Influential persons suppression committee? Huh?

Influential persons suppression committee? Huh?

There are still a few "Influential Red Shirt Leaders" around. They must be "suppressed" at all cost. Otherwise the Junta will not be able to bring true happiness to the Thai people.

Cheers.

He mentions ''many areas of Thaiand'' what areas/ part is going to be left out of the group who is doing the suppressing Do they have balls enough to start in the north, northeast , puket, pattaya, bangkok, and spread out to the as wind direction from those points without forewarning.

Locating neutral, unbaises, honest members for the committee might be delay its formation and start to work date. First chore is to get BIB, out of the equation completely. They are the first group to disarm and take illegal weapons from.

Another waste of tax payers money. Can't these people just stay home and watch cartoons like other kids?

Oh to be a fly on the wall of that meeting room.

Along with a little translator bug of course.

Prawit is in the news a lot these days and every single item is funny.

Give honest local business people a army escourt numbering 1000+_ supply a rail, hot tar, feathers and let them get rid of the undesirables. Place adequate army personel on perment sharpshooter duty with orders to shoot to kill any who attempt to return..

We have to find those who detest corruption and illegal action to run this country after we wipe the majority of the scum out and put the fear of the almighty in those overlooked, in hiding, etc

The I.F.S.C.,just what the country needs,why has this not been thought of before

"officials would continue to maintain the safety and peace in the area as usual. The authorities are working to solve the mistakes of the past."

Mistakes such as the military maintaining the safety and peace in the area as usual? If the military has been the mistake, it will never be the solution.

It has - following every coup d'etat.

Title missing some words:

DPM chairs "certain" influential figures suppression committee (but of course not our buddies)

Influential persons suppression committee? Huh?

Don't you just love their euphemisms?

Influential Figures Suppression Committee is as suitably vague as not selling alcohol ' near ' to an educational establishment and therefore open to the interpretation that best suits.

"The committee will focus on enforcing weapons regulations for the safety of the general public, while the government is to consider legislating against possession of firearms".

Hey!! America!! are you taking note?
