I strongly condemn the hostage-taking that happened in Manila that killed 7 tourists from Hongkong. The stupidity of a dismissed police officer put the whole country to shame in the international community. Prestigious international news agencies like CNN, BBC and Aljazeera covered the whole drama to show how incredibly stupid some Filipinos are.
I can't believe that a man armed with an M16 rifle could walk aimlessly in the streets of Manila and go unnoticed. While civilians are frisked upon entering a shopping mall, here is a man loitering with a rifle in his arm. I can't believe as well that the whole police force of the country to this day, can't properly handle a hostage drama. It took the police 11 hours to put an end to the whole drama with 8 people dead.
I may sound cruel but I definitely think that the hostage-taker deserves to die. I feel so sorry for the tourists and their families who got involved with the senseless and violent actions of a deranged Filipino police officer.
