Saturday morning 24-11-12, the polices even block people from walking to the Royal Plaza to join the rally, such a dirty trick!

In blocking the demonstrators the goverment is going to increase the heat and the anger.
The Court said "Pitak Siam" rally can proceed, so the Police cannot prevent it... The PTP/UDD government go against the rule of the law...

Useless abuse of power to stop people criticising the even more useless proxy government. I'm going and nothing is going to stop me.

Police advised motorists to avoid using roads near the Royal Plaza.
How can they if they are blocked off. I Suppose this is one way of stopping Thai people from going is the roads are blocked how can they get in.

Closing roads already!!! Another move to make the rally look bad by inconveniencing the people. They could do it overnight. They have plenty of police now to do it.
