webfact Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Soldiers Seize Alleged Redshirt Weapon Cache from NE Temple By Khaosod EnglishWeapons and Redshirt memorabilia allegedly found by soldiers in a temple in Saraburi province, 17 March 2015.SARABURI — Military officers say they discovered a weapon cache belonging to an underground militant group affiliated with the Redshirt movement at a temple in northeastern Thailand.Officers displayed the weapons to reporters at a press conference today.Soldiers and police display the cache in Saraburi province on 17 March 2015.Maj.Gen. Adisorn Khorop, commander of a local army unit in Saraburi province, said soldiers discovered the cache during a raid on Seewalee Forest Monastery, located in Muaklek district.The cache consisted of two shotguns, four BB guns, one handgun, one homemade "pen gun," one hand grenade, one rifle, and over a hundred bullets for the firearms, said Maj.Gen. Adisorn.The military also confiscated two radio devices, one motorcycle without a license plate, and a number of flags and memorabilia of the Redshirt movement, which commands wide support in northeastern Thailand.The temple's abbot, Phra Inta Sanyato, is now under arrest on charges of possessing firearms, ammunition, and radio equipment without proper permits. According Maj.Gen. Adisorn, the abbot denied having any knowledge of the weapons."The suspect contested the charges," said Maj.Gen. Adisorn. "He claimed that Redshirt groups have visited the temple for merit-making, and left behind these belongings when they departed from the temple."Under martial law, which was imposed by the ruling junta last May, soldiers are authorized to conduct searches and arrests without a court warrant.

tomross46 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Very interesting, this can not be Red Shirts, because they would not do anything like this. They follow the orders of their Supreme Leader, residing in the shade of a date palm tree, drinking Sadiki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is clear - red shirts and violence go hand in hand, always have. So the 90+ killed red shirts and more than 800 injured in 2010 was attacked by fellow red shirts?? The truth is, both sides are equally primitive and prone to violence!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, BB guns and a motorcycle without a license plate. More evidence that the impending Civil War was narrowly averted. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in my opinion a truly pathetic seizure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but there weren't 90+ killed redshirts. When there's a trial from Suthep I am certain that you will hear evidence that some of them (16 I think) were indeed killed by their own. Just like 1 sargent was killed by friendly fire . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the military disappear the girl a few days ago but the press get onto it which foils their dastardly plans then they plant a cache including four BB guns and some red truth today bags and backpacks in a nondescript temple and point a finger at the evil reds. Couldn't write this script Martial law will have to be in place for years to protect us from the BB guns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM07 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Does this tie into the recent detention of a woman for several days? She was released today and then this? Are you speculating?

candide Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Red shirts are really stupid! Whenever they hide weapons, they cannot help but put flags, t-shirts, bandanas, udd cards, etc...at the same place. For some unknown reason, they cannot resist it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in my opinion a truly pathetic seizure. Not true. Private citizens in the US cannot legally own live grenades. My home country has laws more stringent than the US. Yes, an oversight on my part. I've never owned a live hand grenade. I am unaware of their legality, however it's perfectly legal to own 50+ AK-47 and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, just to keep the government in check. I still insist this seizure is pathetic. I suspect it is a talking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waitforusalso Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Is this weapons cache similar to the one @ Wat Pathum? "As for the weapons allegedly found inside the temple and shown to the press later, the court said there was no evidence that the firearms were found inside the temple immediately after the incident. The court also questioned how alleged Blackshirts would be able to transport a cache of firearms into the temple without being detected by authorities who had heightened security around the protest site for days before the final military assault on 19 May 2010. The judge added that security forces never sent these weapons to undergo extensive forensic testing, a reluctance he said was "suspicious."" http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1375784432§ion=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in Thailand the saffron brothers are known for their honesty and integrity!! I grant you, not all of them unfortunately. Like some priests and pastors. So let's wait for a red-shirt group to go to a police station to complain their cache thought safely stored in a temple was cleared by 'unknowns' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
