They cannot cage my conscience. I hope Gen. Prayuth will be the last dictator in Thailand. @PravitR surrendering to military this morning.

You are right. Tweet by Jonathan Head (the pro Thaksin BBC journalist):

 

Jonathan Head â€@pakhead 34m

There are people identifying themselves as red shirt leaders organising Amarin protest. It looks well planned. #ThaiCoup

 

So if red shirts leaders are there, you can bet on it they want to get people killed. So I tweeted to him (not that he will take note (ermmm I am wrong, he retweeted me LOL))

 

@pakhead So watch the rooftops. If organised they might want to start shooting people claiming army did it. Like in 2010

 

And for the other news:

It appears that an army supporter (same woman who went to Major Ratchayothin yesterday) turned up at Rajprasong, causing a bit of commotion.

It's a female yellow shirt who was blowing a whistle and then sought refuge behind soldiers.

The Anti-Coup protests this afternoon are taking place near the Ratchaprasong intersection. Elsewhere in #Bangkok everything is “normalâ€.

Just saw young Thai soldier maintaining his position but sobbing as protesters berate him. Personal loyalties differ from army orders?

@KristieKenney The removal of basic human rights is unaccepable. Thailand needs to be told

 

JohnP â€@JohnP1752 3h

Stories of some of those detained having their facebook and other social media cleaned up. An exercise during their thinking time?

 

Ryn C. â€@Ryn_writes 4m

I do understand those support Army but coming alone to protest against another group is somewhat suicidal but who am I to judge, right?

Hi,

 

"Just saw young Thai soldier maintaining his position but sobbing as protesters berate him. Personal loyalties differ from army orders?"

 

Pretty sad to take it out on these kids. It was not their decision. Hell, they likely don't even want to be there.

 

Sanuk!

@chomsowhat @johnwinyu @abhisit_en Thailand is not ready for democracy; most will fall for tricks of vote buying such as the rice scheme.

I do not believe the "unco-ordinated" part of this tweet though:

Geez there sure seem to be a ton of journalists at these protests. Almost more than soldiers and protestors combined. Everywhere cameras!
