high times

it'd be real comedy if it wasn't a tragedy.

6 idiots held up a bus in Manila, as per this report in the Inquirer. their "well-laid" plans went awry, resulting in a chase up to the outskirts of Manila, after managing to shoot a few hostages (5 dead) and commandeering a vehicle to escape.

The suspects ... ordered at gunpoint the driver of the car to drive towards the North Luzon Expressway.

The car drove through the toll gates past the barricade while pursuing cops were delayed when NLEX toll keepers reportedly insisted that they pay the toll.


amazing. wow. i mean, wow. this only happens in cheaply-produced, badly-written Filipino comedies.

just to let this story have a semblance of a happy ending, the cops eventually caught up with them and 3 of the idiots were killed before the rest surrendered.

the cops should have also shot the stupid toll keepers. but that would be police brutality eh?

That's because cops always try to weasel out of paying anything.

"We're chasing criminals."

"Yeah, yeah. We've heard that one before. Pay up, weasel."
