The world must be laughing its socks off!

 

This will not end in an arrest and trial but in a compromise deal behind the scenes, followed by some meaningless statement that it has been settled without harm to the country and everyone is happy.  The P.M. prepared the way for this with his statement a couple of days ago.

All  hail  the "Great Leader"

I have to go against the conventional wisdom of TV posters here.

 

(IMHO) The police are right to tread very carefully in this situation. Nothing can be lost by taking time to look at all the possible scenarios and outcomes (well, nothing except face).

 

I can see an enormous potential for some sort of tragic massacre when the police/troops eventually go in. Loyal followers of the monk will resist. Resistance may be passive BUT could include use of weapons, bombs, or incendiaries.

 

The situation could deteriorate extremely quickly. Thai authorities are not famed for coolness under pressure and the reaction could be severe. Think Waco.

 

Softly, softly, catchee monkey.

 

I agree this could be another Texas Waco type of thing with possibly a lot of casualties or even deaths. Would it be worth it looking at the alleged crimes committed?  Slow justice is still justice.
