Anti government supporters are trying to occupy / invade ministries around Bangkok and Nonthaburi in order to stop the government functioning. This is the second time the protestors have been to the ministry in question, this time being a weekend the crowds were much bigger.
Photos taken during the protests that erupted when the National Socialist Movement (Neo-Nazis) marched to the Phoenix Federal building. The NSM was there to protest a federal judge's decision to 'water down' the SB1070 immigration legislation. I've never seen a more disgusting group of people assembled in one place, but it was their right to have their march and to say what they wanted to say. Fortunately the Phoenix Police Department was there to keep things under control. Pepper spray was used but that was only when the anarchists got too close. Quite a day I can tell you.
A small group of protestors walked up Valencia and then down Mission. They were kettled and arrested around midnight. They were shouty, but non-violent and not damaging property.

Protest at Ministry of Justice in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo against requiring Non-Japanese people to submit fingerprints and portrait photo everytime for Japan immigration.
I was stunned, overwhelmed, and astonished by the protest at Shahbag. Within minutes I was engulfed by the spirit, energy, and excitement of the crowd there, immediately drawn in the public's desire to get "proper" justice. The environment was phenomenal--there were people from all backgrounds, ages, and religions--and the air was electric with the slogans, optimism, and hopefulness of the crowd.

Protest against police brutality in New York, 2020.
Marches all over the United States, and later around the World, were triggered by the murder of George Floyd by police officer Darek Chauvin.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life and repeatedly saying "I can't breathe".A second and third officer further restrained Floyd while a fourth prevented bystanders from intervening.[4][5]:6:24 During the final three minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse[6][7] while Chauvin ignored onlookers' pleas to remove his knee, which he did not do until medics told him to.The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public,all four officers were fired. Two autopsies found Floyd's death to be a homicide.[12][13] Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, to which was later added second-degree murder; the three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
June 22, 1996. A dozen members of a self-anointed and unwelcome KKK group came to Ann Arbor to hold a thumb-in-your-eye rally at City Hall. A protest group, the National Women's Rights Organizations Coalition (NWROC) formed to oppose them. After the rage had been mounting for awhile, this simpleminded redneck wandered up, wearing a Confederate-flag T-shirt and drinking a bottle of Lipton tea. The crowd tore off after him, he fell, and the mob pounced, striking for blood. Keshia Thomas, horrified, threw herself over him to stave off the angry blows. Moments earlier, Thomas, 18, had been in the NWROC group, shouting at the KKK. It was a heroic and passionate moment in a crazy afternoon, well captured in these photographs.
In a story in People Magazine, Thomas was quoted as saying, "You don't beat a man up because he doesn't believe the same things you do. He's still somebody's child."
The guy never dropped his tea bottle . . . .

Within 2 years Ikea erected a 7 story bunker building in the heart of Altona-Altstadt, a multi ethnical residential area. Protesters make Ikea accountable for increasing rents, increasing traffic and pollution and the effects of a wider gentrification, which will force people with lower income out of their inhabited area and local business to shut down.

So this was one of three protests that was going on during my walk three blocks to pick up lunch. At one point two of the protests met on the street and one had to wait for the other to turn before they could continue.
They are very interesting to watch (and hear from the office where I work) as they use firecrackers and drums to make as much noise as possible to draw attention to their cause. I am not sure what this one was protesting, but it is a daily occurence on this street.

London Students in Anti Vietnam War Demonstration
Throughout 1968 countless anti-Vietnam war protests were held all over both the UK and the world. Many of these demonstrations descended into violent riots, the most severe in Paris and Mexico City. On Sunday 17th March a crowd of protestors, largely made up of students, clashed with police outside the American embassy in London, in what is now known as the Battle of Grosvenor Square. The march was lead by Tariq Ali and Vanessa Redgrave, culminating in a portion of the 25,000 strong crowd being cordoned off in the square by police, both mounted and on foot. Mick Jagger was present for the ensuing violence, resulting in the song Street Fighting Man; even ‘sleepy London town’ had joined in the global activism.
This photograph, taken outside The London School of Economics and Political Science in May of 1968, shows students protesting against the support of the British government for the American war with Vietnam. The comparatively peaceful sit-in was comprised of around 200 students of LSE, largely made up of the Socialist Society, and was hoped to be the start of a revolution of the French model by its organisers. Here we see a section of the multitude of students, an air of hope and positivity as they congregate outside the university. The crowd has an undulating uniform surface, reflecting the shared ideologies of the gathering, punctuated by the static policeman in the foreground.

August 22, 2011. Protesters organized by "Anonymous" marched against the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) in downtown SF, causing the train stations to shut down temporarily. The protestors went up and down Market Street, followed closely by police in riot gear. 45 people were eventually arrested.
Reasons for the protest: shooting by Bart police and the subsequent shut-off of cell-phone use on August 11th (by Bart to avoid coordination efforts within the stations).
