In Thailand there are only 6 free TV channels for people, and poor people won't know what is happening because they couldn't get to more medias and news.
Newspaper isn't a common source of news for most people. So they are sinking into a hole or falling behind a news and reality curtain.

They are right that if someone does not understand the value of their vote and the responsibility that goes with it, then perhaps the country is not yet ready for true democracy! Some of Thailand best governments were non elected...

Bangkok Mass Transit Authority director Pinet Puapatanakul said the city bus agency was negotiating with the PAD for the return of four passenger buses seized by PAD supporters yesterday. They had planned to use them as part of the blockade of parliament. He wanted the PAD to return the buses they had taken because passengers relied on the service.

You say the PAD attacked the taxi drivers, you know this for sure do you? Did you know that the UDD (Red Shirts) often don the yellow shirts and create trouble to turn public opinion against the PAD? Who was it that were launching rockets and throwing grenades, not the PAD, of that I assure you!
A movement that defines itself as “non-violent” cannot afford to have violent incidents. Two shootings in recent weeks can be attributed to PAD guards - one person was killed about one hour after a grenade was launched at PAD guards on 30 October. The second victim, injured in the shoulder on 2 November, was the driver of a car with 5 young people who had a night out in Banglampoo and took a wrong turn on their way home. They ended up at PAD barricades and were shot at by a PAD guard. Several bullets were fired at their car.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - The assault by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) was swift and savage, a head-on charge by a convoy of vehicles speeding down the wrong side of an expressway into scores of unarmed police. As the terrified officers fled, some of them jumping through the open door of accelerating police vans, wild-eyed young men burst from the PAD vehicles, attacking with sling shots, fireworks, iron bars and wooden stakes.

They have illegally detained other citizens. They have vandalised, destroyed and stolen public and private property.
Their coordinated attacks and actions on the pretext of self-defence and national interest are designed to cause a widespread feeling of insecurity and uncertainty and allow reactionary elite forces to push Thailand back to a 1980s model of "half-sail" semi-elected government.
