Bangkok Roiled By Pitched Street Battles

Thailand’s military yesterday finally moved to enforce a state-of-emergency, speaking violent confrontations for much of the day in various parts of the capital that has left at least 1 dead.

Arson & street fights were reported as soldier’s battled bands of red-shirted pro-democracy protestors defying the state of emergency and demanding resignation of the government.

Nearly 100 were injured.

This act is bad.

They should learn to follow their new leader.

They are doing this because they hate their Prime Minister.

They should not do this.
