...Anyway, whoever is behind all this should be punished and I hope the victims get the justice they deserve. I do not condone cheating in gambling but is killing really the way? Let us pray for the victims.
Gambling industry is in some cases controlled by criminals (don't know if it is this case in Philippines) so it doesn't surprise me that they lost lives by trying to cheat on gambling. Killing of unarmed people is never justified but criminals don't choose their methods. Hope their families will find peace.
It's obvious that they cheated on a Mafia boss in that region, I wonder why anyone would even want to do that when they know the consequences, I'm not saying killing them was the best revenge but their are some silly mistakes people should make and if one is not capable of dealing with the consequences of their actions then they shouldn't carry out those actions for the first place. Anyways that's an illegal gambling activity and if it involves an organised crime group like I expect then such case could be thrashed since they're highly connected with the government, the only way the victims would get justice is if the government have been looking for strong evidence to bring down that particular group.
