Yes, it was...as you've no idea exactly where I lived and how close I was (I excluded that information for obvious reasons) then it is fair to say you've absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.

I've since moved.

I lived on Soi 1. At the end, right by the red shirts. I could see them constantly. Hence I made such posts as this...

A lot of reds here now, crowd has swollen enormously.

Of note, 2 people were shot. One taken on a motorbike, one a young teenage boy, shot in the hand. Shooting is ongoing, as are some heavy distant explosions. Looks as though the reds are gearing up for something, there was so many of them. They seemed agitated.

Saw some red shirts with what looked like molotov cocktails, or some round thing with a fuse, it was a homemade device regardless. They didn't want me to see them. They had quite a few on them.

Anyway, shooting and booms is back on here.
