Protesting With Blood

Disgusting Thai liberals poured gallons of human blood at the gates of their government today.

They lined up, and everyone donated a few vials, and they dumped it all into big bottles which they then dumped under the gates of the government. Gross. Hep and HIV, oh my. From the AP here:

Thai protesters poured several jugs of their own blood at the front gate of the government headquarters and outside the ruling party’s offices Tuesday in a symbolic sacrifice to press their demands for new elections.

Thousands of red-shirted demonstrators formed long lines to have their blood drawn by nurses, a day after their leaders vowed to collect 1 million cubic centimeters of blood – 264 gallons (1,000 liters) – to spill at Government House and other key locations.

A few teaspoons of blood were drawn from the veins of each volunteer and then transferred into dozens of large plastic water containers that were passed overhead through the crowd of cheering protesters before being delivered to Government House, the prime minister’s office. Riot police allowed protest leaders to approach the white iron front gate and pour out the blood, which oozed under the gate as national television broadcast the images live.

As many as 100,000 Red Shirt protesters converged Sunday on the Thai capital to demand that Abhisit agree to dissolve parliament by midday Monday. Abhisit refused and blanketed the capital with security, but said his government was open to listening to what else the protesters had to say.

The Red Shirts include supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and other activists who oppose the 2006 military coup that ousted him for alleged corruption and abuse of power.

Thaksin gave the country universal healthcare when he was in office and now all the nurses get together and draw blood from its citizens to throw at the new government? This is how you get dictators. Massive populist movement under the guise of democracy where the people will give their blood. Chilling!
