MUGGING across the Boarding House!

Tweet

Last night, I was having my dinner (banana and fresh lumpia) in the cafeteria downstairs when something tragic happened just across the boarding house. My back was actually at the window since I was watching the news on TV when a commotion behind me got my attention. I realized I have been glued to the news that I didn't notice people from the cafeteria were already running outside to join the other onlookers. Then I saw two crumpled figures crying and screaming like they're in agony. I was frantic and stood up as well but I just approached the window, I didn't come out because there are too many people outside already. Well, the convenience store was mugged. A fat guy came in with a gun and took that day's cash in the register along with their mobile phones for reloading. A gun! That must have scared them! I remember I almost got myself killed when I was mugged last April because I would have wanted to put a fight. The b@st@rd took my phone (my expensive 3G phone!) while holding a knife at my side. Now this happened to these ladies, and with a gunman! I felt bad for them. Poor ladies... It isn't much help that the NaPolCom's office is just a stone throw away nor the fact that we're located within the Cathedral vicinity where it's really crowded. And it was not that late, more like 7PM! Have you ever witness or even experienced mugging yourself? Did you freeze to death? Did you fight back? Were you ever given justice? Well, I didn't get my phone back... Shucks!
