Reds storm hospital

If you are going to make quotes at least get your facts right, there is no such publication as the Pyongyang Daily only Choson Sinbo, People's Korea and Sinboj.

 

Therefore your posting is more bullshit than the articles in The Nation than you are complaining about. There is no need to make you look a twat, you do a perfectly good job of that yourself.

Suthep: Remove blockage of reds

 

The Centre for the Solutions of Emergency Situations (CRES) has late this morning ordered police to dismantle the red-shirts barricades on Ratchadamri road to allow access to the emergency entrance gate of Chulalongkorn Hospital.

 

“I have this time made a clear order that the metropolitan police must remove the blockage. If they fail to comply with the order, I will have others to do the jobâ€Â, Deputy Prime Minister and the CRES head Suthep Thaugsuban said on Saturday.

 

It was reported that leaders of the United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) had ordered their guards to dismantle the blockage even if the order was opposed by army specialist Maj Gen Khattiya Sawasdipol, widely known as Seh Daeng.

 

Weng Tochirakarn, a UDD core leader, announced at Ratchaprasong intersection rally stage that Maj Gen Khattiya had nothing to do with the red-shirts and that the blockage must be removed as ordered.

Yet again Dr Weng and his immortal words "NOTHING TO DO WITH US"

 

I wonder if he has been reading the board

Weng criticises Khattiya for ordering red shirts to rebuild bunkers at Saladaeng

 

Weng Tojirakarn said Saturday that Maj Gen Khattiya Sawasdipol had no rights to interfere in the decision of red-shirt leaders who ordered the removal of bunkers blocking the entrance to Chulalongkorn Hospital on Rajdamri Road.

 

Weng said protesters, who rebuilt the bunkers there, violated the order of the red-shirt leaders.

 

On Friday, protesters at the Lumpini Park removed the bunkers in line with the order of the leaders at Rajprasong but later in the evening they rebuilt the bunkers at the order of Khattiya, a suspended Army specialist.

 

"Seh Daeng [Khattiya] has no rights to order red-shirt guards to rebuild the bunkers," weng said.

 

Weng said the red-shirt leaders ordered Suporn Atthawong to remove the bunkers that block the part of Rajdamri Road in front of the hopsptial.

 

"Seh Daeng should not interfere in the works of the red-shirt movement," weng said.

Protesters at Saladaeng snub leaders' order to remove bunkers

 

The red-shirt protesters at the Lumpini Park refused to remove the bunkers on Rajdamri Road in front of Chulalongkorn Hospital in line with the order of the leaders at the Rajprasong Rally site.

 

Jatuporn Promphan, a red-shirt leader, announced at the Rajprasong rally site that the leaders sent Suporn Atthawong to remove the bunkers in front of the hospital.

 

But when Suporn arrived at the Saladaeng Intersection at 11 am, he encountered Maj Gen Khattiya Sawasdiphol, who would not allow the removal.

 

Khattiya said troops could be easily deployed to crush the protesters without bunkers. The protesters at the scene listened to Khattiya and would not allow Suporn to remove the bunkers.

 

Khattiya said the leaders at Rajprasong must come to the scene to win approval from the protesters at the intersection first before the bunkers could be removed.

 

While the tension was running high, Suporn backed down, announcing he would not remove the bunkers.

Reds criticise hospital evacuation

 

Leaders of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) slammed management at a Bangkok hospital Saturday, saying its chaotic evacuation of patients was a ploy to make the anti-government group look bad.

 

The red-shirts have faced heavy criticism after about 100 supporters raided Chulalongkorn hospital Thursday evening under the mistaken belief it sheltered security forces preparing a crackdown, following deadly street violence.

 

The 1,400-bed hospital evacuated most of its patients because of the incident, and UDD leaders have apologised profusely.

 

"The hospital did not hear our apology. They dramatised the evacuation of patients, turning it into a tragedy to paint Red Shirt people as bad," UDD core member and opposition Puea Thai Party MP Jatuporn Prompan said in news conference.

 

"We have been made to look like terrorists and very soon the crackdown will begin," he added.

 

The red-shirts, who have occupied sections of Bangkok for over a month in their bid to force snap elections, have alleged the hospital was used in an April 22 grenade attack on a pro-government rally that killed one and wounded dozens.

 

The government said the grenades were fired from inside the UDD's camp -- an accusation the movement has denied.

 

Tensions are high in Bangkok following the worst political violence in almost two decades which has left 27 people dead and almost 1,000 injured this month in a series of bloody confrontations.

 

Thailand's Medical Council criticised the storming and asked protesters to respect medical personnel, while police said they would deploy 100 officers to the hospital to ensure neither security forces nor Reds use the grounds.

 

Many of the demonstrators come from Thailand's rural poor and urban working classes and seek the return of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup and now lives overseas to avoid a jail term for corruption.

 

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva vowed to prosecute those who were involved in the hospital incident.

Maybe because it was an act of Terrorism

Actually I can see Colorwolf's point about Twitter -- tweets are not a legitimate news source. Anyone can type anything on Twitter.

 

Also I don't think anyone who watched that Foreign Correspondent doc about lese majeste could feel too trusting of the Nation as a credible newspaper, regardless which side of this you're on. That said, it's probably not nearly as bad as certain British tabloids in its one-sided take on things.

The stages of red logic when incidents happen:

 

1. It didn't happen.

 

2. It didn't happen like that.

 

3. It happened like that, but we had nothing to do with it.

 

4. It happened like that, but it was fake reds.

 

5. It happened like that and involved (insert name of red leader here), but (insert name of red leader here) has nothing to do with reds.

 

6. It happened like that, but the other guys did it to make us look bad.

 

7. We never said (1-6).

 

8. This is Thai business, not yours.

 

9. What incident?

 

All part of their "lie about everything take responsibility for nothing if we say it enough it must be true" monkey-fucking-a-football ways.

So typically Thai then?
