Wallenda Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 The Regime shows the world the real face - once again. :offline: When the redshirts hurled bombs and grenades and threatened to blow up skytrain stations, were they showing their real face by doing that? Not sure what country you live in, but I'm guessing the results would be similar there if a mob stormed the parliament building, blocked downtown areas for weeks, tried to storm an army base(?!?!?!) etc etc. The question is how many countries in the world would have put up with this for as long as they have. I mean, be real. They've been trying their hardest for almost a month to provoke some kind of crackdown -- daring them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardy641 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 A Regime don't talk - they shoot, as everywhere on this planet. You must be really brainwashed. If in Switzerland or Germany mob troops of a convicted ex dictator would paralyze the whole capital, the reaction of the government would be much harsher. And they would have my absolute support. I was working in Langsuan and saw many of these called democracy fighters. I am sure not even 10% of them have the slightest clue what about a democracy is. They are a paid mob of desperate ex dictator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
