Police seek gunman who shot up ASTV cars

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.

    Altthainews - the really sad part of the reds spamming the like/dislike buttons is that they think they're fooling people. Only fooling themselves that others are as shallow as they are.

    Funny how all the familiar red shirt posters seem to think that this is fine and intimidation of the media is acceptable.
    Sad.

    I also like the logic of the UDD-supporters rigging the comments and closing people's accounts - as if people are going to change their minds and embrace Thaksin because "Andriod" gets 68 likes instead of his usual 0, and the lack of voices stating the painfully obvious.

    The PAD English website used to have an interview with Sonthi from shortly after the attack (dont know if its still there) in which he stated that the attack on him had nothing to do with the UDD, it was another group trying to frame them. He also said in the same interview that this same group was the one that mounted the attack on Abhisit's car in another effort to frame the reds.

    It couldn't have been the army. They don't use real bullets.

    Don't expect the illustrious Royal Thai Police Force to do anything.

    How many cases like this have police solved? If they really care for reputation, they should solve case like this as soon possible otherwise they have lose their integrity once more. We still have unsolved case of Sondhi!

    "While walking to the restroom at about 3.25am," Hmmm, I am in the security business for 25 years and honestly, this is a classic. Besides, guards are often part of the problem, turning a blind eye is a basic one. Just my thought though.
