“Protesters” or Arsonists?
“Protesters” or Rioters?
I think the media has lost its collective minds.

Interestingly it looks like the images of the bleeding and wounded soldiers I saw this morning are getting harder and harder to find.

Taksin needs to be killed . Wherever he is , they need to get him . Then there will be peace. Thai should contract with Mossad if necessary . As long has he is hovering around out there funneling money this will continue .
I wonder what has happened to Phra Phrom Shrine at Rajaprasong intersection ? Anyone?
It deeply offended me that the pinhead reds would set up there , of all places .
I hope they put as many as possible to work at hard labor for at least 5 yrs for this enormous offense against Thailand

The protesters are supporters of Thaksin and mainly from rural areas outside Bangkok. They believe the present anti-Thaksin government came to power essentially by a coup. They are demanding immediate elections.

If the TEA partiers did this I can guarantee the media won’t be calling them “protesters”.

The protesters may have a righteous cause, but when they start burning down irreplaceable landmarks, I begin to lose interest in the reasons for it.
It’s an irreversible act.
If I ran the government, I’d give them about two seconds to get out of Dodge, then open up on them.
“We’ll talk about this when order is restored, but you’re not going to be allowed to burn the fricken capital to the ground.”

So, if the people rose up against Hitler or Mao or Castro you would kill them all to preserve the status quo?
You would slaughter the American revolutionaries?
