Ex-cop who fired an RPG at Thai Defence Ministry jumps bail

[Langsuan Man]

Whoever wrote the children's rhyme sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me

Never heard of Thailand

A place where you get bail when you fire a war weapon at your boss but no bail if you SMS anything deemed to be offensive

Anyone who harms or intends harm to civilians needs to be brought to justice, but few from either side ever are. Two contrasting events;

One: In 2010, when the redshirts protested to dissolve the Abhisit government, over two hundred people were killed by gunfire, grenades... and No Coup occurred.

Two: In 2014 when the yellowshirts protested to have the Yingluk government dissolved, less than ten people were killed (one of whom, a redshirt child, burned to death in a redshirt bus that was attacked and set on fire near Don Mueng airport)...and there was a coup -- the 18th in less than a century.

I know you junta cheerleaders all like to group together in the hen shack and have a coffee, but don't you wonder why the rest of the world considers these two events overtly suspicious, completely irreconcilable, and altogether laughable?

Have a nice rant.

The problem with the ignorant in this world is that by definition, they are the last to realise.

You do know that in 2010, it was the red-shirts fighting the Army don't you : why on earth do you think that would start a coup ?. These are the 'peaceful' red-shirts of which this rocket-firing ex-policeman was one.

And during the last protests, 30 people were killed in over 80 terrorist attacks. Where do you get 10 from ?. Do you think you can just lie to suit what you want ?.

And the reason for the coup was not the number of deaths. It was the ongoing terrorist attacks against protestors by Pheu-Thai and their UDD thugs. They were given a chance by Prayuth to do something about it and they flat refused. Anyone with some sense knows it was because losing power meant Bogeyman losing any chance of another amnesty bill.

You should visit planet Earth one day : it's quite nice here but I think life might be a little too complicated for you to handle.

I just can't wrap my brain around as to WHY do they give the criminals BAIL!?!?!?!??! How many now have jumped bail and living in another country?
