melthebell Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 A robbery in which he set the place alight, stole only casino chips, then went into a room and immolated himself?? thats what it said on the headline at 5.50 on sky news this morning. then the main bit about it explained the taking of the chips, the burning of tables, the shooting of tvs and the burning of himself Oo certainly very strange robbery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The news were saying the Philippine authorities are adamant it was a robbery, I'm thinking they are saying anything to prevent it being labelled as a terrorist attack. I don't think it was either, seems like the guy was off his nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it was either, seems like the guy was off his nut. As is the norm for 90% of these attacks. Duerte is not keen on the terrorist label so creates his own label, which, oddly, seems a lot smarter than what we tend to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
