Want to let all you know the truth, i'm not taking side but the things that red shirt did make me to come forward. Red shirt protester is Taksin's army. They said to do whatever they can to creat the riots. It really bad here coz' this is not protest for democracy anymore, it's terrorist act.!! I want all the foreign news to know the truth that Taksin wants his dirty money back so he made the deal with red shirt group to make a scene. Then if he succeed there will be negotiation, he will be back to the coutry without any charges, he wants to come back clean so he will involve in politic again. I used to like him a lot but since what he did today is ruin the country. He said that if he doesnt get it(country) then no one will!. He fulls of lies and corrupt in every way, kill lot of people who getting in his way which of now there are some crime cases that still unsolves.

Our existing PM, Khun Abisith is the best person at the moment to manage the coutry but Taksin tries to say that he become PM non-democracy way. But previously, Somchai (Taksin's brother in law) also came to be PM the same way as Abisith but Taksin said nothing. He (Taksin) is such a hypocrypts!

This fight is not democratic way anymore, there never be democracy when people who got vote in to cabinet use money to buy vote from provinces people. Thais are suffer here and we had cried for our country to come to this point. Taksin is a convict, he moved his family out of the country before this riots happen which mean he plans this all along. Red shirts dont get it that they cannot move away from this country doing this is just ruin their own country. They still have to be here and suffer here like all of us, but taksin is somewhere else coz' he has money to be wherever (he promised that he will come back, of course he never will).

Last night, our family went out to the street gave energy drinks and water to the army. We would like to show support and want them to know that they did the right things. Red shirts are going too far about all the NGV buses that was burnt down which can cause a bomb. They do not have a clear objective just creat the loss every where they go. The hospital was blocked 3 days ago so no patient can go back home 2,000 sick people in there waiting to go home. Many roads are (still) closed and the home-made gasoline bombs which was thrown into the mosque (at Petchaburi road) and everywhere that they passed, so muslim people in the community have to fight back coz' they are too much to bear. The gasoline transportation truck (8 ton of gas) was threaten to ignite at Din Dang area like they held people around the area hostage, so people in the community is very angry and fight back. Last night around 2AM there were a fight between red shirt and people in community (Nang Lerng area), 2 people from the community was shot dead by red shirt. Also redshirt attacked patrol army with gun so one of soldiers was injured. NONE from Red shirt is dead, confirmed. Red shirt has all the guns and weapons in their hands at the moment and now they place the gas tank around the protest area. The army tried so hard to negotiate and not too injured any one of them coz' they also Thais just brainwashed by Taksin's money. Please please tell taksin to come forward and responsible for these riots. He said he support them so all the blood and loss of life today is on HIS hand ONLY. I hold him personally responsible for everything that happen to the country. This convict is so dangerous that every country should be aware off. Warn them and held taksin responsible. Dont ever talk about the king to intervene this situation as his majesty the king is above the conflict. His intention from this intervene is to get pardon from the king so he will be free man. Only one who lie here is HIM!!!
