So at barricade number two, the police briefly clash with protesters. After putting on a show, they let them through and then take a break.

But the police keep going in an out of the thing.

I then proceeded to the third line of defense that the police had set up and due to this sign, I am thinking that they might be changing the laws on condo ownership!!!

Under manned?

Paid off?

They really do not support the current government?

They know the outcome and figure why take a chance on getting inured?
You probably dont go along with my line of thought on this subject. But since you asked for it I will give it to you again.

Th cops have been ordered NOT to instigate or carry out any violence against the protesters. Just as the PAD protesters have been drilled NOT to instigate or carry out any violence against the cops. Both sides are carrying video cameras and are waiting to capture the other inflicting violence in order to claim the high moral ground on this issue. Both sides are looking for critical public support on this conflict and how it appears in the media could make or break the government.

Its a battle of who can be the nicest.

There was another clash with the police at line three and I was determined to stay out of the thick of things, however it did not happen.

I figure if this man in the wheelchair could make it, then so could I.

He was right on the front lines.

Protesters were saying that Samak was out of Bangkok and that law says that if he misses more than seven days of work, then he has to resign.

They also said that by being hated by some many Thais, he has lost face and will soon resign because of that. They believe that 90% of the country hates Samak.

At one point, rally leaders instructed the protesters to sit down and be calm.

With respect, I don't see any violence there apart from a little bit of pushing and shoving.
I know it could have gone off and got a lot worse at any time and I do appreciate you taking the risk to take the pics for us here. You just don't know how these things are going to turn out on the day. And the day is not over yet.

It could be an interesting weekend.

After all of that, then the police step aside and let about 50 or 60 of the protesters through.........

Were the police carrying guns the ones at the front of the siege? By rights they shouldn't be but in this country I have no idea how advanced they are.

After letting those 50 or 60 through, the police regrouped and formed another line.
