I just read this article:
"WHATEVER you sow, you reap. Now, the tables have been turned on the November 7, 2005 shooting incident at Ortigas Center, Pasig City, as it is now the New People's Army which has expressed interest in looking into the killing of three suspected carnappers by elements of the Traffic Management Group (TMG) of the Philippine National Police (PNP)....
... if justice could not be given by the government's duly-constituted authorities to the victims and their families, justice, NPA-style, would be brought to bear upon the perpetrators. We shudder to think what this would really mean, but then, everyone must account for his deeds, at one time or another. "
Um... not sure what to say. Whatever the outcome of this is, I hope no one is physically hurt and we just get closer to peace and justice.
Pursuit of justice is all well and good. But vigilante justice is a different story.
ReplyDeleteThe NPA should stay out of this. It is not their fight. What motivation could they possibly have to get involved, other than to advance their own selfish agendas?
As much as I want justice for the victims, I believe two 'wrongs' do not make a 'right'.
Just my $0.02
I agree with that comment. Two wrongs definitely DO NOT make a right. I hope justice for Francis Xavier Manzano, but in a peaceful manner.
