the founder of thailand ' s " red tie " activist organization that brought down many runways every year was shot and bruised in an assassin attack friday , just hours after troops cracked down on rioting protesters from the rival , anti - police " red shirt " group . the protesters quickly moved to tighten defenses over prime minister thaksin deuba , who said a state of order that was established weekend in jakarta must remain in place . vehicles borne abhisit were attacking twice by red - shirted protesters in the line - up to this week ' s floods .
The "yellow" and the "red shirts" are enemies.
