    When did the name change from Victory Monument to this new "Democracy" Monument?

    True.... That guy behind me who started to piss on the APC... nobody else was with him, nobody was watching him, it wasn't for any audience, I don't even think anybody else saw it... he just climbed up on top... pissed on top of it... then climbed off with no one none the wiser.

    I think its always been called Democracy Monument. Victory Monument is in a different part of the city.

    No proof, speculation.

    I speculate that they're correct, in that the body was thrown forward, indicating a blow from behind.
    It's been proven that shooting of protester by ones own side is good in the propaganda stakes. It's done to discredit the opposition.
    It's reputed that a lot of the deaths on "Bloody Sunday" were attributed to the IRA using stolen army weapons, to discredit the British Army. I've no reason not to believe that.

    Sniper from above and behind! No a propelled grenade would have blown his head off.

    You csi experts are amazing...you should all get jobs and solve all the unsolved mysteries of thailand and the world.

    He was not even in frame when hit, he fell into frame, so how do you lot come to the conclusion that it was a sniper, from above and behind wearing blue jeans and no underpants ??


    Is that his brain on the pavement ?? Lot of blood thats for sure, least he didn't feel a thing.
    I like poisoning my neighbours dogs till they die cos I'm a cnut

    The skull fragment is dirty, it needs a good once over with a toothbrush and some diluted bleach. Who's was it?

    Well, I can only say what I heard a number of Thai people saying. They were not happy that the KSR lot were treating the places where people were killed as some sort of tourist attraction. That is a fact, and the fact that you are to dumb to know what people are saying around you is your problem.

    Channel 5 just aired a video of the carnage from the army side. It appears that someone threw a grenade into the line of advancing soldiers.

    Shame you have to bring your personal issues into a thread like this.

    Also a pity that you're too dumb to believe Thai lies, based on xenophobic Napoleon syndrome.

    OP, good pics. Thanks for sharing. SET (Thai Stock Market) is down 5%. Looks like investors are voting with their feet so to speak...

    Some advice on Thailand for you poodles, which you obviously need.

    Thai people need to lie, and lie, and lie, and lie, especially about all things foreign. The root cause being their feelings of inferiority, the cultural conditioning they've been unfortunate enough to have been born into, and the hilarious need for face above truth.

    The Nation

    BANGKOK: -- This is like a Children's Day activity rather than a war zone, a red-shirt protester said jokingly as she strolled through a column of armoured personnel carriers and other military vehicles abandoned by soldiers the night before.
    Odd to see how the Thais treat the area that's splattered with their compatriots blood.
