[ARocker101]

some of the protesters get paid to be there

[poucyclosnea]

did u all see that soldier firing? LOlz the gun kick his ass lolz I wondering if he got any training

[Fukarazi]

It is rubber bullet gun it is strong as heck it kick a lot.

[usespanner]

I think so. In my country the party of the violent demonstrators lost the election.

But there's a big difference: here the military hasn't got any power..

It was in the news in hungary:

"There's just one big question:

If a lot of people lost their work because of the demonstarton,will they punish the government or the opposition party?"

good luck!

[KhmerSerey1]

the yellow shirts got way and theyare happy now,but what about the red shirts supporters of thaksin and somchai ?

[watergrass5150]

"I remember that day well. He knocked my head against the wall. I was covered in blood," she explained. "I knew this was the end of our marriage."

[banzaidawan]

Over 1,000,000 people in Thailand will lose their jobs due to the negative impact of this airport action. Who's going to pay for that? The Thai people

[huangpei69]

those demonstrating Thai are communist, majority voted for the current government and yet they want to toppled the government.

why create problem for tourists? Idiots!!!

[kevi8587]

my brother is in thailand and stranded he goes to thailand all the time good job i aint there

[newcomer9747]

stupid cop can't fire a gun lol

[XMARINEmax]

Obviously PAD Anti-democracy movement don't understand true democracy itself. They are doing the military's job and will let in a non-elected corrupt miltary backed puppet regime. The present governement were actually democratically elected by a majority.

[theagent3]

This is old news. They need to get back that airport.

[samkoi56]

Madness!!

[CalifSunshine2008]

Have things calmed down?

[clairvoyanteyes99]

[gnoynoi]

[KhmerSerey1]

happy sonkran thailand !!

[Fukarazi]

Was that real bullet or plastic at 0:22?

[danoinreno]

WHAT ARE THEY PROTESTING ???

[liuyeefei]

They are protesting for their new leader........AP.

[tknspanda]

It's quite sad that we cannot really get the straight facts out of this. Reason? The queen is behind the PAD mob and so the justice/investigation will be distorted.

[palmisano]

So . . . who did shotgun cop actually fire at? Did the camera pan and see? No one reported shotgun wounds . . .

[DowningBOR0]

What happen @ 0.23~

[TVL001]

Few days laters the polices admitted that they used low quality tear gas from China which been bought since 1993 it may damage 2 dead cos its quality n shootin in da wrong position. SoStill no Apologize U r so coward!!! Blaming on dead ppl who cant defend themselves.. !!!! Police esp big boss!!! !!Show some Responsibilities!!!! 2 were dead but still ppl injured losing their body rotten wounded !!!Rather than Blaming Ironying the dead!!!

[TVL001]

Yes.still confirm unarm.n the slingshot things u said I didnt notice can u give me link? all I know is unarmed ppl were attacked and F16 polices did use n someone throwin sth out 2 ppl n then hidin in policegroup so clearlylive fromTV every channel n Video n blogs n survivors ive know said it all

[TVL001]

Police big boss said 2 TVpress that noon bout situation "We use normal teargas which widely use around da world n nobody dead There Are Some PPL RUNNING Stampin n fallin until Lost some legs"-----ohhh Have u ever seen ppl running and then boooom legs just gone away??? How can normal ppl running and their legs just torn n gone...So creative thinking person.

[TVL001]

Theyve just ruined the important evidence b4 the Forensic Science process Didnt polices need 2 know which kind of bomb killed him if he was a suspicious person in bomb carriage??? 2 prove the claim over this man so ppl will know that some protester got a bomb n tryin 2 attack da polices as they claimed it b4 then....IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE FOR POLICES

[TVL001]

1 why he can died infront of special operation office division where plenty of police around there  Why polices didnt see him n let him in that area... 2 after explosion THE BIG QUESTION FOR POLICES REACTION IS ....WHY.THE DAY AFTER THE MAN EXPLODED 2 DEAD THE POLICES HAD RE-PAINTED THAT AREA WHICH EXPLOSIVE RESIDUES SPREAD ALL OVER THE WALL ???----BEFORE THE FORENCIS SCIENCE PROCESS BEGIN????

