Perspective

Filed Under General | 5 Comments

This bit of news has really bummed me out. It’s terrible thing to realize at how inhuman some of our fellow men can be. I can’t even begin to understand how people like these cannot feel even a tinge of guilt at what they’ve done. That they can look at the victims in the eye and do what they do… it’s beyond my comprehension. That they cannot even imagine what it would be like for the people that would be left behind.

Those victims had lives, had plans, had dreams… they looked forward to the weekend and planned what they’ll be doing with their kids, probably planned on watching Iron Man, or going to Manila, or going to a party, or maybe stay in the house and clean or indulge in a hobby, get drunk sinking karaoke somewhere… go on a date… and they can’t do all that anymore.

It certainly puts into perspective certain things… that no matter how bad it can get for me, no matter how much misfortune falls my way… I’m still alive. I can still do something about my own plans and my own dreams. To not do something… not to have plans …not to have dreams would probably be the stupidest thing I can ever do with this life.

    I was shocked when I read this in the newspaper yesterday. It was a cold-blooded act. Couldn’t they have just taken the money? From all indications, no one was opposing them. They just executed the people there. No reason to do that at all. Very sad, very terrible.

    There was a reason siguro. Kilala yung mga killers ng mga emplyado sa bangko, kaya they couldn’t afford to let those workers live and identify them. The bank should offer a bounty on those killers: WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE, 10 MILLION PESOS REWARD, to apprehend the Killers or bring them to Justice. EXTREME CAUTION: ARMED AND DANGEROUS ! Sila-sila magtututuruan iyan para ma -collect ang Bounty. Teka muna, uso ba ang Bounty Hunting dito sa atin ? maganda ring trabaho ito, extremely dangerous lang. Parang Wild West, ano ?

    The perpetrators of this crime are cold-blooded killers. They have no place in our society. They should all be locked up for the rest of their lives. It’s sickening.

    In medieval times, robbers used a small pitchfork like device to blind their victims in order to avoid witnesses.

    Some of these criminals are ex cops and ex soldiers, some may have even been trained to be cold-blooded killers. Good luck with the bounty hunter gig.:(

    About 20 years ago they said there were about 100,000 criminals in Manila. There maybe a lot more by now. They are a society :(
