Head for the Hills


My mother warned that if we saw trouble coming then we should head the other way. I ignored her sound advice for decades, but once my foot speed showed to that of a drunken teenager in flip-flops I heeded her words in earnest. Hopefully the red shirt protesters had mothers like mine for the army has moved tanks and armored vehicles into Bangkok to disperse the red shirts.

The time for fooling around is over according to an army spokesman who said to the Press, “I will not answer any questions.”

The thousands of people behind the barricades include children and the military will have to be careful not to injure them or their mothers or else the backlash will achieve what the violence has failed to do, namely the fall of the Abhisit government.

Blood will be shed, but if it were up to me then I would head to the nearest bus station and go back home. It’s time to plant rice not your body.
