Title: Any forces/police types here? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 13:08:53 Well it's all kicking off here again, fun fun fun.
Anyway, so far at least 2 (possibly 5) people have lost limbs which have been literally blown off, along with a now over a hundred people injuired, many seriously. The Old Bill out here are claiming that these lost limbs are the result of being struck by tear gas canisters, does anybody over there know if this is possible? Either way I have an inkling that I may have a day off tomorrow. Title: Re: Any forces/police types here?

I guess it depends how close they were when the tear gas was fired Title: Re: Any forces/police types here? Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 13:36:31 I'd imagine it possible if the cannisters are pressurised enough.

Actually I have no idea. Title: Re: Any forces/police types here? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 13:55:32 Oh dear, the Army are out again now.
When is the last time the the military was called into action to help keep the peace in Blighty? Title: Re: Any forces/police types here? Post by: Bogus Dave on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 13:57:18 Probably the 70's. Or maybe the poll tax riots. We live in a civilised part of the world see.
Hope you keep yourself out of trouble though, is not a teensy bit scary? Title: Re: Any forces/police types here? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 14:04:28 It's more e

It's more interesting/exciting than scary Dave, mostly because it is happening in a different part of a very big city. Title: Re: Any forces/police types here?

Title: Re: Any forces/police types here? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 14:23:08 Oh right. If there was a coup would you be in danger, what being a different nationality an' all Nah, they wouldn't be interested in me. The last cool was quite cool. The reason being that the old bill where dead busy and so the clubs/bars where open 24/7. Maybe you should organise a coup in the UK so that you can enhance your yooni days.

When is the last time the the military was called into action to help keep the peace in Blighty? The military are still in Norn Island...and have been since the late 60's. It should be noted that these 5000 troops are said to be just barracked in NI...active security ops having ceased in 07. |
