into SalaDaeng BTS station at rush hour to cause as many civilian casualties as possible. The same people who fired several M79 grenades at civilians far away from the fortified protest site. The same people who setup checkpoints all over the country and stopped members of the public in their cars to beat and rob them. How many innocent people were sniped by the black shirts throughout the protests before the clampdown? How many army soldiers were sniped before the clampdown?Any of this coming back to you?

You have a lot of bad things to account for though if you really want to defend everything the Reds did and say that every crime that happened is the responsibility of everyone except the reds.In the beginning the reds denied that the black shirts ever existed dispite there being footage of them shooting at the army during the night of the first clampdown. Now we all know that there was a hired militia there on the side of the reds and some of them have even come forward and offered to sell out the leaders. So why would the reds flat out lie about their existence from the beginning then? It's because the entire protest was one big lie and spun to make them appear like peaceful protesters when in reality they instigated and provoked a month long battle with the army and they should be held totally accountable for every death that happened during their illegal protest. How any impartial expat can believe any of their lies from that time and defend them to this day is beyond me.

Is a police chief held responsible when a policeman shoots accidentally shoots a by stander while shooting at armed gunmen? Even more to the point, is a police chief held responsible when a by stander is shot by armed gunmen shooting at police? You may not know to much but any soldier shooting civilian is genesis and any general in charge are responsible for so action (government/dictator)And any government in Thailand is to be elected or it goes against the low same like the one now And same like the government in 2010 both not legal both use the king to go around the low I don't think the king have a choice he is very clever man And it does not matter what we all think the law is for every body to held and protect if not it's not a crime to fight it with every means it takes you see this many places around the world freedom is highly paid some places here to Stealing land or stealing office one hold prison sentence the other death penalty by the low I may not know too much, but I do know that no western leader has been charged with murder after soldiers killed civilians in any of the wars in the last couple of decades.

Back home in Chicago politicians throw bricks thru their own windows and claim the other guy did it. I think that's what happened at Sala Daeng. There were reports the grenades came from the hospital where army snipers were spotted. No, they shot grenades because they felt it would create fear to further their political goals, irregardless of the injuries and deaths it would cause to innocent people. They also may just have enjoyed killing their "enemies", as demonstrated by the "War Drum" meeting some months ago where hundreds of Red Shirts local leaders cheered and celebrated the murder of people at an anti-PDRC gathering in Trad. About the attack on Sala Daeng, the grenades fell in a line aligned with the station, this line pointing at the Lumphini park area occupied by Red Shirts; to fire the grenades from the hospital they would had to fire them at an angle and make them land straight along the length of the station, blindly over and behind the buildings between the hospital and the BTS station, please, do tell why the first scenario is more likely than the second... not to mention how the second scenario would be possible at all. Besides that this thread is about the events of the night of April 10th, if you wish to pursue the "false flag" explanation for what happened there it will be very interesting to hear your arguments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the death toll suddenly go up another half dozen? And it's amazing from this 20 second video, where you don't see anything leading up to the policeman firing live ammunition, that you can determine exactly what he was reacting to. I am really surprised that the video stopped after 20 seconds and didn't continue on showing the bloody bodies of dead red shirts. Of course, he may have just been a bad shot. Not very Rambo like.

rubl Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I was at the yellow shirt and red shirt protests taking pictures. It was clear the yellows did not like the reports of the foreign journalists. They claimed journalists were taking the red side. I think they blew him away to send a message. They killed an Italian reporter and others were wounded. And that's why the red-shirts tried to burn down the Channel3 tower and the BangkokPost building was evacuated just in case those friendly people would drop by. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have been building your b/s stories around 1 fairy-tail: The army/police shot first. You have been proven wrong with that numerous times.

You joined the forum as Fab4 in October 2013 ... ... Please find one single report of any deaths or even bullet injuries on April 9. I don't know what he was shooting, but there were no deaths or shot gun injuries before April 10. I don't even know where you got your information that he was shooting live ammunition. All you have is 20 seconds of video repeated a couple of times for "effect" of someone losing their cool. You have no idea what he was reacting to. You have no idea if it was live ammunition. You have no proof of anything. Just a soldier shooting some sort of gun with no deaths or injuries. You jump to the conclusion that because he probably wasn't shooting a starting pistol that it must have been live ammunition. That's a big step to take given no other evidence of anything. Is it common practice for you to jump to conclusions with no evidence? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monolin Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) If Japan was that worried about the reporters being murdered with little or no progress of Thailand bring those responsible to justice then why not threaten to pull out Japanese investment? That's the trouble with diplomats ... no balls, just talk. The truth of the matter ... governments are weak, they are all too concerned about taking care of their own and what they can make. Money makes the world go round As evidenced by a much higher ranked and more important Japanese official, compared to the one in the OP, who met yesterday with the PM and was recommitting to the shared Japanese/Thai business interests in the Dawei project. It reflects much more importance to Japan than a lone journalist that put himself in harm's way. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/kyodo-news-international/141002/thai-leader-japanese-govt-official-discuss-economic-co Oh well, so much for "demanding answers".

Popular Post monolin Posted October 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) According to the court, the Italian journalist that was covering the Army crackdown on red shirts was also targeted and killed by an Army bullet fired from the direction of the Army. These murders happened right after my Thai friends told me to stay away from the yellow shirt mob I had been photographing. (I have a big camera) I ignored my friends advice and went back to take more pictures and several irate yellow shirts came at me and asked if I was a journalist? I hot footed it out of there. By contrast, I was also taking pictures at the red shirt mob and they invited me in, behind the secure area to photograph Jutaporn and the red leaders. Can you please link to reports that the Italian reporter was *targeted* by the army. After you substantiate that allegation, can you share some of your photos of Jatuporn to substantiate that claim?

You want to see pics of army snipers positioned up on the sky train tracks? Have those too. I got inside the secure area while BBC, CNN etc were held back.
