I think the slip is that he is implying all them red shirt protestors got paid to march and trash the city and get the ASEAN meeting stopped (this is like a G20 but with Asian leaders)
they got the meeting cancelled and all the leaders of China, Malaysia had to be airlifted out for their own safety – but it ended up a big riot with live rounds fired in the street, many injured and at least two people killed…
on a lighter note as the food had already been cooked, it meant that all the pro-government civil servants, journalists and soldiers remaining in the meeting venue ate it instead before they carried on fighting with the red shirts – you know your in South East Asia when they make sure everyone has eaten before they start fighting :laugh_at:
