    There never seems to be any update from the B.P. on stories like this. Is it because they dont know or just dont want to report it at the moment. Is he out on bail or still detained?

    Surely a lot of people must go in jail in Thailand, for a lot of reasons. But when a country put the protesters and politic opponents in jail, it's a dictatorship. #1, are you sure it's normal to put a guy in jail because he is an editor of magazine?

    He gets banged up and all the rest of the red shirts due to report "2nd,3rd,4th" will get banged up except those that do a runner.

    I wonder if he is being coached for a specific role or was he just goaded into showing his redness.
