Mendoza was armed
Innocent lives faced imminent danger
He should have been felled at first chance
The scores of snipers had their chances to do it
They did not.
The tourists died in vain
Not even the area was cordoned for others safety
Expertise in the SWAT team could only swot a house fly
They vacillated and dramatized the spectacle
They failed.
Shame to the Philippines
A culture given to all talk and no action
Such was the debacle for a Comedy of Fatal errors
Uncoordinated, poor command and indecisiveness
Played out like Cowboys and Indians.



General Santos Time






This whole thing is so sad. I watched some of it on you tube. I feel so sorry for all the victims.
