GUNNEDdown.

It is a sad day for the office where my kid brother works. Yesterday evening, my brother messaged me that one of his office-mates was gunned down right in front of their house. the suspects? Riding-in-tandem. According to my brother, the man is just 25 years young, and a good man. My brother invited him for some drink with bottles of beer (Red Horse) but the man nixed the offer and reasoned out that he has something to do in their house. My brother made a very heartbreaking status post in his wall on Facebook, lamenting that the man is too young to be his kid. This is the peace and order here in our city, or in our country. The news always have headlines of crime, drugs, rape, and other instances of violence. “Be safe, everyone” was the last statement my brother concluded in his status post. Let us all be safe.

This is really bad news. If such violence happens frequently, the government should really take measures.

our president should act swiftly and even us citizens. there are new directives being done now, like curfew at 10PM.

the deceased was a graduate of St. Paul University. he was so young to die. maybe, his soul won't be at peace and keep on wandering.

I am so sorry, he was too young to die. It is so sad when the crime and violence become the daily routine.

@LadyDuck yes, and i hope these suspects, once identified by first-hand witnesses, should be shoot-to-kill ordered by the police chief here in my city; same goes to the killers of the priest that i made a discussion about before.

@ridingbet Those people must be eliminated, because they are a danger for the society.

yes, and world peace would be everywhere even in other countries. when Bin Laden was killed, we thought the world is a better place to live in but on the contrary, it is not YET.
