Gosh! Hostages in Manila killed!

[Xspace]

From HWZ....

That is a Fig 11 target for you. Even at 300m out, our unmotivated bobo specky NSFs in infantry units can get a killshot.

 

Wtf at the pinoy "SorryWeArn'tTrained" team. seriously epic fail.

 

damn pissed at innocent lives lost due to incompetence.

i happened to catch the whole drama live on channelnewsasia around 7ish, right till the end it was shown live on tv.

Wat i can see is, it was a screwup follow up by lots of screw ups.

 

Wat i dont understand is,

 

Why would they fire tear gas inside the bus?

Was the reason why they did not take him out in the afternoon was because he was on of their own(ex policeman).

It seems that all the SWAT team surrounding the bus are clueless wat to do.

I saw a guy tried to tie a rope around the broken frame of the front door, how come he never tie it to the truck and drag the whole door out?

 

I've been to Manila for the 1st time this year in May (flew into Manila and transferred by van to Anilao) and i really loved it there but since this incident, i am seriously thinking abt going back again seeing how incompetent this country can be.

Not a perfect ending.

So they will put the blame.....on dead people.

Foreigners involved, very delicate situations.

So did the gunman kill himself? Dun think he was killed by the so called Elite Force.

Yes, the tiongs would have handled the situation better. Besides the case you mentioned, there was a recent case where one policewoman posed as a passing-by auntie and saved the hostage. She fired the shots at the hostage-taker while pretending to pass him the mineral water.

gone their tourism industry..hvg been there several times as part of work, i wil never recommend my family to go there despite the beautiful cebu beaches, volcanic lakes...the only safe part is mekati..jus outside Greater Manila, the M16s show up..go further south to mindanao at your own risk..

[Kyrios]

FTs....here.....do the same thing?

[Ferraricalifornia]

in a country where guns can be owned by civillians,

 

what do you expect man???

 

better to go to such countries if you have links with the people there (not authorities, since they can't do nuts)....

 

 

[Nojoke123]

Problem is what are f--k are the snipers doing ?

 

stay at home to take care of baby ?

 

[Ferraricalifornia]

slogging away nia....

 

i also want to be police there....

 

police means legal ownership of a pistol....

[Caravan]

The first thing they should do is to get a similar bus and practise on it. They have hours.

Think they did that for the SQ hijacking.

[Ferraricalifornia]

those are the kind of corrupted people they produce in such a country lah....

[Summer69]

stay at home to take care of baby ?

 

 

maybe the commanders are his "ah bang" (snr officer somemore), they trying to talk out with the hostage taker instead of killing him instantly, but in the end arrowed noob SWAT to take action instead, which c0ck up big time.

 

 

[Summer69]

those are the kind of corrupted people they produce in such a country lah....

 

that's why the lousy/ good/ smart ones all run away from the country as sailors, maids, pros, singer, engineers, store clerk, telemarketeer.....the problem is now all running towards Singapore.

 

I think the next few months will be worst....100K FT from PINO!!!!!. meet target liow lor!!!

 

[Ferraricalifornia]

speaking of FT,

 

did you hear from the news about Labour Minister, Mr Lim Swee Say???

 

he kept on saying,

 

(paraphrased)=> "We could be the First Labour Party to have a multi-national work force"....

 

WTH???

 

you as the garment, take care of cheaper labours from foreign countries???

 

First world environment with 6th world mentality man....

[Nojoke123]

FTs....here.....do the same thing?

 

almost the same...only different is that they don't do it on the bus, but in our workplace...

all chow geng, especially those PRC....
