I am so sad for this country. Truly. The past two days have been spent on lock-down in my stark-white-going-insane room. Because of political unrest and violent rioting, Bangkok was declared in a state of emergency.
I drove with some friends through the city this afternoon. Suddenly, the overcrowded and colorful streets of Bangkok were eerily vacant unless marked by military. Protesting started peacefully, but has escalated to violent demonstrations and taken two lives. Two men, 50 and 19 years old, lost their lives… for what? 19?
If you don’t know what’s going on, there are two political “sides” – the Red Shirts and the Yellow Shirts. The Reds are anti-government, many of them uneducated and a large majority unsure of what they’re really fighting for. Their protests are aimed at the resignation of Thailand’s current Prime Minister. Buses were highjacked this morning and set ablaze, stores and shops were destroyed, and now the blood shed.
The people of this country are frustrated, and even if they don’t know why they’re fighting, I guess protests like this provide an outlet. I am so sad for this country. Truly.
