If I'm correct about all victims were on the side of the protesters. And still quite a few members of TVF preach that it is all organised by Suthep and that the victims deserve what they got.

soi41, rich teacher, jack rich, prbkk and their buddies will be drooling...

Shinawatra supporters will just say there is no evidence of who actually killed them and it's like to be a personal or business dispute.

makes it hard when the reds in here think that these deaths are deserved, poor form when people cheer everytime a protester dies. Some offer condolences but then run the protester that died down, bias can be a pretty nasty business.

I don't know who killed them and I'm really sorry for their deaths or anybody else's death.

But I strongly accuse the police for doing nothing to prevent those deaths and injuries.

Somebody, please tell them they are there to protect the public and not to be biased.

Actually half the 10 victims have been on the side of the anti-govt protesters.

I will assume that Yingluck, Chalerm and Surapong will all be charged for these deaths, just as Suthep and Abhasit were.

I doubt that anyone is happy because of the deaths, although it was expected. And you're wrong about all the victims were protesters.

Yes I read about half the dead people were protesters and the other half therefor "red shirts". But the hundreds of injured were almost completely protesters, far as I know. I don't remember grenades were thrown at other people than protesters.

Your doubt about anyone being happy with people dying is wrong. To prove it with quotes of member richteacher and some of his pals is not possible as those posts including the upset quotes were deleted by moderators. Yet anyone can still read how some people think about the violence and killings without being too explicite.

The rest of the injured were not only protesters. Tell that to the garbage collector, the cops who didn´t get killed and people who tried to vote, not to talk about the people who got their property damaged because of this unholy mess.

You know, there is even talk that the governmental officers are thinking of dressing in civilian clothes due to threats made by the PDRC that these workers are traitors since they didn´t join the protest and shouldn´t receive any money from the government.

Let me just say, there are more than one way to hurt somebody...

How about the rest of the details then? Like how the reds killed were shot by the police, admittedly, posing as blackshirts on top of a building; or as a read leader in a falling out from the Shinawatra regime and thus tactically disposable to create the image that there is a violent feud between both sides.

Or the part about the protesters being unarmed at all times?

The problem here is too many people form opinions in a vacuum. If you refuse to look at the history of Thaksin's assent from his nepotistic career with the police, to cheating business tycoon, to his criminal stranglehold on Thai politics -- if you don't know that history, it is like you were born yesterday.
