The red shirts protests started off just as peaceful as this group.

A month in they started to build the barricades, there was the assassination, grenade attack on the BTS station, and things started to look different.

I'm not saying that this will morph in a similar way. Only stating that at this stage the red shirt protests looked no more violent than what we are seeing today.
