from the mouth of a protestor in bangkok (allegedly):
"People of higher class look down upon us even though we serve them," said the slingshot-wielding Sakhorn, who has spent the last four nights sleeping on the streets behind the tire barricades, without a shower or a change of clothes. "They think we are stupid because we are poor."
With a flourish, he pulled the slingshot and white pebbles from the pocket of his jeans, which are shredded at the left knee.
"This is all I have got, and the government calls me a terrorist!" he said. "I believe in negotiations if it done by our leaders. If not, we will keep fighting even if it takes years."
