If this has not been brought up here, I will do it. In the Philippines, this news is what everyone is talking about. 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.
A whistleblower says there were more than 100 that were killed. The prime suspect is Atong Ang, a businessman and a major player in the gambling industry. His team denies all accusations and says to be filing a case against the one accusing the businessman. It has even been said that some corrupt police men were involved in the abduction and killing of gamblers.
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.
I thought games were supposed to be fun not minding whether or not cheating is involved, yeah, it's not good to cheat since the game could be someone business and means of livelihood, but then, this does not warrant that life, and I mean precious lives will have to for it, this is barbaric and should be highly condemned.
I would personally urge the government of the country to take up this case and treat it as a very serious one, send qualified and well talented investigative officers into the case and let them not only investigate what happened, but also bring the offender forward to face the law, atrocities like this shouldn't be allowed in our cities where some group of humans have no value or place zero value to or on other human lives..
Rest in peace to those who were killed and hope their families will have to fortitude to bear the loss.
