MERGED: Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis

[thethird79]

Why didn't the Filipino authorities just pretend to comply with the gunman's demands? That would have saved all the hostages and they could arrest him afterward because he wasn't going to run away. Why didn't they do that?

That's unlikely to happen in most movies wherein an unnecessary tension is required to make the movie more dramatic. But we have just witnessed it... an actual application of what people usually see in the movies.

ang uban pulis nakita sa tv nga dili kahibaw mogunit ug pusil! pakauwaw lang jud...dia ko sa abroad ron ofw. balikbalik diri sa tv pakita, gi kataw-an nila ang ato pulis naglibotlibot sa bus.

Sounds like many of our Detective Comedy movies.

di man siguro makatao kung pusilon dayon bro...he has the right to live bisag unsa pana ka criminal...naka.trigger daw sa iya calmness was when his brother was being detained...

wrong decision that leads to a disastrous ending. its the ultimate Failure.

[high_heels]

sayop kaayo bro and mga sis....in a hostage crisis you do not fuel the hostages takers anger because it would make it worst!!!!!

You empathize and tell him there are other ways and has options for a better exit rather than be haste and start shooting!!! Sayop perti ka sayop gyud!!!! These police officials needs to be more sensitive to what they are dealing. We as human need to be heard in times of desperation and NOT BE TREATED AS A RAT THAT NEEDS TO BE EXTERMINATED!!!!!

Guns are not the solutions, only HUMAN UNDERSTANDING AND SENSITIVITY!!! Those cops provoked him!!! It's simple as that!!!
