StanG: I didn't ask you about

StanG:

I didn't ask you about evidence that the students were in a "tiny minority". I asked you for evidence for your statement that "millions of Thais ... supported the establishment and even joined Krating Daeng and Nawapol" in the '70s. Apparently you have no evidence for your statement.

But now I'll ask you what evidence you have that the students were a "tiny minority" -- even though you say you need no evidence for that assertion. A "tiny minority" of Thais wanted to protect democracy and freedom of expression? Do you really believe that?

Also, what's your evidence that all the students "took the arms and joined Maoist insurgency"? Certainly some did, but if you think all the students at Thammasat were communists and that their protests were only about promoting communism, you really need to go back to the history books.

Even if they were all communists, do you really think that justified government officials encouraging people to "kill them"?
