Well I'll be. Who'd have guessed that Bangkok's finest were up to no good with that stuff?

Perhaps it was just gear left over from the crowd control operations directed by Chalerm and Surapong last year.

Handy that it was next door to the bomb disposal bods, Felix had a gentle stroll...

The point to note here is that it looks like the police bureau car park was being used by the terrorists attacking the protestors. Very convenient : police can guard the entrance to ensure nobody gets caught.

Just like the roof of Chalerms department - strenuously denied until the UAV footage proved it.

The incumbent government using terrorism against it's own people .... about as bad as it can get.

If one goes off in your hands - no difference!!

Its just the ammo and explosives supply sales department at your friendly local Police station I thought all police departments run this service or where else could you buy a decent quality hand grenade .

Nothing unusual. Just used in case protection is needed for the level 3 casino.

Well not difficult to change them into bombs.....But you are right.

Don't worry, by tomorrow the investigation will be 80% complete, all suspects will be known, and some clown on Facebook named "redgrenadier" will be detained for questioning.
