30 Killed Including Journalist In Thailand Protest

[Thepalmgate]

Red Shirt & Taksin !! You are terrorist!!!

[samfreethai]

It's a WAR CRIME

Those who ordered will face the world court!!!!!!!

[trihsder]

After 10 April 2010 ,The government claimed that there were armed 'terrerists' among the red-shirt. The casualties we have found were only bare hand people, a pragnent woman and a male nurse since April 10th. The question is " Were these casualties really terrerists?. Why there has not been soldiers lost in this Bangkok unrest?

[ayamkampung]

@trihsder yes if you check properly therea re soldiers being killed.

[advancedideas]

the thai people dont have guns wait till the shit hits the fan in usa that will be epic you have not seen anything yet . its all heating up i dont think that the goverment has any idea what there about to face its not like the old days god bless everyone be smart

[samfreethai]

Let's be honest!!!

The royal family is behind this crack down.

Time and time again the monarchy will do everything to hold on to power.

Like all dictators, Sadam, Burmist junta, killing unarmed people is an easy game (facing US army is not preferred).

[acquiringservices2]

@samfreethai exactly, its time to remove the cancer. head shots to own unarmed citizens is brutality and cruelty.

[jonbal2001]

rubber bullets vs slingshots.. what a classic encounter!

[TheCashistrash]

time for the thai people pick up their weapons and actually start killing the corrupt government officials they drew first blood. When the government shoots in own people with deliberate head shots you know something is already wrong with the government and its time to change it by force if necessary.

[tig3rkrus]

Who care much about Thaksin at this point is all about the damn Adbishit. He is well educated from uk but yet he dont know a damn shiit about the need of people in all area. He more concern about his image. If he a good pm he should step down and be concern about people that would show that he care.

[Jetlis1]

Thaksin are evil and do drugs for so manny years

[lyingfox7]

support Thaksin!

[backpacker9999]

Aeyvix4k @ppolymer

There was no evident at all to find that Thaksin bought the votes. The Democrat party always discradit others. Did you remember when Democrat showed the fake paper to discradit Banharn's party in the parliament? If you are not Thai you will never understand the real "Thai". Everything is not as you see but there are so many things that even Thai cannot speak out loud in public. That is the reason why it is very difficult to understand Thai in deep.

[IterProLibertasV]

@backpacker9999 This must be a very hard time for you and your people, i hope to see a peaceful resolution soon, but to think one is limited to the amount of empathy one can feel, is in correlation to ones nationality? The abuse is what we recognize, not the color of ones skin, or the soil near ones place of birth.

[marii9292]

Don't listen to Aeyvix4k to much ,, he sick

[e22lm]

We mostly know that Red-Shirt want people to be dead.

So they can accuse the army and government that so weak.

Last year they lied that Army killed people but no corpse to prove.

That's why they try to kill people in any suited situation and blame ARmy and government.

[skinnywhop87]

@e22lm

Sorry but you're wrong there were killings last year, just like this year... And it would've been just like last year w/ "no bodies" had the reporters been in the middle of the action... If you recall last year the media wasn't allowed in to cover the violence... The army tried to hide the bodies this year, and that's what ended up getting them caught

[u4617031]

@skinnywhop87 you think we are stupid ? There are many freelance blogger and photographer but not any of corpse has been found. I know red shirt are such a lier.

[halcyon0830]

The only group that isn't being Protested and Arrested are the Corporate Neocons in Washington and the AIPAC/PNAC America-Hijacking Criminal Foreign Agents in Washington.

When will Americans Wake up and Protest the things that are Completely Destroying America from the Inside Out.

[ezedward2003]

martial law is the best option at this time.

[restlys]

theres many things to be said about this...but ill take the opportunity to say that this newscaster is hot :)

[ORNGLOC]

its goin down!

[ourbloodyrevolution]

a journalist died!!??? finally something good came out of a protest! too bad it wasn't a reporter!

[FlowerClown]

Here is what I know from talking to friends. The people of Bangkok don't care about the red shirts. Red shirts are from a small part of Thailand in the north east which is the same place Thaksin is from. Thaksin was very corrupt but he also helped out his home town and when he was ousted they lost all there extra support. So now they are all funded by Thaksin to flood BKK and make problems. Yes there should be elections and a change of government but not because of the Red Shirts.

[DaeMaWong]

thai vs. japan... interesting.

[karhu1913]

Is there any Thai here who could explain this? Red shirts want elections but they support Thaksin, Thaksin was corrupt and fled to Europe.

