Hong Thai Bus Hostage Taking

“BIG MISTAKE TO CORRECT BIG WRONG DECISION” it is the statement released by the hostage taker just a while ago. A hostage taking that really denounces our nation and maybe not just by our nation but by the other nations especially those who have bigger concerns about it: the hongkong and Korean nationals.

I was really shock when I heard the news past 10 in the morning this day (August 23, 2010), at first I never thought it would be that vulnerable in results as everything in place seems to be in order. The suspect really does posting his wants that might have corresponding solutions and arraignments.

But I get very curious when it is already past 2 in the afternoon and the issue isn’t settled then, the hostage taker also post “Death Lock” after 3 p.m. but still conflict isn’t being resolved. Until Primetime news came up providing each details of the scene.

The issue grew more intensifying when the suspect’s brother was being caught as he is being accused as the accessory of the crime due to the information he is giving to the suspect whenever conversation through the phone comes and right after, the suspect lay several gun shots that really engross the crowd and then every scene is much awaited for future particulars that might come.

The suspect even releases some of the 25 hostages earlier whenever his wants is being granted. But then the scene comes to the point that there are shoot ups by his gun which is known as M-16 in nature. The Driver of the bus suddenly escapes and tells them that no one is alive inside the bus, but then… the crowd doesn’t want to conform with this statement unless verified.

Until the Suspect was shot, and then hostages were rescued, unfortunately not all of the 15 remaining are all alive.

It’s surely a very traumatic experience for those victims but it’s also a very traumatic experience for our own nation. How to deal with the states affected? our tourism? Other nations impression? I can understand why does the government did not comply with the victims possession, credibility parse. A head of state shouldn’t be that weak to be petrified with this issue.

Now as I was updated. 6 hostages were released before the real shoot out. 2 were alive after the shoot out and 4 are confirmed dead.

The action is clearly wrong as perhaps the statement of the suspect: BIG MISTAKE TO CORRECT BIG WRONG DECISION… now, can he say what happened with his big mistake (Hostage taking)? does it correct the big wrong decision (His compulsory retirement)? A big NO right? Because it only put up things worse than the wrong decision he is uttering, but it only results worse things than his mistaken acts.
A mistake shouldn’t always be accompanied by another mistake.
We people should learn.

Please Pray for the Victims of this tragedy.