[TVL001]

Q The police had a duty+this protest was illegal-->...Which law peaceful protest=illegal? n i think police duty is 2 take care of their ppl not 2 kill

SHOOTIN DIRECTLY TOWARDS PPL WITHOUT WARNING there is no excuse

Q protesters were storage the weapon (pingpong bomb)-->only ur suspicion that claimed he died because his own handmade bomb

[MisterMarlow]

The police had a duty to clear this protest, because it was illegal. The only issue is with the methods used. In reality, it seems that only one person was killed in the actual policing operation, and forensics have suggested that the wound of this person (as well as those of others) were likely inflicted by inappropriately produced teargas canisters. Unfortunately the media, the PAD, the military and the opposition all have something to gain by keeping focus off the facts.

[romancing666]

[tarantulian]

ระเบิดปิงปอง บาน พธม ควยถอก

[sopidabkk]

What you see just only one side. If you see another side and the fact reason why have 2 ppl got kill, you will know what happen.

First person who got kill that from car bomb which the protesters were storage the weapon (pingpong bomb). No body talking about this case even media.

Second the woman who got kill by teargas (They said that) from the picture and her younger sister interview she said that Her sister got kill by bomb not teargas because where they stand no teargas....

[Kreicherisch]

I really want Thaksin to go to hell, and do not come back on earth again.

[thaipp924]

I really sad abt my country. The land of smile

Everytime when I saw the video, I am crying

I think the King Bhumibhol was crying too.

God bless Thailand

[sodasoap]

fucking pigs

[KhmerSerey1]

Happyy 4TH of the july thailand ;)

[KhmerSerey1]

Happy 4th of the july !! tai laev !!

[TVL001]

Were the polices know that shooting teargas directly toward ppl can be so harmful 2 death? there is no other country do such thing and make ppl's legs or any body part torn apart

[TVL001]

there r controversial Was it only tear gas used in attacking ? and

Which kind of tear gas that cause such severe damages 2 human body?

[TVL001]

The attack ended around 8pm about 10 times consequences attacking

Until late night number of ppl injured reach to 400 up and 2 were dead since that morning

[MisterMarlow]

One of the dead was a former police officer and brother-in-law of a PAD leader. He is alleged to have carried explosives on his person at the time of death. He did not die in the course of the main policing operation, and the circumstances surrounding his death at an exploding vehicle raise serious questions, not least regarding his own activities on that day.

[TVL001]

There were doubting why Polices didnt stop From 1st attack But shootingd been continued and more ppl  injured.

[TVL001]

In that morning there was 4 coma.Hundreds injured with some losing feet/legs /hand/eye/toes U can see it broadcasting live in every channel in da morning that ppl running away, bleeding,and some lost their legs

[TVL001]

7oct2008 polices attacked protesters with tear gas 6 in morning without warning Protesters r unarmed citizen and also contains children and ppl more than 60 Yrs

[MisterMarlow]

Some where clearly shown to be armed with slingshots, clubs and explosives. Also, the PAD had used barbed wire to close off the road. This does not excuse any excessive use of force by the police, but any claim that the PAD were "unarmed citizens" is misleading.

[TVL001]

When the evidences of Thaksin government massive corruption revealed, ppl from all over the country have been continuingly gathered since then for peacefully protest(2yrs ago). Afterthat thaksin n family fled 2 UK avoiding corruption charges. New /current govt (aka thaksin puppet govt with old politicians old party change leader same policy ) by primeminister Somchai(Thaksin bro in law)inherit thaksin will and power , so the peaceful protest still goes on.

[SermSkr]

These pretesters are backed up by groups of lost benefits.  Everytimes they refered for protection the Thai royal is the big reason for protesting. But their leaders of the jerk are from bankrupt, lost election groups and some of mental disorder doctrin.

[iamjinko]

[konlaoz]

[leballroom]

[madamdearzii]

เกิดมาไม่เคยเกลียดอะไรเท่า นรกป่วนชาติและตำรวจเลวๆมาก่อนเ­รย... ชั่วจริง!!

[thapany]

I think that no matter the protesters's belief is right or wrong,police still puniched them violently.

[phanorn6]

คุณยังเป็นคนไทยหรือเปล่าครับ ถึงได้สมน้ำหน้าคนไทยด้วยกัน

[iamjinko]

Yes !!

and I agree with u.

[botallica]

Thai police are bitch !!!

They not accept that they used

cheap tear gas by shoot to the people

directly to the body.So that many protesters

was loss his/her hand and leg even life.

Thai police suck !!! and you autumnz1004 suck to u are bitch motherfucker !!!

[whanoftherings]

Taksin wants to own thailand & thai people. He has so much money and he can help thailand or this world better than this just like bill gates but he chose to have power instead. Power kills people! He has no country to live. How can taksin & his family will be proud of himself. He will die without dignity!

