[IainBusby]

Philippines police are taking on the role of judge, jury and executioner. This is an interesting article if you can manage to view it.

Thanks Iain,1,000,000 unlicenced weapons?Conservative estimate I guess,guns are easy to buy in pinas,you can pick them up for forty quid just outside Cebu,thats for a .32 or a .38 "Danao special" still does the job.I have friends who have a veritable arsenal at home,because as they say,you just never know who is going to come knocking :Erm:One guy showed me two grenades he kept taped-up in a skyflake tin under his floorboards :Erm:
As for the police and salvage,its old news.

I found that interesting..(wasn't able to watch the whole vid..it wouldn't load..:bigcry:)

I myself feel a bit angry that they are doing these killings..:NoNo:

So called "Rub outs" it cheapens life itself...:yikes:

Filipino's are GOOD natured people...surely there is another way?
