khunsanuk Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hi, "to make matters worse Red Shirts are blocking / diverting traffic into the area " That is just fucking nasty!!!! So, now they are no longer content with using their own as potential cannon fodder, but need to use innocent bystanders as well. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acockasian Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 This is one of the absolute nightmare scenarios for the government. Both OH and Cent got jumped on a few weeks back for bringing this up. There is a real concern about this happening as the stakes continue to go up and among all the different contingencies planned for this is potentially among the worst as far as publicity.

Perfectly normal behavior for peaceful protesters fighting for more equality for themselves. [/sarcasm] Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Ratchaprarop declared 'live-fire zone' 2:08pm The army this afternoon declared Bangkok's Ratchaprarop area a "live-fire zone" and prohibited the general public from entering the area due to the intensifying clashes between anti-government protesters and soldiers. Troops have erected signs warning people and journalists not to enter Ratchaprarop. Earlier, demonstrators blockaded Din Daeng intersection, forcing cars and other vehicles to turn to Ratchaprarop road and into the face of a military barricade. Reports said soldiers were deployed to areas around Ratchaprarop to monitor the situation closely. Rink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
