The Red Shirts Are At It Again

Bangkok, Thailand. May 19, 2012. I walked out of my soi on my way to a TPO concert at Mahidol Salaya campus, to run smack into a procession of Red Shirt demonstrators on their way to a rally at Ratchaprasong, to commemorate the two-year anniversary of their burning of Bangkok. This time, however, with their hero, Thaksin, firmly in control of the Thai government from his lair in Dubai, the 45,000 Red Shirts gathered peacefully and went home after their rally.
