Thai blood protests

[Cain]

Yeah, but how are the riot police going to deal with all that blood on the floor?  I mean, its pretty slippery, and they are wearing some heavy armour...

This has all the makings of a great slapstick comedy.

Thank God for Youtube.

EDIT:  Turns out the revolution WILL be televised.

[Elder Iptuous]

you think that the protestors would be pleased or upset that their antics might get set to the tune of the Benny Hill show?

[Jenne]

NICE.  GO SIAM.  That place has been fucked up for a while...I mean, long while.

If we tried this here in the US, they'd call the fucking CDC down on us for "assault with a deadly weapon."  Har.

Oh, yeah.  You'd be up on bioterrorism charges so fast your head would spin.

I believe there has been conviction of AIDS patients who've thrown their blood in protest of just this same thing in the US...

I've heard that, but never seen an actual news report.  I assumed it was urban legend.  The funny part here is that Thailand has a huge HIV positive population, so basically, they're throwing hundreds of gallons of AIDS-infected blood at their government.

Which is something that should be done here.  I'd settle for flung poop, to be honest.

...thought about the poo--that would DEFINITELY get you put up on charges.  

Here, Google brought this up:

and then something else somewhere else on Indiana's laws:

Indiana imposes penalties on persons who recklessly or knowingly donate blood or semen with the knowledge that they are HIV-infected.

and

Some states have used traditional criminal statutes to prosecute such offenders, by charging them with attempted murder or assault. For example, in State v. Haines, 545 N.E.2d 834 (Ind. Ct. App. 1989), the defendant was convicted of attempted murder for biting, scratching, spitting, and throwing blood on others with the intent to infect them with his HIV condition.

So if you KNOW that it's AIDS infected, that means you get convicted.  

I actually saw some link talking about the issue of sanitation of the Thai blood protest while looking this up...

[Doktor Howl]

If I'm gonna throw poop, being arrested is the last concern I have.

But yeah, knowing it's infected blood and still throwing it should be treated about the same as throwing a molotov cocktail.

Sometimes necessary for the greater good and attacking Soviet tanks.

Oh, not saying that it should never be done.

[Cain]

I guessed that might be the case, but its always worth attempting to slip Soviet tanks into the argument via wilfull misunderstanding.

There's always room for Soviet tanks.

Thailand is actually a Lady Gaga video.

I read in The Times that they have been draining about 10ml each. The pictures were of masice bottles empty lying in blood and the riot police all with their shields a-splattered.

yeah I would say that it makes it even more impressive, that so many people would agree to have a blood-sucking needle in their arm



and yeah that will cost the government anyway to have hazmat-suited dudes cleaning up all the blood

Why don't U.S. citizens do crazy shit like this anymore? We could relearn some things from the people of Thailand.

Marches used to be a legitimate threat until the novelty wore off them in the sixties and seventies. And they're easy and the biggest, looming example of What Works in our heads, even if they don't anymore, so we try to use them.
