Thread: The reds build a fortress

Scenes at Sala Daeng and Lumpini Park entrance (facing Silom). Barracading themselves and battoning down the hatches:

I think something will happen tonight

Gonna make it harder for them to flee the scene when the bullets start flying.

They have had the cabinet meeting
numbers have dwindled
Are they going to wait for more reds to come?

Just got back from there, few reds compared to Sunday.

Talk of taking ambulances and military vehicles tonight

Sounds like the reds expect a bloody crackdown.

Helicopters been flying about all day.

More dead bodies in the morning?

Someone said they were building rice storage houses. It could be a long wait.

With thousands of redshirts pulling back from the warzone and thousands more pouring in from the rural districts one wonders if they might reappear after the battle? Just conjecture of course, but stranger things have happened in the course of this conflict. It seems to be more of a psychological battle of tactics this time, rather than just a show of outright force. Anything can happen. Will be interesting to see how tomorrow shapes up.

This is news? Why waste my time to open this.

I see the bamboo spikes are still mostly pretty blunt now. It only takes a couple of strikes with a sharp knife to turn them into deadly barricades. Propelled forward in a clash of bodies, I wouldn't want to be pushing into them.
Disassembled they would make fine close quarter weapons also.

Can't imagine it would hurt a tank.

No, thats what the cocktails are for.

For the love of God I hope not another soul dies on the streets of Bkk.

^Abahisit disagrees with you.

Abhisit offered them an election in 9 months which they rejected. This week the govt offered them an election in 6 months which they rejected. He is offering ways out of this problem, they aren't they are just looking for confrontation.

What are they going to tell the relatives of the people that they got killed when they eventually do agree to elections in a few months time?

'Their sacrifice was worth is so we could all vote xx months sooner"?
