No one said you were.
Anyways, I do agree with your third paragraph though regarding alternatives for punishment after a prison sentence. Condemning someone with a death penalty right off the bat does seem harsh and unreasonable and so further discussion for punishment is needed.
If this attack went through... like, seriously, just count the number of potential innocent victims. That much ammunition can easily net them around 20 kills, mostly kids, and quite possibly a lot more than that. Just thinking about it scares the living shit out of me, and I'm a mofuckin asian living in South East Asia! It's either you turn them into a very harsh lesson to strike fear into others that might go down that path, or you will very likely have more crying mothers weeping for little children shot up by sick fuckers like these. Yeah, I'm starting to use swear words a lot because fuck these fuckers need to disappear, stat.
Cool, the usual agenda pushing in the face of even the slightest bit of controversy involving guns. when you are born and raised by the guns of the patriots then you have a right to complain. otherwise give it up. our country was born by the gun, telling us to give up the wide availability in our country is like us telling you to give up your swords/bows, and just like a sword or a bow the danger comes from the person holding it, they would probably have done it anyway using a sword, or a bow, or hell they probably would have tried it using a freaking letter opener since they where obviously very intent on killing.
GUNS ARE PART OF WHO WE ARE AND WE WON'T GIVE IT UP, EVER.
Fine, don't give it up. Just be responsible gun owners. And don't be a fucking threat to society. Don't go around toting loaded firearms, especially to unarmed citizens, just because you don't agree on something and feel the need to exert your "authority".
But come to think of it, if you have to have a loaded gun on your person to feel safe in your area, to belong in your area, then there's something VERY VERY WRONG with your area. That area is a WARZONE, regardless of whether or not people are actually shooting each other up or not.
As a fellow Filipino, I will have to disagree. Abuse can happen on both sides. It's easy to say that "suspicious" people should be dealt with immediately before they can do anthing. But what if that person is actually innocent? Without a proper trial, you can never really know. That's what Marcos has done to the Philippines from the late seventies to the early eighties. Some people can easily prove that it was "safer" on that time, but the relatives of people who has just been executed or "disappeared" without trial will say otherwise.
Abductions are far, far too different from cases like these where we have irrefutable evidence of preparation and threats declared through language. That's what happened during the Marcos era. Accusations with no basis, no evidence, just a finger pointed your way and you're off to never never land, never never to appear ever again.
This one's loads different. Caught red-handed,
pare, they might as well pull their pants down as it stands. But as I said a few posts back, I don't mind giving them a chance to prove us wrong, that they aren't sick fuckers who were about to go on a murder spree. I don't mind that. But things must be quick, and decisive. We don't have to lose our humanity to violence, but when there is threat of violence, we must be able to deal with that threat in such a way that prevents any more threats of that nature from happening in the future. I.E., be so brutal as to scare the living shit out of sick fuckers. Citizens need not fear, unless they do something really stupid. But stupid things can be dealt with in relatively non-violent ways. But there are special cases like these which I think needs to be cauterized.
I'm so glad I'm not in a position to be a monster that scares all the other monsters away, lol. But somebody needs to take that position, and
satin pare, I wish it's Duterte.
