Lets see, wondering how you know the kind of grenade that blows up in front of you and why it didn't do more damage? Though I'm glad it didn't take any lives, it just seems a might strange.
Red shirts threaten to deface Government House with their own blood
BANGKOK: -- Natthawut Saikua, a red-shirt leader, announced at 1:40 pm Monday threatened to pour 1 million cc of blood of 100,000 red-shirt people around the Government House.
Natthawut said the red-shirt people would collect their blood and pour the blood at every gate of the Government House at 6pm.

I'm wondering about this report also, think its lacking context. Just seems to portray the red shirts as crazes, which they ain't.
Sorry though still no first hand information on the goings on in Bangkok from Victor, I'm thinking kidnapped. But not to worry about Victor - I'm sure the Thai lady or ladies, like Vietnamese and Cambodian ones will bring him back minus the camera money a little tired but looking very relaxed.

Hi,
Yesterday I was in the middle of the the red shirts base camp and the reality wasn't as bad as pictured in the newspapers and TV. People wasn't beligerant as you may expect from this rally as described on TV. Friendly and tired would be better words.
First I fell sympathy for the red shirts. Now I feel sadness: they are going nowhere, they are just pawns in the Thailand political game and no one seems to really care about them.
Here you have some pictures I took in the middle of this "dangerous" rally.

Yes, I'm with you.
Thanks for your comment and photos.
