I hope you are wrong too. (not for the sake of you being wrong ) I hope it was just a robbery attempt gone bad. The sad thing is that I think there is a strong possibility that there will be terrorist attacks in Manila. That's how terrorists work. They have some sad belief that by killing as many innocent people and getting as much media attention as possible it is somehow for the greater good and helping their cause. It is a disease that needs to be stomped out quickly whenever it shows itself.

 

Another sad fact is that in this day and age of instant communication globally, media outlets have even more of an obligation in getting out the facts when they report. Unfortunately news media has become opinion and entertainment all geared towards shock value and ratings.

If Duterte declared martial law in all of Philippines due to Isis, would that be good enough evidence for humanitarian expedition of spousal visa?

I kinda doubt that a lone robber who tried to rob a casino and then set himself on fire when he failed will cause Duterte to declare martial law, but what do I know?

One gunman, then he set himself on fire.   More people were injured jumping out windows from the 2nd floor then by the gunman. 

 

Just the same is does make a person a little edgy, and ... miss my "concealed"

As I said before, terrorists are out to kill innocent people. This guy had every opportunity to do that but didn't. He had also gathered millions in chips which is something robbers do, not terrorists.

Very sad indeed. It seems most died from smoke.

nothing say "I;ll show you" more than setting yourself on fire..

Why set yourself on fire? I can only think how much pain that is as opposed to a bullet in the head or at least jump out the window which is a quicker death.

I was 2 blocks away from Resort World when the Manila attack / robbery occurred.  It's my understanding Marshall law was declared for the Islamic extremist uprising in the southern islands.  Manila was a stand alone incident which Duterte declared 'friendly fire'.
