In order to exact justice, stop the BBL.

Elnore:

Dapat talaga sini-censored yan. Napakalupit naman ng mga nag-video pa niyan.

D_BystandeR: (to Elnore):

It is not the people recording the video that you should condemn but the people doing the brutal slaying of the SAF troopers. You should even cite them for their courageous effort in risking their lives to record it. What if the lawless elements, knowing they were being covered by a video recorder, would in turn train their guns on them to kill them? Without their heroic effort to do it we would never have any idea how the SAF members were mercilessly killed.

Ernie Penas:

On what grounds does the NBI have the right to confiscate those DVDs? Those  are not exactly pirated copies of copy-righted movies. The public has the right to know what happened if this DVD shows the savagery of the MILF, then let the public see it. The truth always has a way of coming out. Repressing it will only whet the people's appetite.

pickers1368:

Could you tell that with a straight face to the families of the fallen 44? OK, why not ask them to watch the video or perhaps narrate to them what you have seen? Perhaps you will have the sense of satisfaction.

Ernie Penas - (to pickers1368):

They don't have to see it, if they don't want to. This applies to everybody. It's called "free will."

D_BystandeR: - (to Ernie Penas):

You got the point there. I think the order to confiscate the DVDs depicting the brutal way the SAF troopers were killed came from DOJ Sec. De Lima because NBI falls under her jurisdiction in DOJ. You should know that De Lima is now acting as part of the "spin control" to diffuse the people's anger against P-Noy with the way he put the precious lives of our SAF members in harm's way. And the unbelievably unacceptable reaction P-Noy exhibited himself that instead of being uncontrollably overwhelmed by his emotion upon learning the deaths of our soldiers, he was a picture of somebody who was unaffectedly indifferent, and cold, and he even asked the people to "be calm," because he values more the recovery of the peace process about the BBL, not to be greatly affected by that explosive event, instead of fighting for the real justice of our soldiers' death in the hands of the MILF. Whatever P-Noy's late reaction telling the people he wants justice for the soldiers could only be interpreted as part of the "damage control" the administration is helplessly trying to do to appease the people's wrath!
