Five years after Thai Red Shirt killings, wounds still fresh

[rubl]

Hope it serves as a daily reminder that when you ignore orders from authorities, burn building, burn tires, loot, launch grenades at overpasses, use babies as human shields, set up gas trucks as shields next to apartment buildings, invade meetings of world leaders, attack PM vehicles with weapons - then you are going to be dispersed with prejudice - I hope you never ever forget...

Yes, as the generals have taught them, they must sit quietly & not complain as successive unelected leaders are forced upon them.

73, 92, 2010.....

You may have missed that, but the "2010" should be "December 2007" I'm told.

It's hard to ignore the idiots.

everytime an article about the killings in 2010 comes out, a stream of inane, insensitive stupid hyperbole spews out onto the forum

But maybe they shouldn't be ignored. 2010 was a vicious crackdown and as one academic pointed out, the ones responsible now rule the country.

... and the ones responsible for creating the situation are either in self-exile or were thanked with a party-list MP seat. Maybe that also shouldn't be ignored even if five years have passed.

I suppose there were people like you at the time of the Warsaw Rising or the American Revolution or indeed the Dutch rising against their Spanish masters accusing the downtrodden of having " created the situation."

thanks - that is a rather concise way to put comments from the fascist dutch uncle into perspective....

Calling names is only a sign of incompetence, insecurity.

Showcasing one side, but totally ignoring the other side doesn't make a balance view. So, "Maybe that also shouldn't be ignored even if five years have passed."

As for the jaykids examples, remind me who was the learned gentleman from Cambridge or Oxford who managed to justify the crackdown of the Hungarian Uprising as necessary for Peoples Democratic Labourers Paradise ?

There were several well born Western fellow travellers, many as you suggest very well educated who approved the Russian military's crushing of democracy in Hungary.They were contemptible.There are unfortunately always people like this as we can see in Thailand although from the evidence of this forum they are these days neither well born nor well educated.

Perhaps these relatives should first come to Bangkok and apologize for burning Bangkok.

Exaggerating a little aren't we??

A shopping mall and a half was burned down!!

A shame they didn't manage to burn all Bangkok down. Maybe that would have woken up the feudal masters and made them realize that, their time is well and truly over.

Do not condone violence, but can understand that people can reach their breaking point after time and again having seen their constitutionally cast votes being voided by the army and/or the judiciary.

BTW.........Think for a moment, the system some posters here are supporting, is the very same system, that allowed the young Na Ayudhya to get away with killing nine people with only a slap on her wrist.

All about connecting the dots........................

"A shame they didn't manage to burn all Bangkok down"

You said it. Not me. You said it. This statement is definitely going in my files. You regret they didn't burn all of Bangkok down. You regret that the countries economy didn't collapse. You regret that millions of jobs were not lost including red shirt jobs of which millions come to Bangkok to send money up country. That is a very very dangerous statement and shows that no thought goes into the ramifications of ones actions when they become so frustrated at an inability to articulate a response they feel that violence is their only outlet. You have single handedly proven two things. That there are some very dangerous western UDD supporters that are part of that 7% minority and that immigration control at Bangkok airports needs to be stricter in deciding who they let into the country.

​Are you sure you are not Jeff Savage hiding behind that avatar?

​I am not angry with you for that comment. I pity you. I truly pity you for regretting that Bangkok was not all burned down.

He said and I quote "We're gonna smash the #ng Central plaza to sh*t. We're gonna steal everything out of it and burn the #r down. Trust me, get pictures of that #r. We're gonna loot everything, gold, watches, everything, and then we're gonna burn it to the ground,"

Also the many Dutch people who welcomed the Nazis.

Indeed, indeed. Some even joined the Nazi Armed Forces to fight Communism. There were even a few in the UK who thought they were fighting the wrong side, same in the USA. The Dutch government also kept a few skeletons about the "police actions" in Indonesia in deep and dark cupboards, for a few decades at least.

Anyway 2010 has many sides and a few here seem to like to highlight one while ignoring other sides. Even to the point of calling people names to help explain their own opinion.

Thanks! that's why I haven't changed my signature in a few years. They came all tough looking for a fight, got fought, ran away, and now whine like little babies about getting hit. Som nam na!

They came to Bangkok for a fight. Their masters urged them to bring bottles of gasoline to burn the place down. They were given ample warning to leave the area before the crackdown. And now they're blaming the army when they started the fight.