[ppolymer]

@karhu1913 , yes - @karhu1913 , yes - Thaksin was the former Prime minister who was kicked out by the Army Coup. Thaksin was a civilian elected just like many before him in the past. The Army then installed their own govt just like the current one. The Army have done this before in the past with no problem. This coup is a problem because Thaksin is super popular and got re-elected many times even after the yellow shirts protest for him to step down. He did the re-election and got elected again

[karhu1913]

@ppolymer Hi, thanks. I have understanded the cycle of coup in Thailand and that you have respected king, I'm I right?

Atleast here in "western" media Thaksin has been played out as an corrupt, who fled.

Is that right? The news were pretty adamant about his corruption. I have no sides. I seek truth.

[ppolymer]

@karhu1913 , Western media simply reported as he's being charged with corruption in Thailand. Thaksin left Thailand before being trial because he said he couldn't get a fair trial and everything was made up by the Army. problem got worse when ppl started taking side yellow vs red. Red r from North, North East and some Central. Yellow from Central and South.

Yellow is accusing red of supporting Thaksin who they think is corrupted.

Red is accusing yellow of un-elected govt. and want Thaksin back

[Aeyvix4k]

@ppolymer You are telling only half of story, didn't mention that Thaksin got elected because he bought votes from the poor. He then came in power with corruption in mind. He was recently been sentence to several years in jail due to his largely proven corruption and conflict of interest by changing the law/contract benefiting his corporation ending up in 60Billion lost of government income. Now he's trying to threaten our democratic government to dissolve parliament.

[ppolymer]

@Aeyvix4k To be fair both sides bought votes. He was charged with some corruptions but he wasn't even there for the trial

I'm not saying he's not corrupted but..I want to see him in the court room

see the evidences and see him defend him self..

One is side telling one story and another side is telling another story

[Aeyvix4k]

@ppolymer Excuse me, you said you want to see him in court defending himself, right? After the coup left and we had an election, his nominee party won the election and come into power. Thaksin came back to Thailand for about 1 year or so before his final verdict of his corruption case which he was trying to buy the judges to free him from his crime. However, those lawyers he paid to bribe the judges was caught coz the judges notify the police so they ended up in jail for it.

[Aeyvix4k]

@ppolymer After Thaksin escape because he knew he would lose this corruption case, he assigned a team of lawyers to find evidence and defend for him so it's not the case of a one-sided hearing. He yelled at the top of his lung that he was bullied but as a Thai, I would like to say he kept bullying us all with his corruption and selfishness, even now setting up terrorist team to attack and kill soldiers which we could find lots of VDO as proof of what happened to our brave soldiers.

[Aeyvix4k]

@ppolymer On the buying votes, I can say from what has been proven by court case that Thaksin's political party did bought votes but for Democrat, they haven't been sentence to any vote buying case. So if you are a Thai, who would you rather believe the court or Thaksin's nominee party committees accusing the Democrat. I didn't say I believe in Democrat party of everything they do but comparing them, I choose not to believe any word coming out of Thaksin's side coz they lied all the time.

[tumnam123]

@Aeyvix4k very Party  bought votes

[Aeyvix4k]

@karhu1913 Some of the red shirts was brainwashed by Thaksin's campaign "class differences" which is totally BS. Thaksin lied to the Reds that he's been bullied by "Elite", in fact, he did corrupted and used his power to benefit his corporation and it's been proven by Court. He pulled the Monarch into this because he thought that he's got enough money to buy the poor and wanted to be President and change our constitutional monarchy into commnunist like Cambodia. Dreamed to be like Hun Sen.

[jthanya]

@Aeyvix4k

Please don't watch too much ASTV It's such a lier TV that Thailand ever has and If you have more free time please look for the magazines or the books that written about the history of Thai Politics please read them plenty, too. I don't want you to be just an idiot on this kind of the topics when the others read your comments

[Aeyvix4k]

@jthanya OH, you are talking about PTV, lying brainwashing TV Thailand's ever had. Just tell urself don't watch too much of it. You'll be more dumb than this. I know what I'm talking about and I'm sure that I got the correct information because I watch and read from varieties of news websites, TV, and magazines, unlike you watch and reading only Thaksin's distorted documents.

[boots920]

Looks like the peasants have had enough of the corruption. Same thing going on in Greece.

See how counterfeiting currency destroys society , how much in worthless US treasuries does the Thai central bank hold ?

[Scarecrow0089]

The magic number 30 again. Its always 30

@miclipz they zoomed in on a sign that said "We just want democracy"
