The Will to Remember: Survivors Recount 1976 Thammasat Massacre 40 Years Later
Who could ever forget the sheer barbarism committed by the Thai military? It strikes to the heart of civilized people.
Pretty horrific
Is the man holding the pistol with the cigarette in his mouth, Prayuth?
No. He's a Police General (Lieutenant Colonel at the time), hence the police uniform. His name is Salang Boonak. It's a very famous photo. This photo, and the other hok tulaa photos, are regularly posted on TD, normally on the anniversary. Not entirely sure what prompted yet another thread on this subject.
Anybody remember that cvnt Samak, one of the main instigators of the massacre, claiming that there was only one death?
BTW Prayuth was 21 at the time of the Thammasat massacre.

The Above Post May Contain Strong Language, Flashing Lights, or Violent Scenes.
Was there some extra crime someone actually pinned on the protesters who were degraded so vilely, even after they died ?
Lese Majeste ?
Couldn't agree more.. excellent post.Originally Posted by DrB0b
Let's not forget (I certainly can't) E Ape-sut and E Suthep who were responsible for authorising the use of live fire against protesters.
Execution style (head shots) on innocent civilians... disgraceful indeed.

Ignorant farm boys, brutalized during their military training, then given a rifle, strict orders and a dose of bullshit about how bad protesters are. Works every time, no matter which country you're in.
^ There is some (perhaps a lot) of truth to that.
Tibet,Khmer Rouge,Sharpeville,Bloody Sunday, Kent State the planet of the apes, often ignored mass murders of Arabs in France which defines the current conflicts.
When French police turned on Algerian protesters ? and why it matters after Paris attacks | The Independent
In 1961 Maurice Papon, a Nazi collaborator who had willingly played a key role in the deportation of more than 1,600 Jewish French citizens to concentration camps during the Second World War, was head of the Parisian police forces and imposed a curfew on all French-Algerians. Denouncing this as racist, the FLN called on its supporters to hold a peaceful protest. A quarter of French Algerians participated, with the support of many French citizens of European descent.
Acting with Papon’s blessing, and his explicit promise that they would enjoy impunity, police responded with an orgy of violence. Many removed their badges, to make them less identifiable. Anyone with olive skin became a target; not only French-Algerians but many people of Tunisian, Moroccan, Spanish and Italian origin were also beaten and murdered.
Of course Ageria itself was full of outrages until Iraq passed previous levels of internal violence after its "Liberation'
^ I wasn't highlighting the event to imply it doesn't happen elsewhere... merely because it's a Thai forum and it has been 40 years since the massacre...
It is salutary to note that many of those who were identified as concentration camp commanders in Nazi Germany and many of the Pol Pot ruling cadre were not punished for their crimes or if they were it was merely notional.
The human condition is mired in the sewage of its evolution and can never rise above tha barbarian, not least because stupidity is such an imperative in its behaviour.
In relation to the Thai, they are no different except perhaps more stupid than the average.
Yet those who commited those crimes in Thailand are still in power. Not so stupid.Originally Posted by Seekingasylum
