Red Shirt Rally Day 37: Keeping Law and Order in Bangkok

When police commandos went to arrest the leaders of the Red Shirts at a Bangkok hotel, they observed one of them climbing out the hotel window in classic style (knotted bedsheets) and dropping to the street below.  Come on, man,  we're here to arrest you. Such disrespect for law and order. It was too humiliating for the Men in Khaki, especially since the protesters took two senior police commanders hostage. To show they are really, really, REALLY serious now, the government has appointed the army chief to head the state-of-emergency operations.
