2010-05-17 09:12:57Has anyone considered the effort it's going to take to fight their way out of the rally site after they fight their way in?
2010-05-17 09:49:10Looked down our side soi (Soi Si Ayutthay 2) off Rang Nam and we are even more trapped than before. Many have been trapped here since Sat.

2010-05-17 10:59:39Odd bit of history: it was May 17-20 in 1992 that later became known as Black May in Thailand after 52 were killed in pro-democracy demos.
2010-05-17 11:04:25Two more dead overnight in Bangkok, bringing total since Friday to 35. I count 64 killed since Red Shirt protests began March 12.
