h90 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 If it's tear gas being fired, there is a lot of it, because you can hear regular blasts in the background. I got reports about huge amounts. Now is the regular blasts but before there were huge amounts in short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammered Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Just turned on ASTV they have pictures of demonstrators going to help the injured. It seems quite confused but reports seem to indicate the police fired tear gas and possibly other rounds line of sight into demonstrators and vehicles including at least one ambulance. It sounds similar to how the rescue worker described the fiing of tear gas line of sight into people's bodies this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 What a state to be in. Prime Minister has to be airlifted out of Parliament and numerous rounds of tear gas used to ensure members of Parliament can go home ... how long can this kind of situation go on? Bookies will no doubt be slashing the odds on tanks once again rolling down the streets of Bangkok later today or tomorrow. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sriracha john Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The number of injured is quickly rising... Thai police fire tear gas against crowd; 118 hurt Thai riot police clashed Tuesday with thousands of protesters who barricaded Parliament and vowed to block the government from leaving, a bold new tactic that intensified a six-week political crisis. More than 100 people were wounded including two protesters who had parts of their legs blown off by what police said was exploding tear gas canisters. The chaos prompted Deputy PM Chavalit Yongchaiyudh to resign and resulted in new PM Somchai Wongsawat sneaking out of the Parliament to avoid being spotted by angry protesters demanding his resignation. Riot police moved in after sunrise and fired multiple rounds of tear gas canisters to clear a path for the government and lawmakers. Somchai opened the parliamentary session after a 90-minute delay but as he spoke chaos escalated outside the building. Anti-government protesters regrouped and barricaded all four entrances to the Parliament, saying their goal was to block top officials from leaving the building. Earlier in the day, spokesman Colonel Sansern Kaewkamnerd said the Army was "concerned" about the violence against unarmed protesters and that any serious injuries should be investigated. The clashes wounded 118 people, including 24 seriously, said Petpong Kumtonkitjakarn of the Erawan Medical Center. Reporters outside Parliament heard gunfire when police moved in after sunrise, but police insisted that only tear gas was being used against the crowd in Bangkok.
