Two Questions on the Stampede of February 4

I have learned two things in the past few days:

  • The Calibrated Preemptive Response (CPR) is only applied to anti-Arroyo rallies.
  • The government can finish investigations as fast as it want it to.

Questions:

  • They say people began camping at ULTRA Monday, January 30, 2006. A lot of people were there, in a public street. Why didn’t the police apply CPR?
  • If it can finish investigations in 72 hours, how come it takes the government years to solve other crimes, specially corruption?

Also: Pinoys love being in the cameras. And giving them the mike will give them heaven. However, they shoot before they think. Evidence: Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez and Interior Undersecretary Marius Corpus.

Atty. Lambino to Cito Beltran’s Straight Talk: We are all at fault. I agree.
