Gunshots fired at Din Daeng protest site: Bangkok

Gunshots fired at protest site

BANGKOK: -- Several gunshots were fired while anti-Thaksin regime protesters were gathering in front of the Din Daeng police station.

The seizure was described by protesters as not to blockade registration application but merely to see the faces of party executives who remain defiant to register for election.

Four gunshots were fire but there was no injury.

Angry protesters demanded the local police chief and deputy commissioner of the metropolitan police bureau to find out the man who fired the shots which were fired from the police station compound.

The shooting happened while protesters and the police have agreed to pull out and return to the Victory Monument

But the protesters now rejected the pull out and demanded the police to explain why the shooting happened.

The police said the shooting was fired from the car park of a hotel not from the police station.

Negotiation is still on.

Is it possible that some police commander whilst preparing to vacate his office in some haste due to the stress he was under thus his posterior which was facing the window and his alimentary canal was subjected to a sudden strong attack of flatulence which would of course account for the gunshot reports and sadly a subsequent ''follow through'' which would of course account for the broken windows?

They are connected to Yingluck's Ipads so she can monitor the situation from afar.

Well I don't recall any thing about broken windows. are you saying the shots were fired at the Police station?

I really liked this part

"Negotiation is still on."

Negotiation as to where the shots came from.

sounds to me like they are saying the other side did the shooting.

Sounds logical... also the bullets would be inside the room if fired inside, surely...

[gerry1011]

Suthep is in desperate need for "something bad" happening.

Gun shots (fired from a nearby hotel) are very convenient to exacerbate the feelings of the anti government protesters towards the police.

The police does everything possible to avoid confrontation, which must rather upset Suthep and the Dems.

It's certainly not the police that fired... That leaves .... Uhm the ones who would benefit from violence.

CCTV footage shows the face of a man throwing a small IED "ping pong" at Din Daeng Police station at 11:47am

So 11:47, apparently gun shots sometime between 11:20am and 11:35 or so.

They will be sent for retraining with the Boarder Patrol Police. After 6 month with them they will be able to use a weapon.

Violence is always wrong, by both sides... Whoever did it, sure didn't help the cause.

I, too, am glad that no one was killed. Some of the protest guards are, armed and some have been charged woith firearm offences. That was several days ago. Do try to up-to-date.

So Suthep is trying provoke the government into a violent confrontation but they are being civilised and won't be dragged into this idiot Suthep's plan

[diehard60]

Well I knew this would happen and it is all because of one man. Suthep, if he had stopped when he got the government to disolve parlament liked he wanted origanily none of this would have happened. But he is greedy and wants to be the dictator of Thailand.
