It's not race or religion but "class conflict" in Thailand and this is a serious warning for the whole world! Suppose the difference of rich and poor keeps worsening and jobless rate keeps going up then more of this sort of conflict may be happened all over the world.

PAD protestors shoot at the media and threaten bloodshed. Another 80 million people around the world just lost any ounce of respect or sympathy they MAY have had for them (and counting).

".. tells both sides to step back...." This guy is seriousily delusional. My god, the problem is that the government is not stepping up to the plate to defend itself, the constitution, and the country. And the PAD is DEMANDING the police guard the "protesters" (read "occupiers") at Government House - even while holding a policeman hostage! The arrogance of these thugs is unbelievable. No, if the police refuse to do the job at the airports and Government House, there are those that will. This has the potential to get real ugly, real fast. The real problem is that factions of the royal family are not-so-covertly supporting the PAD; will this spell the end of the monarchy? civil war? killing fields? The end of the country? The government's inaction, whatever the reason, has been a serious blunder.
