I read the same story. I think it was yesterdays paper though. One was shot in Manila which is Scotts story and one was shot dead in Mandaue Cebu after not presenting a pass but pulled a gun instead. He then was followed home and the Police came. Then it got worse as he came out of the house with a 10 year old child as a hostage. He released the child and started shooting at police who shot him dead.

The thing is, i had stolen it from someone else on FB, I wonder how they didn't get banned. Facebook and their so-called 'Community Standards', are truly hypocritical and pathetic. If I hadn't become so dependent upon their site myself, I'd happily see it buried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have given me a reprieve because today I’m able to post again, my sister signed me up back in 2008, and I was the one who said I never would after reading an article about Zuckerberg and it’s beginnings, and like you I have so many connections now that I can’t pull the plug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnMyWay Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Seems like some of you have a fairly mild lockdown with no enforcement. You should follow the rules even if some of them may not make sense to you. We are not allowed to walk or exercise out in our neighborhood, and it is enforced by the roving security guards. Same for wearing masks 100% of the time. One person out for essential errands is also enforced along with the quarantine pass. You can not exit the neighborhood without the pass, in theory. For the most part, the residents are behind the restrictions once they are in place. They may argue the merits in the beginning but once in place, they support. SBMA (Subic Bay Government) posts news in our community Facebook groups, and it is debated. In a few instances, the rules are modified due to the feedback. However, I would venture that we probably have the most strict rules, mainly because we have a unique situation that allows strict enforcement. That situation is that we have a large number of private security guards who have been tasked with enforcing lockdown rules. There is a guy living in the area who I may have mentioned before. He is an a**hole and has almost been banned from the FB groups a few times. Many of his posts are rants about the inability of local stores to keep beer in stock, and filled with derogatory remarks towards Filipinos. Last night he posted a rant about going to the mall and some of the anti-virus procedures. Rather than re-write it, I will paste it here. You can see how the neighbors reacted to one aspect of his post. His post ++++++++++++++ Yesterday, as we were leaving the house to go Harbor Point, I said to my gf, "Things are getting so ridiculous with over-reactions and useless steps to prevent COVID-19. They are now making you walk through disinfectant to get COVID-19 off of your shoes. Next thing you know, they will be disinfecting automobile tires, in case you ran over it on the road. Simply ridiculous measures, and a waste of money." Sure enough, when we got to Harbor Point, wouldn't you know it? A security guard sprayed some goop on my tires! I have no idea what he was spraying, but I guarantee he did not kill a single cell of COVID-19. I asked him if he'd mind washing the windows, because that actually would contribute to our safety. He passed... I will be glad when this thing runs its course and the insanity stops. I'm not minimizing the impact of the virus, but many of these so-called prevative measures are just a waste of money and effort, for the illusion of prevention. It is about as effective as cheating during a game of Solitaire. ++++++++++++ Comments In the second screenshot, the resident tags Abe Conner, the chairwoman of SBMA. There are more. This is the first batch. ============ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Tommy T. Posted April 6, 2020 Forum Support Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Sad to see... But there are always a few like that... It seems to be part of human nature... An air force buddy of mine (a bomber plane crew member during WWII) told me that his drill sergeant told his crew that there is always about 10% who are out of step... Sound familiar?
