Several gamblers were abducted and have been missing since. It has been only revealed that those missing gamblers were really killed after they were caught cheating in cockfighting.
All this happens and people doubt the fact that most gamblers could lose their minds and get indulge in sinister activities as a result of that? Someone cheats in a cockfight (which, I don't even know how that's possible) then your next line of action is to abduct and take their lives? Unbelievable!
Some people really hate to be wronged (even if that could be mere assumption and not a fact) and will go to any way to take that revenge.
Issuing a bounty on a whistleblower of a gambling business is surprising. If corrupt people can get away with this, can the public still trust them for something as simple as extending their driver's license, for example?
Where corruption rules, money is the king. I live in third world, you can get driving license itself without knowing how to drive, or knowing driving rules.
