JCCR6 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I was just walking past the front of Central World and noticed there were a few (500 max) redshirts gathering outside the construction fence that now surrounds Central World. The police were standing between them and the traffic, presumably to stop any attempts for the crown to move out into the road. One thing that kind of got to me was the fact the were writing and spraying graffiti on the construction fence, while the police stood by and watched. I'm sure if a non-redshirt wearing citizen were to do the same thing, they would be arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkangorito Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 How do you know that they were 'redshirts'? And don't bother saying, "Because they were all wearing red shirts." Anybody can cause trouble, particularly after the recently well publicised problems in BKK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) maybe they come to pay respects to their dead??? If their leaders had respected them when they were alive - and accepted the peace deal - there would no need for any remembrance ceremonies now.

MrBrad Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Could it be that so many people were wearing red shirts was because it was Sunday? Thais have long had a custom of wearing a different color for each day of the week: Sunday - red Monday - cream/yellow Tuesday - pink Wednesday - green Thursday - orange/brown Friday - blue Saturday - black/purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's a change, they usually totally ignore them. Maybe Abhisit personally put 100b notes in their pockets that morning. He's going to have to out-bid TS if he wants more action than that. How do you know that they were 'redshirts'? Maybe he administered an IQ test and they all scored below 60. Anything higher means they're fake reds.
