Does the title of this video shock you? Of course it does. It's shocking and deeply offensive. So imagine a video appears on Youtube entitled "Kill Thaksin!", a man who is loved and respected by MORE Thais than King Bhumibol.
Well, here is that video! It's from a crazy royalist yellow shirt supporter of King Bhumibol, threatening to "kill" Thailand's former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. You'll find it here siameseSexy, and it's still there five days after it first appeared!
Now, you may "revere" the Thai king so you are entitled to criticise Thaksin, just as others are entitled to criticise and mock Bhumibol Adulyadej, even if lese majeste law makes it a criminal offence. But this ignorant buffalo is out of order making death threats. Let's hope all her neighbours agree with her...
Supporters of King Bhumibol have the same rights to free speech as everyone else, but making death threats on Youtube is not free speech. Curious isn't it? Thai royalists go "ape" if you criticise Bhumibol, but then they threaten to kill people and there's no problem.
