Thailand protestors donate blood to throw at govt offices

Protesters in Thailand today donated blood they plan to splatter at the Thai government headquarters in Bangkok in a symbolic sacrifice if their demands for new elections are not met.

Red-shirted demonstrators queued to have their blood drawn by nurses after their leaders vowed they would collect “one million cubic centimetres” of blood – the equivalent of 1,000 standard soft drink bottles – to spill at Government House by tonight.
