Thais use wrong symbol for peace protest.

Thai Protesters Create Mercedes Logo Instead of Peace Symbol

All I want is a little peace and quiet.

Give me a little piece and I'll be quiet.

I recall seeing the 'mb 3 pointed star' style of peace symbols used, mainly as tokens worn around the neck. We all paid attention to VW's & woodies (no, the cars), in surf city, , , -c-

Unity of air, sea, and road. That's peace.

Agreed, way back in the day, before JP was born, I used to wear plastic peace signs around my neck (because it was what kids did) and I would get into arguments with the others who wore the 3 pointed variety because theirs wasn't "right"...

Probably, they were tied in tight with the administration.

Porsche was tied in tight with the heavy manufacturing side, Mercedes was tied in because Hitler was an enthusiast.

Check the number plates on the truck.

WL - That stood for Wehrmacht Luftwaffe.
