Thai deputy PM: Protesters died because they ran into bullets

Here's a quote by deputy prime minister Suthep Thaugsuban from a few days ago:.......

"We had no intentions to kill our people, we have never ordered the police and the army to use force during the dispersal of the red shirt protest but those [who got] killed ran into the bullets".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suthep has always been a gaffe-tastic politician, who regularly puts his foot in mouth. But this is a new low even for him. Is he really suggesting that these 90 killed and thousands of injured people were just unlucky to ran into the bullets? Is he suggesting the Japanese cameraman and the Italian journalist were victims of their own fault because they ran into the crossfire? Are the nurses and medical workers killed because they just couldn’t wait to treat the wounded until the shooting is over? Were those six killed at Wat Pathum Wanaram accidentally shot because they ran for cover from the soldiers on the elevated Skytrain tracks shooting at them? How far can anyone be further from reality?

I could go on forever with this rant, but this shows that Suthep, the DSI and all other authorties are dishonest and not caring about the truth, since it means to take responsibility. All the talks about fear that a hasted investigation might cause unrest is just an excuse not to face the problems at hand and what they seem to realized the least is that the more this drags on, the more attempts to put a blanket over what happened, the wound will not heal and this will eventually lead to more unrest!

Interesting claim.

Nothing new. As this is the way it's been for decades...
