Thai General Shot In The Head During Interview With New York Times - Polidicks

You realize this shit is going to cause an uproar and the red shirts aren't going to have this. [editline]10:02AM[/editline] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxBVz7xexiU&feature=player_embedded[/media] Oh god fucking damn it. :mad:

[QUOTE=Faunts;21922121]So this is a bad thing right? Because he's with the anti-government people?[/QUOTE] The government there is not elected.

He was a rogue Military General who was training the Red Shirts how to build barricades to defend themselves against the Military. I believe that the Thai government said they were going to begin shooting all "terrorists" and this is what happened. He has yet to be pronounced dead. Edit: Here's his more detailed background. [quote]Khattiya, who helped construct the Red Shirt barricades of sharpened bamboo stakes and tires around the protest area, was accused of creating a paramilitary force among the anti-government protesters and had vowed to battle against the army if it should launch a crackdown. In the AP interview, he accused Red Shirt leaders of taking government bribes to accept Abhisit's reconciliation plan to hold elections on Nov. 14. However, the plan was abandoned after the Red Shirts made new demands and refused to leave. "The prime minister and the Red Shirts were on the verge of striking a deal but then I came in. Suddenly, I became an important person," he said. "This time, the people's army will fight the army. There is no need to teach the people how to fight. There are no forms or plan of attack. You let them fight with their own strategies," he said. Khattiya was suspended from the army in January and became a fugitive from justice last month when an arrest warrant was issued against him and two dozen others linked to the Red Shirts for their purported roles in the violence. Yet he has wandered freely through the protest zone, signing autographs just yards (meters) from security forces keeping watch over the protesters. Earlier Thursday, an army spokesman, Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd, said security forces were preparing to impose a lockdown on the protest area where the Red Shirts have barricaded themselves in a posh area of shopping malls, hotels and upscale apartments. Sansern said armored personnel carriers and snipers will surround the area. Power, public transport and mobile phone service in the area was also suspended. Sansern said troops will use rubber bullets first but will not hesitate to use live ammunition in self-defense if attacked. "In addition, another unit of ... sharpshooters will be on the lookout and will shoot terrorists who carry weapons," he said. [/quote] He was essentially the Red Shirts only hope for an armed revolution. Too bad, from what I've read about him online he's a great, charismatic leader. There's still a slim chance he might pull through. He was in stable conditions when he got to the hospital.

Shit's going to go down in Thailand sooner or later.

The only possible way you'd be able to forcibly swap out governments in Thailand is via the army and they and the redshirt leadership have both disowned him.

Yeah, he was like "okay let me- be quiet let me tal- oh fuck it" *blam*

That must have been extremely traumatic for the interviewer.

[QUOTE=JohnWallace;21922042]NSFW [url]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=860c9b9f3b[/url][/QUOTE] I wish I didn't watch that, I feel sick now. And why did the camera man zoom right on his face?

I'd commit suicide too if i was a politician.

[QUOTE=Jzzb;21923242]Yeah, he was like "okay let me- be quiet let me tal- oh fuck it" *blam*[/QUOTE] Heh, yeah. Althought I would have yelled at the top of my lungs something like "EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME SPEAK, JESUS" By the way, when you see things like this its quite easy to recognize how tame the "gore" in movies actually are

Things are going to get a whole hell of a lot worse before they get any better. This was an outright assassination, and performed right in front of a reporter for a major newspaper. The Red Shirts the grounds to make a bona fide claim of murder by their government, and it was witnessed firsthand by the entire world. Though they lost some of their leadership, their numbers are likely to swell substantially as a result of the outrage of previously silent Red Shirt supporters.

It was like a faucet was turned on.

[QUOTE=darius_bielecki;21923483]I wish I didn't watch that, I feel sick now. And why did the camera man zoom right on his face?[/QUOTE] In journalism I believe that's called the "money shot"

[QUOTE=JohnWallace;21922042]NSFW [url]http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=860c9b9f3b[/url][/QUOTE] Holy fuck that's his BRAIN running outta his nose.

Holy shit that must've been scary for the interviewer.

I've seen that video a while ago, but I have a question. How was so much blood pouring out from his nose?

It's like a waterfall D:

[QUOTE=JDK721;21929463]I've seen that video a while ago, but I have a question. How was so much blood pouring out from his nose?[/QUOTE] Because his skull and sinuses were no longer separate.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21929463]I've seen that video a while ago, but I have a question. How was so much blood pouring out from his nose?[/QUOTE] Bullet punctured his nasal cavity and went on to the brain, so the blood from there probably went into that hole.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;21929558]Because his skull and sinuses were no longer separate.[/QUOTE] so if they're not separate a bunch of blood will flow out

This is fucking nuts. I have a real bad feeling about this, guys. I on't know why, but I do.

thread needs to man up

[QUOTE=JDK721;21929582]so if they're not separate a bunch of blood will flow out[/QUOTE] Also a .357 hollow-point round literally turned the consistency of his brain into that of applesauce from concussion and compression damage, as well as splintered bone fragments traveling upwards from the initial impact.
