Trouble-makers warning of violence
Re: Red shirts warn Prayut to avoid repeat of 1992 ‘Black May’
There are certainly similarities between the current situation and the lead-up to those terrible events of 1992. However, I don’t see Prayut Chan-o-cha caving in the same way Suchinda did and one must remember that there was a very powerful ‘mediator’ at that time.

Red shirts threatening violence and death again, nothing new, they are a terrorist group at best and use violence as their tool of choice. The sooner these groups (reds and yellows) are removed the better. They are there purely to cause trouble, they are not there for the betterment of Thailand at all.

Pulling the stunts again.
If it happens, only the innocent naive citizens will get hurt. These instigators will be gone missing somewhere safely. Their secret mission always in the name of “democracy” has been since the group established.

I tend to agree that Thailand is looking at a similar situation to 1992. The question that I have been pondering is whether it would be better to have a quick, sharp event like 1992 or a slow, stifling, wet blanket thrown over the country? The early nineties saw horrible violence played out on the street, but relatively speaking, it was over and done with quite quickly. On the other hand, when one peers over the border to Burma, you can see the effects of the stultification still prevalent 50-plus years later.
Which would be worse?
Hmm. Any takers?

Violence will only perpetuate more violence and in this instance the military are likely to be the victors...and of course, will give the junta more reasons to continue. I don’t have an answer but the only way to go is for the people to show their disapproval of the junta by peaceful means. But as I said on a similar thread, that won’t happen.

And before we get into this “most Thais want this - most Thais want that” debate, in my opinion most Thais just want to provide for their families and give their children a better life than what they had when they grew up. ThaiVisa members get more worked up on these political issues in a day than the average Thai does in a lifetime, unless it’s impacting their ability to feed, clothe and educate their children.
