Thai police blame Red Shirt 'network' for Bangkok blasts

[AleG]

Red Shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan dismissed the link with his group, insisting they were non-violent and have nothing to gain from stoking tensions under martial law.

"We are not involved. It would be a disadvantage to us... no-one is that stupid,"

The "Why!, we would never, ever do such a thing!" defense is rather flimsy in view of the long, well documented history of them actually doing such things.

How is the bombing at the Siam Paragon linked to the grenade thrown on this incident. Have they caught the three unnamed people that an arrest warrant was issued on, that was certainly connected to an army (red/black shirt) ranger currently in prison, that was further the MO of no less than 3 redshirt organizations?

Lets take a look at fact, not fiction. The two devices in Siam Paragon were crude devises made from easily acquired materials, no one has been arrested and the last I heard on solving the case was when the Junta had the case 70% solved, weeks ago. However this unsolved mystery is continually attributed to the reds and is linked to this incident but no facts given thus far as well as no arrest.

On the other hand the grenade attack is from a manufactured item (RKG5) with variations made by numerous countries and is not standard issue to soldiers in Thailand. Most likely was smuggled into the country. From evidence seen by us TVF sleuths the MO's have yet to show any connection as the Siam Paragon investigation has thus far lacked motive.

The only link that I see is the need for continued martial law.

Now both incidents could well have been done by the reds, I don't know but there is obviously a "missing link" thus far.

As they say, don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. Yet another justification for the continued extension of martial law. Great to see all the anti Shin family posters here have another story to bitch about while ignoring Thailand's political history, both recent and past. If you take time to to do a bit of research you may find TS has more +'s than -'s. Most of us who are aware of Thai history/politics are at this moment censored in telling the truth about what is really happening now. We have no say in the matter. "Up to you" and mai pen rai. Have a good night and "don't ting too much"

You're obviously a well researched and balanced reasoner.

So please, help us out and give us the benefit of all your hard research. Kindly list all the +'s and -'s you believe appertain to TS for our illumination.

This should be good ! Can't wait !

For the record - I don't like having the army in charge - but what is the other option? The politicians in this country are all cancerous worms who steal and steal and steal - that is not democracy! Keep writing new charters til one is found that limits these agents of darkness' ability to hurt the country.