Thai peope is killing each other becasue of the stupid TAKSIN! why ??? b/c all the goverment people now have to beg for money from him??? How can thailand will be a developed country???

[oumtulip]

it's been proved they used made-in-China tear gas which can explode when it hit hard surface and can cause death and serious injury. It's not the usual US tear gas kind that the smoke would just spurse out from the ball when it hit hard surface. People actually lose their limps from this incident and have been prove it's not from carrying own bomb, otherwise it would be much more severe damage

[myenduser]

rubber ball

[thaiwobb]

Isn't using tear gas standard practice all over the world for crowd control? I see it in every country when they tried to disperse uncontrolled mob. someone else already mentioned that no PAD protester were injured from gunfire.

there're many more picture showing PAD protester have in their possession what look like a pingpong bomb, Jumbo-firecracker, and pistol.

enough said, i'm on the side of those who tried to restore order for the country.

[autumnz1004]

exactly...

they tried to stir shit again, people who doesn't know that tear gas is used all over the world believe them when they say it's a war weapon...

and they're rich people with no brain.

people from countryside even know better...

[shinkyoto]

BTW how much they buy you?

1000 or 2000?

[champbaka]

The international community knows at heart who are the guilty party here, but in Thailand lots of idiots say that the protesters were injured from their own bombs..even with actual clips and evidence of police throwing the grenades. I just don't know how idiotic some Thai ppl can get.

[tknspanda]

It's a rubber gun anyway.

Reportedly, no PAD protesters was injured from the bullet or gunfire. Most of them were injured from the teargas and the effect of the bomb, tear gas grenades.

[damnthugsin]

The guy at 00:22s can't be a policeman, he didn't even know how to hold a gun.

[tknspanda]

Here's what happened on that day from a report of foreign journalist.

google "New Mandala" + "What happened on 7/10/2008?"

you will know the truth whether the PAD used bombs, ping pong grenade, pistol toward the police or not.

The police were trying to fence the angry PAD mob off themselves.

[kenchiro69]

How much money do Taksin has in Thailand, now? it is more than billions dollars!!

What is going on? if he thinks about to get them back by sharing some for the same side politicians, Somchai, his man on the leader of Thai army and police department.

I believe that Taksin will never let his money, that he ripped off from taking advantage over Th people, to be confiscated by law without any intention.

[kenchiro69]

Taksin, Did you rig Somchai to make up the situation, in order to support the immigrated proposal to escape to England?

You are such more than an asshole coward!!

For anyone who is still thinking Taksin is the best leader that you have ever had.

Be more open-minded, if politicians, officers, polices..ect. still can not be forced under the same law, it is too soon to ask for the same standard..it will never be

[nics5959]

ตํารวจไทย =  โจรในเคื่องแบบ

[AtticuzFinch]

FUCKING TERRIBLE.

Thaksin is the NEW HITLER of the world.

He's lower than animal now.

Thai people should hang him asap.

[autumnz1004]

YOU are lower than animal now and you just don't notice it.

[nwathan]

Thaksin, you can run but you can't hide. What a coward escaping to England... The people you killed will follow you and meet you when you die. You MURDERER!!!

[kko102]

Taksin is a key figure in money politic but somchai is a political puppet. They tried to protect billionary Taksin by using of less knowledge of people from country sides against its fellow citizenship.

[rxmxwell2]

somchai wongsawat committed crimes against humanity when, on Oct. 7, 2008, he ordered police with war weapons to shoot directly into the peacefully protesting crowds.

[hoktula]

what a BS ! "peaceful" ? give me a break ! they are THUGS !

"he ordered police with war weapons "

have you noe SHAME to say such a LIE ?

police were UNARMED ! they used a tear gas, nothing else.

"crimes against humanity" my ass !

this is a hypocrisy ! was Suchinda EVER even charged, not to speak tried and punished as he deserved? and you can't seriously compare Somchai with Suchinda !

[peipei124]

You're a moron didnt you see that police fell down after shooting a rifle? Get a life get some backbone. You must be one of the ahole police right?

Thai police are dogs. My uncle is a police and even him and his wife say police are dogs.

[sugarmama313]

yeah, watch the clip

the police were TOTALLY unarmed

[thaiwobb]

Weapon of war? gimme a break. see my earlier comment about tear gas.

BTW, in that clip, what's in the police hand (the guy that fell down because of recoil) is just a standard shotgun, commercially available for the public if you have reason and license to buy it.
