LizardKing Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Certainly you are not suggesting that *any* red shirt of any faction has the slightest interest in free and fair elections? There has never been any evidence of that before, so why would they start now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardy641 Posted May 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Agree the question was a rhetoric one. Still I am curious about the comments of the red shirt sympathizers. Probably they will just call it government propaganda....until they the first will be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I can't remember that a PM has been threaten by the opposition or some groups close to the opposition in way it happens now to Abhisit.

LizardKing Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 And even then, it will have been "done by the government to make the reds look bad." That's excuse #3, if I recall the list correctly 55555555555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianBoy Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 bullshit. I dont know where your "west" is' date=' but in my "west" we dont kill politicians.... BB[/quote'] Pim Fortuyn's assasination disproves that statement yeah, I missed that one, but his killing was more religiously motivated than politically motivated.... nuances BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallenda Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 yeah, I missed that one, but his killing was more religiously motivated than politically motivated.... nuances BB Well, killed by people who see those 2 as one and the same. If the original point could have been better expressed it would have been correct: in the first world (I hate to say "the west" cuz a lot of the east belongs to this group, e.g. Japan, Taiwan, S Korea), we don't have the leader of our government under imminent threat of assassination. Even in those cases where our leaders were killed (JFK) there wasn't an atmosphere in the country prior to the fact that he'd possibly be killed any day. Quite contrary, it was a shock to the country, completely unexpected by the general public. I don't think anyone would be surprised if Abhisit is killed.

Mekong Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Didn't a 737 mysteriously burn a minute before Thaksin was to board it? No, it was a Centre Fuel Tank problem same as TWA-800 Thai Air 737-400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 umm would takky's death, capture or return to LOS perhaps reduce or increase the chance of PM killed? in any case I don't think PM is as stupid as say seah daeng to be (easily) killed - at least he got some kind of serious protection & the chance to resign/depart of getting to heated inside...
