Hong Kong tourists killed in Manila bus hijack

I was slow at catching this piece of news....only went to check the details of the news and saw the video clip after reading some related post in the forum...and it all seemed to start as a 'simple' piece of news, but with ended so terribly horrible...started simple...as in this man - probably just terribly stressed...wanting his job back and demanding himself some 'justice'...(just dont understand how stupidly the authority could react? why can't they just say yes to such an agitated man, who would have probably turn not so sane by then? I mean, how many of such incident could easily happen here as well...I am not sure if our authorities are any better in handling such situation than the Filipino counterparts (despite saying this, I truly pray that our 'special' squads here are way, way better...but I dont know, and i dont have all that much confidence honestly...or perhaps I should be praying that we will never have this kind of thing happening ever here - heck, of coz, my bloody mouth)...how much damage could such stupidity do to a country...lives flew....and dont think there'll be HK tourists in Manila in months to come...no thanks for me either...and not only talking about how well could the people handle such situation...but at the same time also looking at the stress level of our society, dont you think the rate of people going not-so-sane (if not totally insane) will probably increase?

my deepest condolences to our Hong Kong counterparts...and last but not least, for a slightly lighter moment...i think the Filipino authority may make do with some TVB dramas...series with the police squad, fei fu dui (tiger squad) etc...may impart to them just a little more sense if not a lot....
