unsafe society

Hmmmmn.. this entry is somewht unpleasant.. maybe you all heard about the hostage drama in manila.. wherein the boy (4 years old) as well the hostage taker died. It such a sad sad fact that a boy that age would die in that way. We do live in such a cruel society wherein no one is safe even from the one who should be protecting us. The boy suffered 13 stab wounds from the Hostage taker and 4 bullet wounds from the police. Imagine the suffering of that fragile body.. haaay!! I feel awfully sad cause I have a niece same his age. How do we protect our children at this time and age?

I feel pity and I feel anger. Pity for the way that child had died.. there are more people who deserves to die that way. Anger for the Hostage taker and the Police.. oh yes.. the boy didn't die of stab wounds... he died from the bullet wounds inflicted by the ones who ought to save him from the hands of the insane hostage taker. The TV stations keep on replaying the video..showing the anguish of the child in the hands of the hostage taker and of course showing the stupidity of the Manila Police. Imagine.. you're just going to visit family and find yourself in a situation like that..Just thinking of it makes me cringe and my skin crawl. I just hope that it won't happen again.. I don't want to walk around with my niece and nephew at the malls worrying about the people around us..
