AFP on the PAD mini-rally ouside:
"No one turned himself in today as we are protesting against the police charges," the PAD's lawyer Suwat Apaipak told a crowd gathered outside the national Police Club on the northern outskirts of Bangkok.
"We had only hand-clappers -- how could we seize aircraft at Suvarnabhumi? Our demonstration is not an act of terrorism," Suwat added after submitting a written appeal against the charge.
Key PAD leader Chamlong Srimuang told the crowd, estimated at "a few thousand" by police, that the terrorism charge was "not only exaggerated but it's false".
He said that although the airport protestors were armed with wooden sticks, metal rods, baseball bats and golf clubs, the implements could not be considered as weapons.
BP: Only had hand-clappers? What about the "wooden sticks, metal rods, baseball bats and golf clubs" which Chamlong acknowledges were present?

These lunatics are not stable. Possibly he should borrow a computer and go to UTube to see what all of those can do in the hands of his yellow supporters as a pack of them chase a single red guy down the street like a pack of rabid dogs.
You don't take any of the mentioned articles to a protest, nor do you take razer wire or old truck tires. You take that stuff to a confrontation (Oct 7) or a War (airport).
And you don't ever negotiate with Terrorists like the police did, you put them all jail for a long time.
