[release][B]Protesters storm parliament[/B] Red shirt protesters have stormed parliament, forcing lawmakers to abandon their session and cabinet members to flee the compound over the back fence. About 2,000 United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) members led by Arisman Pongruangrong yesterday sealed off parliament about 11am. Eighty broke into the compound about noon to press Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve the lower house. Some pursued Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban. About 40 police guarding parliament were unable to resist the invasion. The UDD decided to move demonstrators to parliament after hearing the government wanted to shut down the red shirts' People Channel satellite television station. The channel supports the red shirts and ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Hearing the red shirts were on their way, the prime minister left before the raid and returned to the 11th Infantry Regiment in Bang Khen. Officials allowed some demonstrators to enter parliament to look for Mr Suthep. Puea Thai Party MPs Apiwan Wiriyachai and Sunai Julapongsatorn helped four of them find the deputy prime minister. They approached the canteen for MPs on the second floor but Democrat MPs refused to allow them to enter. They said senior Democrats were inside including Democrat chief adviser Chuan Leekpai. In fact, Mr Suthep, PM's Office Minister Sathit Wongnongtoey and some Democrats members were inside. After the red shirts left the canteen, Mr Suthep, Mr Sathit and some other cabinet members fled downstairs to the back fence where they climbed ladders out of the parliament compound and into the adjacent Vimanmek Mansion. From there, they boarded an army helicopter for the infantry regiment to join the prime minister. Worried about the safety of MPs, House Speaker Chai Chidchob suspended today's meeting. Democrats are upset about the raid. Party deputy spokesman Buranat Samutharak accused Puea Thai MPs of conspiring with the red shirt protesters to help them invade parliament, and instigate violence. He said the incident proved the government was right to deploy police and soldiers at parliament recently. Thepthai Senpong, spokesman for the prime minister, said the raid was a shameful day for Thai politics. It posed a threat to MPs and also amounted to an invasion of royal property, as parliament was a royal compound. Bangkok police chief Santan Chayanont and his deputy Amnuay Nimmano said police would take legal action against red shirt protesters who invaded parliament. Protesters including Mr Arisman will be charged with trespassing in parliament and with assaulting Charotorn Kimsor, a military policeman assigned to Mr Suthep's security detail. Red shirts took Pvt Charotorn's weapons when they spotted him in the parliament car park. They wrestled him to the ground as they overpowered him.

[release] He was speaking from the rally stage around 8.00 am following a first night camping out under the state of emergency. "The soldiers are armed but the people will fight with their bare hands - we will not back down before victory," he said. He said the[URL="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/search/adsearch.php?keyword=+red+shirts+"] red shirts [/URL]will no longer negotiate with the government. He also warned the riot force that the crackdown in Bangkok would trigger a surge of angry[URL="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/search/adsearch.php?keyword=+red+shirts+"] red shirts [/URL]from upcountry. Red-shirt leader Nisit Sinthuprai said some 20,000[URL="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/search/adsearch.php?keyword=+red+shirts+"] red shirts [/URL]remained at Rajprasong in defiance of the emergency rule. A number of[URL="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/search/adsearch.php?keyword=+red+shirts+"] red shirts [/URL]from the provinces were spotted heading for Bangkok on Wednesday's night after the emergency rule came into effect and despite the ban for fresh protesters to join the rallies.[/release] Shit is about to go down.
It has been going on since March! I wish those Red Shirts would give a rest already. They are doing more harm to their country's economy with their non stop rabble
I should get my rifle ready. Time to blow some red shirted inbred imbeciles up. Oh, here's a fact: Almost 100% of the red-shirt are either from the rural Taksin brainwashed communities or they're incredibly stupid and ignorant. Another fun-fact: They pay 2000 Thai Baht to everyone who stays throughout the whole protest. That's 61USD, but it's way higher than working your ass off in a rice field. And the last fun-fact: When you talk to a red-shirt. They'll do anything to protect their beloved Taksin. But they never in an conversational debate (Current Gov. vs Taksin). They just shut up and walk away.

We don't kill someone if we don't like him, we make sure they aren't elected again and we protest. People don't like the government but at least they don't murder dozens of us at rallies
I'm sorry for the bump, but here's footage by the Reuters cameraman who died. Jesus fuck this is insane - I can't believe he was standing still while the soldiers were running for fuck from grenades. [url]http://www.reuters.com/article/video/idUSTRE63B25A20100412?videoId=71024142[/url]

Reuters employees are good at getting killed.
[QUOTE=BloodYScar;21328000]yeah man, lets stop a revolution to respect the economy[/QUOTE] It's not a revolution, it's a back-and-forth tit-for-tat. We have an exact mirror.
At the rate this is going, they're going to exceed what the yellow shirts did when they threw Thaksin out of power.
If this escalates, they're going to have to call in the Thai fighters.
