Today there was bloodshed in Bangkok as police tried to move
against and evacuate the die-hard anti-government protesters. It appears that today certain radical goons on
the protesters’ side started the lethal fire with firearms and grenades. One police officer was shot dead and several
were wounded. Predictably, the police
used lethal fire in response, and there were dead and wounded among the
protesters.
.
It is like a re-play of 10 April 2010, when the Red Shirts
were the protesters and from whose ranks deadly fire killed military men trying
to clear them out of protest sites, with the predictable deadly
counter-fire. The hate and violence just
cycles round and round.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) promises a big anti-government rally,
with who knows what consequences? The
day after (Thursday) I am planning to be in the city all day until late meeting
friends. Coming home late might be a
problem if too much shit hits the fan, but I’ll deal with it when the time
comes, as I'm sick of being limited by this civil warfare.

Twitter updates from those
monitoring the action are a good way to stay informed about dangerous parts of the city. Mobile internet is earning its keep.
