we better watch out."
Can't you see the problem with that statement? This tragedy was entirely preventable; all that was required was proper security procedures. Allowing a gun into a courtroom is a serious failure which raises many questions. Focusing on the nationality of the assailant is pointless, it was a freak incident and the guy is dead. It's not as if foreigners are any more predisposed to acts to violence than Filipinos. In fact there are many more foreign victims of violence here than vice-versa.
