That's one thing I like about the justice system here. Even after a suspect is in police custody. If the crime warranted it you are allowed to get a good slap or punch in with no repercussions from said police. For instance my neighbors daughter in Pampanga was accosted by a rugby boy (glue sniffer addict) and subsequently arrested by the barangay police for molesting the girl (about 7-8 y/o), her Mom and brother all got to take a good swipe at the kid and then all the neighbors also joined in the fun. The kid took quite a beating before he made it to the police headquarters and actually once there they had him handcuffed to the back of the police vehicle and let all the bystanders have a go at him too. By that time there was quite a crowd and the police figured let the people vent their frustrations on him so they get it out and their systems so the police don't have to deal with a riot and just let it happen (they also were laughing and appeared to really enjoy the spectacle). Darnedest thing I ever saw.. I just watched amazed at how justice here is served in the PI.

 

I'm a center mass guy myself, saves on both court fees and hospital bills. My guess was he was not aiming at arms and legs, just what he happened to hit. I was cringing while reading expecting to see bystanders hit. I am glad they were not (unless the wonderfully detailed and informative reporter forgot that part).

 

Come on Dave, if this had been your daughter this happened to, what would you Do?
