Hostage Postscript

The report is out and people are facing criminal and administrative charges. What will become of it is anyone's guess. Of course the cynic in me says that charges have always been leveled but few have actually been punished. It seems that once the event becomes history, the charges die out along with the outrage.

Speaking of outrage, I was hoping China wouldn't be so charitable regarding the hostage taking. I figure, If the government doesn't want to listen to the citizens, maybe some indignation from a neighboring country will set it straight. Well that's not happening now that the Chinese ambassador said "lets move on". The good thing is that perhaps our OFWs in Hong Kong will feel a bit safer.
