BANGKOK - THE renegade general fighting for his life after being shot in the head in Bangkok is a folk hero for the people of Thailand who has made it his mission to protect a sprawling protest site.
Major-General Khattiya Sawasdipol was unconscious in intensive care on Friday after being felled by a bullet as he gave an interview to journalists close next to the barricades of the Red Shirts' rally site.
Medics at the Bangkok hospital where he was being cared for said his chances of surviving were 'quite low'.
The army has denied shooting the fiery general, better known by his nickname 'Seh Daeng", but had warned it would be deploying snipers in the area as part of efforts to disperse the two-month-old protest.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has accused Seh Daeng of prolonging the street demonstrations and the 58-year-old had made no secret of the fact he opposed any reconciliation deal.
Seh Daeng, or 'Commander Red,' has been surrounded by knots of fans seeking his autograph and photo during his walks through the rally site, where vendors display his best-selling books about his jungle adventures.
The death toll from Thailand's worst political violence in nearly two decades, stood at 30 on Friday, with around 1,000 injured in a series of confrontations between the red-shirt movement and security forces.

Bravo my dear Thai brothers and sisters! Now you guys fightings each other just like a dog which you last time considered us, the Khmer, as being so. But now it is your turn to taste it. Let's fight to this end so that a protracted civil war will eventually tear up your society into different pieces and then v can cheer up altogether for your aggressiveness behavior!!! Bravo the proud Siam, your bad fortune is hunting your country. V call on the Muslim in South and the Rohingya from Burma in the Northwest as well as other ethnic minorities to take this golden opportunity to declare succession and independent from the fucking Siemese kingdom! Down fall the Sieam!!! Let's the Thai becomes a no land!!!! Downfall King Bhumvibol!!!
Khmer Thais at the EST-provinces, separate you from Thailand, be independant or annexed to the Cambodia, become Cambodians, after all you were Khmer Cambodians.
So goooooood to see Tai kils Tai, who are being haunted by Khmer refugees/ during period of Long Vek, known as "Preah Ko-Preah Keo" in revengefulness,
