I know what those street thug, bully boy stormtroopers are. 

 

The ones shooting at the international press ensured you don't know.

Nonsense. 

 

Just because you can only see what you want to see, does not make you right.

You only saw what they wanted you to see, that is what I am saying, and that is a fact, they censored the Thai press and scared away the international press, we have no idea what went on.

I know what the UDD are. 

 

I know what they have done in the past and will do again given half the chance.

You're right that the UDD are not a political party, they are a pack of mercenary propagandists and agitators paid to put the Shinawatra view and cause unrest, while claiming to be the leaders of a political movement, also Shinawatraa funded, without any real claim to leadership other than being appointed by the man who pays the bills.

As such, why should anybody CARE what views Thida has been ordered to express? Neither as a private citizen, or as a paid propagandist, does she much influence on where when or how the RTA decides to hold an exercise.

Why should anyone "CARE", you ask. Well, why don't you look in the mirror and ask yourself that question since you obviously do so enough to write several posts about her statement.

BTW, the junta certainly cares.

 

PS. I find it very amusing to read the posts of people who waste no chance criticizing the UDD (or any other red shirt affiliated organisation) for not being elected while supporting a military junta.

The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

Do you think that they may have been incited?  They were mowed down by a woman who was never charged, shot by the army who denied it, shot again by the army and again they denied it, they were forbidden the chance to speak about their cause, the press was forbidden from reporting on any incident involving them unless they gave the official line.  I don't doubt that they have been violent, but I do doubt the one sided story that has been told about them, as do the worlds press by the way.

Thida Thavornseth, a leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), said Thursday that she suspected that there was a link between an ongoing military drill in Lamphun and the verdict that former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra will receive on August 25.

 

With some 700 clicks between the two events, maybe Thida should lay off the Thai stick...

Some of you guys really need to find alternative methods to let off steam

 

Thida could be right, she could be wrong

 

And the military could care less either way

As I said, people who waste no chance criticizing the UDD (or any other red shirt affiliated organisation) for not being elected while supporting a military junta, in other words a group of un-elected people who have taken power in a country and suspended basic human rights.

I wasn't thinking of you when writing this, if that's what you're asking.

No I don't think they were ever invited. 

 

They were formed specifically to be street thug stormtroopers and that's what they are. 

[Bluespunk]

Incited not invited.

They consisted of a great number of people recruited throughout the country, there were farmers, taxi drivers and university lecturers within those crowds that were attacked, your labelling of them as stormtroopers is presumably intended to justify their being attacked so harshly, as though stormtroopers are strong enough to withstand automatic gun fire.  They were actually people from Thailand, whereas stormtroopers are fictional characters from Starwars.  Anyway, how can anyone deny that shooting at people could not incite them to retaliate?  Ludicrous.

Referring to Thailand or the government as a dictatorship, military dictatorship or other such terms will be removed.

I wrote one post about her statement, and one rebutting a similar comment to yours. NB: I did NOT criticise the UDD for not being elected, I stated what the ARE.

 

If you wish to refute that assessment, feel free. But note that the hypocrisy lies with those that accept the UDD's false claim to be some body trying to advance Thai democracy, rather than Shinawatra shills. I await the day of their court case, inexplicably further delayed.

You need to learn more history. Google stormtroopers and you will see who I am comparing them to. 

 

The UDD stormtroopers are used by the puppet master to intimidate political opponents and are prone to violence when disagreed with. 

 

I call them stormtroopers because of their penchant for such violence.

Army risks civil war if Yingluck goes to jail. But they are prepared to kill own people again as many times before to protect elites.

But democracy certainly was and by all accounts she was the last representative of a democratic system.

Not sure how true that is, given she was removed as a direct result of anti-government protests, it doesn't get any more democratic than that, it got so bad she was forced to call a snap election ..that was when she lost her grip,

 

The military only took control because Thailand was descending into chaos due to the Shinawatra family royally shitting the democratic bed.
