I do not see what good this does. Let the protesters do whatever they want. Threatening them with bullets idiotic.

This King seems like a real loony-tune. I don't like sympathizing with Maoists, but he's making it difficult.

"Pro-democracy activists" who happen to fly red communist flags. Democracy - Mao style? Or perhaps just Stalin style.

Pro-democracy Nepali activists attempt to relay to security personnel that they are protesting peacefully during the curfew in the capital Kathmandu April 8, 2006. Nepal's royalist government imposed a day curfew in Kathmandu and its neighbouring areas on Saturday and some mobile phone services were disrupted, hours before a rally against King Gyanendra's rule.

The protesters have the backing of communist rebels, who are separately fighting against the king's rule and formed a loose alliance with the political parties in December.

Kings rule or China's rule..

It looks like kids are never content. They have to revolt against most everything.

I remember contacting a former king of Nepal, back in the 70s, on my ham radio. He was 9N1MM.

This is the King who was a second son and he shot his older brother, the then king, younger brother, their wives and children so he could be king. He was nuts long before this.

That he could become king after that is amazing.

The protesters have the backing of communist rebels, who are separately fighting against the king's rule and formed a loose alliance with the political parties in December. Gyanendra dismissed the prime minister in February last year, saying he needed full powers to check the growing communist insurgency, which has killed some 13,000 people since 1996.

I agree with the king. Communists are in need of immediate execution. Their influence is a danger to all free people and nations.

If communists began threatening trouble on these shores, I would advocate the same policy. In fact I think this nation may be closer to implementing it than most Dims are aware.
