Thailand protests spark troop deployment - 07 Oct 08

Weeks of political tension have erupted in Thailand. A car bomb blast near parliament killed one man and a woman was crushed to death in the riots that followed.

Troops have been deployed on the steets of Bangkok trying to prevent more trouble.

Police officers pointed the gun right to the people, have you ever seen that? Two civilians died by M26 hand grenades and another one died by remote control bomb. The government's not yet shown their responsibility on this. In contrast, they only use NBT T.V.station as their mouthpiece to distribute their propaganda. The situation's going to be worse; even the queen of Thailand give money for hospitality and took care of injured people, the police doesn't stop shooting. Stop killing now, please.

it is just a matter of time before the end of Thailand and the end of its current government; and the rise of a new form of government. A country with no respect for the small people, the minority class. Those sob what what is coming to them. I hope for the destruction of Thailand and the end/genocide of their complete race. HHH
