Another sign of the times to come.

[JOC]

Whoever is behind this meaningless violence.

Red, yellow or blue, I hope you realize, that hurting innocent people is never the way to go!!

Will sadly only create a even more divided society!!

And to the people placing to bombs, time to realize, that you are only being used as pawns by the paymasters.

[uty6543]

The red shirts don't think they can win the next election but think they can bomb their way back into power. Don,t think that will work try another plan.

Well done Sir!!

Within half an hour of the incident taking place you have already decided the motive and placed the blame.

Almost faster than the RTP.

As for the elections, why do you think they are put on hold?

Maybe, just maybe because the powers are fully aware of, that free elections will see another red government.

Now we are just waiting for the police to reveal that they have found red shirt memorabilia and ID cards on the crime scene. And one of the ID card names had a FB account with the username B OMB.

Narrow minded people like you are more dangerous than any bombs..............

It does fit the redshirt SOP, which is to use explosives to terrorize, but not inflict mass casualties and death. Other than that, proof of any connection will have to wait.

It is not often that I agree with you but this time is 100%.

There are too many keyboard warriors on ALL sides ready to jump in and blame the other side because "Our side would never do anything like that" no matter which side says it first.

In a few posts it will be

But but Suthep....... or But but Thaksin..... or But but Yingluck.... etc ad nauseum

Go on then expand my mind who else has been planting bombs in Bangkok in the last few years? If evidence is found that it was not the Red shirts I will be surprised, wont you?

Small bomb explosion injures a garbage collector on Sukhumvit 101



BANGKOK: -- A garbage collecting employee of Bang Na district office was injured when ping pong bomb inside a garbage bin exploded on Sukhumvit 101 Tuesday morning.

Virat Sitthipanya, 21, the garbage collector, was removing the garbages inside the bin to the dump truck when two explosions were heard.

He was rushed to nearby hospital for wound on the right hand.

Forensic and Explosive Ordnance Disposals were alerted of the explosions and arrived at the area for inspection.

The scene at Soi Vajiratham Satit 14 off Sukhumvit 101 was sealed off traffic for fear of more explosions.

Later they said the explosions were from small or ping pong bombs in the garbage bin which might be thrown by gangsters to avoid police checkpoints.

Royal Thai Police commissioner Pol Gen Somyot Phumphanmuang said this morning that he was reported of the explosions, and said the ping pong bombs might belong to teenagers engaged in a brawl but threw them away in the bin to avoid police check.

Gangsters, brawling teenagers, well that's two classes of suspects down and more to come so standby next for the usual list of possible motives plus possibly Songkran ' revelry '. After the contradictory statements about Samui i doubt anything's been learned.

If these were the so called 'ping pong bombs' then they are used by farmers to scare birds from crops are readily available.

If they are then it is very unlikely that there was any political intent more likely that someone (probably young) took them to BKK to use in some gang related thing or just to throw around in songkran, then dumped them when they thought they might get caught.

Although why they would explode when dumped from the bin to the rubbish truck is a mystery for they are usually very stable and a fuse needs to be lit to make them explode.

[BSJ]

Are these in the pix what your talking about as ping pong bombs? We use them to scare the birds away. They have a fuse which needs to be lit to make them explode.

I wondered how long it would take the government to blame the "Red Shirts", but you beat them to the punch. Please enlighten us as to your evidence.

There is no evidence the "Red Shirts" are doing this any of these bombings. They aren't taking the credit for them and if they aren't then what's the point.

But that's OK, you and everybody else blame the "Red Shirts" because this is the only way the opposition will win the next election. If enough blame is thrown their way then something is bound to stick, yeah? Isn't that the theory?

IF ... the largest word in the English langauge ... and IF my Aunt had a Willy, she would be my Uncle .. your point is?

[bryanlunadelacruz]

I hope there's no Burmese on that area...

they might be tagged as the main suspect....

not those...they are the mod pingpong balls where it is split in the middle and stuffed with some gunpowder and shrapnel.

Looks like the guys who make the 2% in the recent polls about government popularity are getting serious now.

Now I'm waiting for the quote of a high ranking official stating: it was most probably the act of someone who was dissatisfied with the garbage disposal- no political background was detected thus far. Tourists are safe.

Yep ping pong bombs. and according to some geniuses here Thaksin the billionaire used them to blow up a bin in Bang Na.

[Aussiescott]

These half baked bombs will only justify recent changes to the constitution and help bring in more draconian laws. Happening all around the world, just false flags events if you ask me.

Maybe it was uty6*** who did it, just to blame the red shirts for something.

[Jim walker]

Those cowardly yellow shirts at it again trying to bomb and kill the poor working class of Thailand once again.

[empireboy]

It's sad (in my mind) that you feel the need to be Judge and Jury unless you have facts at hand that we mortals don't.

As far as we (mortals) know, the motive could be one of many and therefore the same goes for the perpetraters.

Mindless judgements can make more havock than bombs sometimes!

[Jimbo1964]

Luckily the bin men were only slightly injured, I'm sure their families were worried sick. Hope they have a full and speedy recovery.

[bino]

They have a fuse which needs to be lit to make them explode.

When we were teenagers we would fill the ping pong balls with "strike anywhere" match heads. They will ignite on hard impact or being crushed.

the ping pong bombs might belong to teenagers engaged in a brawl but threw them away in the bin to avoid police check.

Can the plod work out if there was in fact a police checkpoint in the area since this bin was last emptied? If there was, it would give a lot of plausibility to this being true.

I am sorry for the garbage collectors who were injured in the course of doing their job, but overall this is almost a non-event. The headline borders on newsmongering as it comes on the heels of a larger and more deadly blast in Samui.

As mentioned above, it is sure to bring out the rainbow of keyboard warriors who would have otherwise ignored the topic if it was titled "City workers injured while emptying trash bins".

Ping pong bombs? Injured three people? Who probably get injured a lot anyway on a very hard job? If every garbageman who got injured on the hand warranted an article, there would be nothing else in the paper.

But, since everyone is all worked up, I think it was the:

jihadists or

yellow shirts or

red shirts or

the junta or

Yingluck herself or

Suthep himself or

gangsters or

the Dalai Lama or

some meddling kids.

And I'm sure of it. I could be a local cop!
