:stop Bangkok, WTF?

This shit has gotten insane

Quote:
Thailand's authorities have put Bangkok and about a third of the country under curfew after street protest leaders surrendered.

At least 27 buildings were set ablaze after the red-shirt leaders' surrender and pockets of resistance remained despite pleas from leaders to go home.

..

Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister living in self-imposed exile whom many red-shirts support, said the crackdown could spawn mass discontent and lead to guerrilla warfare.

"There is a theory saying a military crackdown can spread resentment and these resentful people will become guerrillas," he told Reuters news agency by telephone.

And some pretty horrific pictures - thanks DWB and keep your frikken head down fer chrissakes. A great pic just isn't worth it!
