Second Batch Of Airport Protesters Charged In Court: Bangkok 2008

[SamMunich]

Now Ive stopped chuckling let me say How you can compare 10,000+ facists stopping an airport to an industrial dispute in another country is beyond the realms of anybodys imagination. The airport was closed down, and rightly so because of the dangers to the travelling public and incoming flights(yes your friends forced their way into the control tower). Surrounded by plain clothes army guys with arms amounts to terrorism.

Please sit down in the corner and protest and they would have. Did you miss the 30m stage out front. We are all entitled to opinions but it might be an idea to keep yours to yourself

So why are the one side "fascists" and the other ones the "good" folks in an industrial dispute?

Next: How many people were invading the airport area? 500, 5K, 10K, how many? I didn't count them... And does the number say anything about the level of their hostility?

I still think, this airport thing was blown out of proportion by people trying to blame the PAD for anything that was available, even if it were an airport closure.

A word not known to many is de-escalation,- that would have worked wonders in those days...
