World: State of emergency No. 2: Red Shirts too much for Thailand

  • Dudes apparently stormed the Parliament today. The blood-spilling, angry-at-government protesters have held parts of the capital at their whim for days, and now Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva’s government has called a state of emergency. Why? To give the military more control. (However, they can’t harm civilians.) Have fun with that, guys. source

World: Thailand’s got a big mess of red blood on their hands

  • If this government is willing to step over our blood it means they really don’t care about us.
  • Red Shirt protester Amphan Nawangern • Regarding the liters of blood dumped on the ground in front of the Thai capital today. The blood was gathered with medical assistance then dumped out en masse. As you might guess, critics of the movement have been skeptical of the bloodletting, calling it a publicity stunt. But in a way it’s kind of hilarious. Just think if something like this happened in the U.S. It’d be the weirdest thing ever. It’s still kind of the weirdest thing ever. source
