Flashermac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Reports The Nation: Red Shirts seized a cooking gas truck and placed it in front of the Din Daeng flats and threatened to blow it if the troops advance to disperse them. They also released some gas as warning. Some residents of the flats have moved out for fear of fire and explosion. --- The police have also warned petrol stations that they may be Red Shirt targets. Now who was that army officer last year who claimed he was training pro-Thaksin guerrillas to make Molotov cocktails to attack Thai soldiers, if they intervened?

Flashermac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 He's joined them. He's out there in red Lederhosen as their official yodeller. Rumours say the Red Shirts goon squads are getting 2,000 baht a day. I'm almost tempted by that at the moment. From the BBC: << Mr Thaksin, who addresses his supporters by telephone from self-imposed exile abroad, called for a "revolution" on Sunday. "Now that they have tanks on the streets, it is time for the people to come out in revolution," he said in a message shown on giant screens near the prime minister's office. "And when it is necessary, I will come back to the country." >> Link p.s. He'd better win, or he is NEVER coming back to the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waerth Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I just came of the phone with a police friend of mine as I was getting pissed of with the police doing nothing. He is a very nice guy and he speaks perfect English and he is a Colonel. He explained that it was very simple. Even if a government, any government would order them to go in, they wouldn't do it. Not because they like the protesters. But because of the law. He said the last few times the police did anything towards any protesters the commanding officers found themselves in front of criminal court and were disgracefully dismissed from service. He said no sane police officer would have themselves disgraced anymore for following orders from any government being red, yellow, blue. As they would always betray them afterwards by letting the police officers take the fall for the failure of the government. He said he is personally itching to put down the riots. Willing to be wounded in the process. But he isn't willing to be disgraced for doing his duty and following orders. He said that the majority of the police officers is feeling that way. The problem is with the law according to him. There are laws protecting protesters rights. There are no laws that protect a police officer from acting against protesters even when under orders from the government. The police officers are by law responsible for any wounded from their actions. Even when ordered. and that is why they will not do anything.
