Yellow shirts, royal banner not a licence to killDespite the ongoing political frenzy, one thing must be clear. A yellow shirt and the royalist banner are not a licence to kill. Last Wednesday's incident occurred after a group of yellow-clad royalists gathered to protest against Mr Thanathorn near a hotel where he was staying in Muang district. Holding portraits of His Majesty the King and carrying yellow flags with the monarch's insignia, the royalist mob heckled the driver. A government MP recently asked why Mr Thanathorn didn't avoid the route if he knew the protesters were there.
