The Democrat Party has urged police to speedily find the gunman who fired bullets into four ASTV Manager cars at the newspaper's head office in the early hours of Saturday.

Opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said the incident represented a threat to the media, and police had a responsibility to quickly shed light on who was the shooter.

Police are searching for clues to the identity of the gunman.

"the Bangkok police chief has warned the public not to jump to any quick conclusions." Depends sir, how long we have to wait for your conclusion. If the waiting time is anywhere near the "men in black" conclusion we are in for the long haul.

"a hoo-ha piece of news that ASTV created to sell through the media." Ah, yes... with Sondhi suffering a head wound and his chauffeur nearly killed and left in a coma for a long time. You're not Robert Amsterdam, are you?

So far no RPG attacks on offices. That is an improvement on before.

Someone should check the whereabouts of all the red-shirts who are currently out on bail. Or better round them all up because they are the usual suspects.
But with our tomato police I don’t have much hope that this will happen. When we see how some high ranking police officers kowtow to the criminal fugitive how can we expect that they do their work catching enemies of one of dear leader’s biggest enemies? Welcome to Thailand!

The men in black appear to be back! Who pays them? Nobody knows! Why not? Because they are the men in Black! Why don't they catch them? They can't as they are the men in black nobody knows where they come from, and nobody knows where they go after they do what they are paid to do. Is'nt this strange? No this is normal? Why is this normal? Because this is Thailand, amazing Thailand!

"Sondhi was convicted in February last year after pleading guilty to violating the Securities and Exchange Act by falsifying documents to secure a loan of 1.1 billion baht for his media empire in the 1990s."
He is a crook. His falling out with TS is the result of TS refusing to bail out his tv station with state money. Sindhi is a prime example of trying to but success on borrowed money. It is the pot calling the kettle black. One only needs to listen to his mouth for a few minutes to see why is is not successful, and why the PAD is failing. Even the DP has distanced themselves from him because he is such an embarrassment.

#7 apparently you've never fired a gun in your life and have no idea how impossible it would be for even the most expert of gunmen to have "staged" a shooting and fire live rounds into a vehicle and intentionally not hit anyone inside except for "a scratch on his forehead." Unfortunately UDD supporters are educated by Hollywood, soap operas, and REDucation camps.

"Kamronwit Thoopkrachang said police had no idea about what reasons might lie behind the attack". They don't read the yellow propaganda in the police? Pity, it always told us who (everytime the same) is responsible.
