Day 4 Reds March on Bangkok

Red shirts donate blood to throw at government

Day 4. Monday March 15, 2010. As promised, the red shirts traipsed out to the army base to deliver their ultimatum to PM Thaksin for him to resign and call elections. He said “no,” so they traipsed back to their rally site. Their next move, for Tuesday, is to have members of the red shirt mob donate their blood, which will then be thrown at Government House. This bizarre move turns the protest into farce, albeit a dangerous one. In the meantime, the Thai stock market continues it’s almost daily rise, and traffic in Bangkok has returned to normal except for the limited area around the rally site.
