Hej
Läste i Bangkok Post http://www.bangkokpo...ed-shirt-attack att f.d PM Abhisit attackerades av röda vid sitt besök i Chiang Mai, själv verkade han vara överraskad av detta, han verkar ha dålig insikt om hur han ses på i stora delar av Thailand, enligt mig riskerar han sitt liv i princip hela norra och nordöstra Thailand, här har man ju långt ifrån glömt hans roll i dom 94 döda och 2000 skadade i Bangkok och hans samarbete med kuppmakarna.
På ett annat forum uttryckte sig en skribent så här "Is this guy really as stupid as he looks? He authorizes a shoot to kill policy in Bangkok telling Suthep to get on with the job in hand. When he then goes to the Red shirt heartlands in Chiang Mai?" och man undrar ju faktiskt lite hur han tänker i ett sånt här läge, även om man inte kan och ska försvara våld.
Abhisit slams red-shirt attack

Opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Saturday slammed the red shirts’ violent attack on him in Chiang Mai, saying the incident was obviously intended to hurt him.
The incident occurred when Mr Abhisit and his team were visiting a centre on land reform for people in San Sai district on Friday to give out community land title deeds.
About 100 supporters of the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) were on the scene and using loudspeakers to deliver verbal attacks against the former premier. Some tried to cordon off the area to prevent him from leaving and threw rocks at the car he came in, damaging it.
Mr Abhisit said the government had declared its desire for national reconciliation, but fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister, Prime Minister Yingluck, had done nothing to dissuade UDD supporters from improper behaviour.
He said Friday’s attack was not normal political expression, but an act intended to harm him.
The red shirts tried to block the road, but the Democrat Party leader's convoy managed to escape in time. However, several vehicles carrying his staff were battered.
The red shirts' action clearly violated the law and police officers must take action against them, said Mr Abhisit.
Asked if he would ask the Election Commission (EC) to look into the incident, he said he did not want to do so yet.
However, he said that since the EC's duty was to ensure fair competition among political parties, it should prevent a repeat of incidents in which members of a political party are prevented from doing work for the people.
"I want to ask the government, was that incident part of the reconciliation? [The red shirts] have obvious intentions to hurt me," Mr Abhisit said.
"I went there to see [land reform through] land banks and to help people. I did not mean to make any trouble. The prime minister has, however, never sent any signal to her followers to stop using violence [against me and the Democrats]."
