Flashermac Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Figured it would be Sondhi. He and Thaksin are the two biggest problems in LOS. They are both extremely wealthy Chinese-Thais and were partners and allies, until they fell out. Now they are willing to destroy the country in their feud with each other. Sondhi pretends to be defending the monarchy; Thaksin claims to be fighting for "democracy". Both really just want power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sondhi_Limthongkul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Indeed, but this is an assassination attempt and once more the game changes and the stakes are raised.....if some will stoop to assassinations then we really are in deep shit. 100 rounds....they really tried!

Coss Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sondhi_Limthongkul Now that was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I've been wondering when this would start to happen. It is the next illogical step and the final offensive move for the losing party involved. A truly Thai move in any business dispute or loss of face scenario. Was expecting it sooner or later. More to come I imagine over the next few months. Watch and see if there isn't a reciprocal attempt on the square headed one overseas somewhere. Both have the money to carry out such attempts easily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think square-head-be-dead is the only way out of this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think some may see that as a solution. The problem is the making of martyrs can increase the rabidity of the martyr's followers. Could inflame rather than quench the fires of the parties involved. Surely this attempt on Sondhi's life will have repercussions? I can't imagine his followers to take this lying down. Jobs in personal security will be opening to those qualified I'd bet. And sales of bullet proof vests and limos should be brisk soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think this is very very bad - could be the tipping point for more violence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
