Bankok declared a 'LIVE FIRE ZONE'


Yikes. The populace is displeased... The theft of their elephants no doubt played a role in the unrest

By the way, I should have put this in POLITICS if a moderator would be so kind as to move it. Sorry about that.

Apparently, the situation just continues to spiral out of control:

Thai soldiers stormed barricades and exchanged gunfire with protesters in central Bangkok in an apparent final push against anti-government "red shirts" after the movement's leaders gave up their weeks-long fight and surrendered to authorities Wednesday.

Smoldering debris from red shirt barricades constructed mostly of old tires and bamboo pikes littered the streets around the capital's premier shopping and residential districts, where protesters have been camped out. Army and police — firing live ammunition and using armored personnel carriers — kept up a steady barrage as they tightened the circle around the camps around dawn on Wednesday.

Six protesters and an Italian news photographer were killed and about 60 people wounded in the latest gun battles.
