In a completely paternalistic statement the Thai army general who orchestrated last weeks 13th coup. Wants the people of Thailand to understand that they have no right to criticize the actions taken by the military and they should just shut the hell up and take it. After all everyone loves a military coup especially those being oppressed by the undemocratic actions of their new military overlords.
The only thing missing from this magnificent picture are the cheap mirrored military dictatorship sunglasses.
Bolstered by a royal endorsement Monday to run the country after last week's coup, Thailand's junta leader warned citizens not to cause trouble, not to criticize, not to protest — or else face a return to the "old days" of street violence.

Thai coup leader: Don't protest, it's no use
BANGKOK (AP)Bolstered by a royal endorsement Monday to run the country after last week's coup, Thailand's junta leader warned citizens not to cause trouble, not to criticize, not to protest — or else face a return to the "old days" of street violence.
Dressed in a crisp white military uniform, Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha said he had seized power to restore order after seven months of violent confrontations and political turmoil between the now-ousted government and demonstrators who had called repeatedly for the army to intervene.
"I'm not here to argue with anyone. I want to bring everything out in the open and fix it," Prayuth said in his first news conference since taking power last Thursday.
"Everyone must help me," he said, before adding: "Do not criticize, do not create new problems. It's no use."
