The white piece of paper is a print out of the photo of him without the top of his head, and as you would expect there was quite a lot of blood.

Good work with pics.
How did you Feel, when you were out and about amongst this lot?
Thai official lying shocker
I think what got the army commanders to surrender was that they were on a hiding to nothing.Quote:

Well people gotta eat...
This btw is about 4 metres down from where the lad had half his head blown off... the metre long pool of his blood is just by the lamppost on the left.

I'm sort of stunned at how the army appears to have been caught with their pants down.
Exellent pics. Thank you
looks like a few "souveniers" have been taken from those vehicles
Excellent pics.
I still have a niggling suspicion they are not really trying.Or they have had one hand tied behind their back.:confused:Quote:

Better than the newspapers.
Great pics, I'm a bit annoyed I didn't go over there myself but as Nawty keeps telling me I'm chicken.
Any sign of the security forces today when you were there?
On the way back out:

About 2 km away on the small bridge going over Th. Krung Kasem and the canal, 3/4 of the road was blocked by big fuk-off barricades and barb wire, with two troop trucks ransacked on Th. Luk Luang, with just a few red shirts hanging around.
Found that a bit surprising.

Great stuff, thank you. The world should see what "rubber" bullets do in Thailand.....
Maybe you can send some to CNN's Ireport About iReport
They have a wide and varied audience.
E. G.
I didn't see any security forces down there.
Just the general vibe I picked up was that there's no way these people are just going to pack up and go home. They're in it for the fight, and there's plenty of them there.
I can only see the government stepping down. They could of massacred them last night but withdrew. I just can't see the Red Shirts leaving without what they consider a fair deal. And I can't see the army willing to go back in shooting. Cause they'd have to do a fuckload of it. And I can't see them going in to massacre them, which is what it would have to be.
Thanks, but I really couldn't be bothered. If anyone wants to send them anywhere feel free to do.Quote:
