Support Prachatai
Hej
Läste i Prachatai att militären avfyrade 117 923 skott mot demonstranterna i landets Demokratirörelse i Bangkok, och dom prickskyttar som placerades ut avfyrade 2 200 skott, jag tvivlar på att all denna skarpa ammunition skulle ha missat sina mål, och speciellt då prickskyttarnas.
Denna uppgift kanske får en och annan att tvivla på att demonstranterna sköt sig själva som Suthep och regeringen tillsammans med Generalerna hävdar, hoppas att dom skyldiga får sitt straff till slut.
