Patient dies after reds block road

A patient suffering from a heart attack died as the ambulance he was in was delayed by traffic congestion at a red shirt rally against a yellow shirt-sponsored seminar in Ubon Ratchathani on Sunday, reports said.

About 300 supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) gathered in front of Sunee Grand Hotel in Muang district which was hosting a political seminar held by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD). The event was held to criticise the administration of the Pheu Thai-led government.   

The group led by Chamroonsak Chantaramai used loud speakers to disrupt the seminar and deliver verbal attacks on PAD co-leaders including Maj-Gen Chamlong Srimuang. They also criticised the hotel management for allowing the yellow shirts to organise the event, which they said was an insult to the red shirts in the province.

    Why didn't the police arrest the protesters instead of allowing this mockery of justice to continue? Very sad. The police need to be reformed.

    Intolerant selfish oafs. Chalerms police failed again to control reds.

    Thida - I will bet tomorrow you will blame the death on the yellows for holding a meeting.

    The one positive thing is that each day that passes is a day closer to the time when the red thugs will be ousted.

    Will the patient's family receive compensation of 7 millions Bahts from the Red/UDD ?

    Red trash tactics, despicable and unfit for a civilized society. The Khmer Rouge situation is coming to Thailand very fast. Lets pray for another coup to stop these lunatics!

    Disgusting, Wake up Thailand. If the dead person was my family I'd personally shoot the lot of the UDD.

    Why do you persist also with this useless incompetent police force who have no training or knowledge of the law?
