Foreigners fight over Filipina

[mogo51]

Thank god for the British judicial system.  I thought it was complicated, but now that the Philippines has got hold of Spanish/US  laws (I assume), they have certainly given it a good massage.  I have not read the Crimes Act for Philippines, but did when I was in Thailand and it was nearly as crazy.

A sensible and mostly used over the world system, is that if a person causes the death of another, then it is murder.  There may be extraneous circumstances that may cause the charge to be lowered to Manslaughter or Negligent Act causing death.  

But where there is  an incident such as this (only relying on the reported circumstances), then the correct charge would be murder.  If the defense can prove provocation  in mitigation, there may be a reduction to Manslaughter - but I doubt it in these circumstances.  He has apparently gone there armed with intent and carried it out!

The only problem with a murder charge is that the victim is still alive... at least he was still alive when the incident was first reported.

No problems, I read it as he was dead. But just add attempt before murder and problem solved.  This depends upon what the offender says during the interview or if he opened his mouth  in front of others at the scene.

The word "( some nationality )" is changed automatically because a member complains about ( some nationality ) jokes. The word filter can not be set for individual forums so if anyone uses that word it gets changed forum wide. 

Why is he ashamed of his "( some nationality )" roots.I for sure am not.

This is where it starts, and the joker did not realize that some folk dont see the joke.

You may be surprised to find out that they are.  There is a limited supply and when guys from all over the world are clamoring to meet them online, and when these guys are all competing for the brightest and cutest top 10%, then the girls often find themselves having to do double duty to keep all the guys happy

Only for now as soon there will be a new generation of Filipina/some other nationality girls as seen in the winners of the Miss Universe and Asian Top Model pageants, even more beautiful than pure Filipinas.
