Today I went for a cycle ride past the SC Park Hotel

Today I went for a cycle ride near my house and I passed SC Park Hotel off the Pradit Manutham (Ekkamai-Ram-Indra) Road.
On Friday there was an attempt to capture some of the Red Shirt leaders who were staying there, Arisman, Suporn Attawong, Payap Panket and Jeng Dokjik.
The operation reportedly started at 3am, with stake-out forces stationing themselves near the hotel's entrances and exits, with a few disguising themselves as guests. Problem was, nobody knew for sure which rooms the leaders were staying in. The four reportedly arrived at the hotel at around 4am.
Then around 6am another group of officers, purportedly working for an assistant police chief, arrived. One of them then committed a grave blunder by asking the hotel reception for house keys that could open all suspicious rooms.
That apparently did it. Phone calls must have been made by certain staff members and within minutes red shirts living nearby were gathering at the hotel. By the time the two groups of officers became aware of each other's presence, the hotel was crawling with red shirts.
When the policemen finally got hold of the keys, Arisman was already playing a Mission Impossible hero by climbing out of the window, albeit with some difficulty due to his weight
The SC Park Hotel incident has inflamed gossip about tamruad makuathed or tomato police, (the term for pro-red police who allegedly might have dragged their feet when it comes to legal action or operations against the protesters). Maybe Fridays operations were simply lousy and ill conceived, or maybe there are tamruad makuathed moles within the force,
There are also taharn taengmo, (melon soldiers) – melons are green outside and red inside and there are taharn sapparod , ( pineapple soldiers) who are aligned with the yellow shirts. Now the yellow shirts have issued a demand to the government to resolve the crisis within seven days or else they will rally as well.
