THE RED SHIRT COFFIN CONVOY

The red shirt anti-government protesters symbolically paraded coffins throughout Bangkok yesterday.
One thing that struck me, as my taxi passed through the convoy, was the number of "normal" people who came onto the streets to cheer the red shirts. Although it wasn't only red shirts who died as a result of Saturday's clashes, perhaps one consequences of what happened is that ordinary Bangkokians may be more sympathetic towards them, even if not entirely sympathetic to their cause.
