Uneventful Day - G2 Blast

The other day was my birthday and it was, personally, a pretty uneventful day for me. Woke up in the morning, had breakfast at Rodic's with a friend who was staying over, did some groceries for the lunch i promised to prepare for the office (sundried tomato pesto on angel hair pasta) and then cooked those groceries.

It was a pretty uneventful day...until they bombed (?) Gloreitta 2. Thus, that day will be forever known as "The day G2 got bombed," not a happy thought.

I haven't been listening to the news for the last couple of days, but apparently there is now a 3-M bounty for the damn bomber.Of course we hear the predictable interpretations of both sides. Government saying it's a terrorist job, and the opposition saying it's just a diversionary tactic and a prelude to martial law.

Regardless whoever may have done it one thing is clear for now, based on the Human Security Act, the bombing of G2 is technically not an act of terrorism. Why? simply because there has been no unlawful demand as of yet. So if they file the charge, well, it should be dismissed because there's no demand.

With this example, we see the inefficiency and shortcomings of the law to really protect the masses from terrorism. We also see why conspiracy to commit terrorism is all the more stupid. Since terrorism is obviously a crime of result, you cannot convict a person of the crime of terrorism unless you get all the results that you want -- unlike in murder or homicide, the only thing you have to make sure there is that the person died. In terrorism, there are still a lot of elements which would have to be proved. Unless the act brings about the intended results, there is no terrorism.

Anyway, i'm really getting sick and tired of people who have claimed innocent civilian lives just for making a "statement". Don't they get it? The people you're complaining about were born dense and evil. What makes you think their conscience would still allow them to make a drastic change in government if you do these things? And if government really does these things, how much power and money do you want to say "enough"? You're like King Midas. I hope you turn into gold so you can just sink.
