Thai democracy was not stable, that's why martial law is still in place
Some people are typical double-standard tender. They now react when people have run up in trouble because of violating the martial law, a law which is there because some factions argued with weapons - and still do.
Thailand is therefor unstable and not a ship-shape democracy, so you have to measure and understand it as it is.
But over and over again the same people argue as if there is a ship-shape democratic Thailand already there behind the martial law and coup.
That is a fantasy carrying all discussions and arguing nowhere and only wasting energy and time.
It is high time to start arguing on the basis of current exiting realities, not on the basis of something which is not there and never was there.
Then the defended victims of the martial law are all alive, contrary to many bystanders and participants of last year’s rallies.
People who now rise their voice publicly are concerned only about minor material damages, like a police sign being torn down instead of the murdering going on. So, if you want to be tender, empathic and solidly united, be it then all the time to stay credible or you’ll risk being a joke.
