D.1. siamitude ; you are a shame to our country.

I don't see any of the so-called " Human Rights Watch " come out and try to investigate those protesters, no matter what color of their shirts, were beaten to death by their adversary.

On a different note, you don't know for a fact and you are judging already, you are very easy to manipulated, Amigo !

Last note, the news said Thai navy, but you said Thai army ? What gives ?
