Flashermac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I've gone to Din Daeng for years to renew my WP. In the '80s it was out in the middle of nowhere. The Labour Dept was a quiet green area with two-storey buildings, but that government housing was very prominent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hi, Would they really be stupid enough to explode a gas tank, likely killing dozens of people? I mean, that would be the same as asking the government to send in the army with orders to stop this whatever the cost. There would be massive bloodshed, but then again, maybe that is what Thaksin wants Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Bangkok Post reports on those peaceful democracy loving Red Shirts we have all learnt to love and respect: << Soldiers shooting in the air and firing tear gas have cleared the first small group of Red Shirts from an area near the Victory Monument. Dozens of people were reported injured. Troops began moving in to disperse Red Shirt protesters at about 4am Monday morning in their attempt to open traffic at Din Daeng intersection, which has been blocked since Sunday. Army spokesman Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd said that troops ordered the protesters to leave, but they were answered with tear gas, gunfire and petrol bombs hurled from the expressway. He added that a protester rammed a hijacked bus into the troops, injuring several. In retaliation, the troops fired tear gas and discharged their rifles into the air as they moved in to break up the protesters. The troops managed to disperse the rowdy crowd and opened part of the road to traffic half an hour later. About 10 soldiers and 49 protesters were injured, mostly from tear gas inhalation. Despite the clash at Din Daeng, the Red Shirt protesters still blocked traffic at several main road intersections, including Si Ayuddhaya and Ratchadamnoen. Most protesters were in front of the Government House and the surrounding areas, as their leaders urged on the protesters to continue to resist the government. The situation is still very tense with the likelihood of more violence, or in the worst case scenario - a riot, if government forces decide to break up the protest at Government House. The Army spokesman also said some of the Red Shirt core leaders were being held in custody at an undisclosed location. He did not give details. Government spokesman Panitarn Wattanayakorn insisted that the government would â??do everything within the limits of the law to restore order and peace in the countryâ?Â. He urged the public to understand and trust in the government and to report to authorities any suspicious movements. Meanwhile, authorities said that three M79 grenades were fired into the Constitutional Court building at 1am on Monday, causing some damage but no casualties. Police said only one grenade exploded. It is unknown who the assailants were. In Pattaya, one improvised explosive device went off, apparently detonated by a mobile phone, causing damage to a water pipe. Three other IEDs were also found at the scene. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva went on the nationwide television with the commanders of the three armed forces at midnight on Sunday. He repeated the need for the government to take tougher actions against the Red Shirt protesters, charging them with blatantly breaking the law under the guise of struggling for democracy. Supreme Commander Gen Songkitti Jakkabat has been appointed director in Bangkok to enforce the state of emergency law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I thought King Power were Thaksin's buddies. He had the airport designed to hold their shopping mall. Arson is the Redniks' new thing. A co-op torched in Sua Pa and a police box set on fire at Nang Lerng. How long before the ordinary citizens of Bangkok take action against these anarchists?
