Reds storm hospital

The Supreme Patriarch is the highest buddhist authority, not a Royal.

But the princess had been to visit the Supreme Patriarch two days before the redneck invasion.

 

Photo on the front page of Thai papers of a nurse in tears as the aged and ailing SP was moved from the hospital. To Thai Buddhists, the SP is almost like the Pope. Yet the rednecks treated him like dirt.

 

The red leaders spend much of their time apologising for the actions of their looney followers and denying they had anything to do with it. So do the "leaders" really have any power over the mob at all?

Ah gotcha.

 

It seems like it depends which course of action they'll take:

 

* if it's captured on video and the perpetrators are all wearing red shirts and clearly guilty, they apologize

 

* for all other scenarios they deny

Flash.......I think Mekong posted this same story just a few posts ago. Maybe 10 back???

 

KS.....just my opinion.....but this is becoming as bad as the US Presidential crap that happened before with threads all over the place. A million threads about the same thing. Any way to combine them into one and just have it run it's course there?

This is a THAI board and this is THAI news.

 

If the posts were on USA360 then you would have a point!

Understood. In fact, I understood it when Mekong said it. Then I understood again when KS said it. Guess now I understand it, AGAIN, when you say it. Dead horse getting beaten badly.

You were away for a while and nobody got to beat on you. Now they are making up for it.

 

Meanwhile ... back at the topic:

 

 

Is it real or just a black joke?

 

 

Opinion by by Veera Prateepchaikul

 

 

 

As a flood of condemnation from far and wide is heaping upon a group of red-shirt guards for the raid of the Chulalongkorn Hospital last Thursday night, a Puea Thai MP has set out to investigate how and why the media was allowed to cover the evacuation of the patients in a way which he feels has violated the patients' right to privacy.

 

It is unthinkable how a member of parliament with sanity will want to find fault with authorities concerned for allegedly allowing the evacuation of patients at Chulalongkorn Hospital last Thursday night to be monitored and broadcast by the media – an act which is deemed a violation of the rights to privacy of the patients.

 

But Dr Prasit Chaiviratana, an opposition Puea Thai MP and chairman of the House public health affairs committee, has wanted just that. He has scheduled a committee meeting and has invited director of Chulalongkorn hospital, Dr Adisorn Patthradoon, Medical Council chairman and metropolitan police chief to testify to the committee about the media coverage and broadcast of the evacuation operations.

 

The good doctor might be really concerned with the patients’ rights to privacy and might feel that their rights have been breached allegedly with the three authorities concerned not doing enough to protect their rights. But his concern appears to have been poorly misplaced.

 

[color:red]By focusing his probe on the role of the media and probably the alleged negligence on the part of the authorities concerned, the Puea Thai MP has clearly demonstrated his political immaturity and his complete lack of sensitivity to the outrageous incident perpetrated by red-shirt guards led by Payap Panket a core leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD).[/color]

 

[color:red]Any individual with a modicum of common sense will unhesitantly hold the red-shirt raiders accountable for the senseless act and, probably, laud the media for telling the truth to the public about the plight of the patients at the hands of red-shirt hooligans as well as that of the medical staff at Chulalongkorn Hospital.[/color]

 

And if he really wanted to find out how the patients or their families feel about their rights being trampled upon by the media, the medical staff of the red-shirt thugs, then they should be invited to give his committee their side of the stories. If he is open-minded enough, his committee will certainly be treated with an earful of unpleasant stories about the red-shirt guards’ unbecoming conduct from, among them, the nurses - some of whom were sexually harassed.

 

Failing to include these people in the probe, the whole enquiry process by the committee should better be dropped, at least to spare the Puea Thai Party unnecessary embarrassment.

 

Had Dr Prasit really been concerned with safeguarding the rights of the patients, he should have launched an investigation to find out how and why the hospital was stormed by the red-shirt protesters so that proper measures could be adopted to prevent a repeat of the incident. In which case, certain figures of the red-shirt movement namely Payap Panket, who led the hospital’s raid, should be invited for interrogation.

Red Shirts action plan:

 

1) It wasn't us.

2) It was someone pretending to be us.

3) OK, it was us, but those were not really our people.

4) OK, those were our people, but they did not listen to us.

5) But the yellow shirts blockaded the airport...

6) OK, it was us, but we're sorry and we won't do it again.

7) Something else happens to distract from the original violent act against humanity; start at 1.
