Reason why you would further hate this rapist

Before we begin to show viral memes of Cavaliers and Warriors, we would like to emphasize the amazing performance of Lebron James and Kyrie Irving who shut all bandwagon fans in every play from start to finish. At the end of game 7, GS fans were silenced by the visiting team. The whole gang of Cleveland successfully put the entire Warriors fans in the corner and left them quite until they exited the arena.

It was such a beautiful game. Watching two aggresive teams imposing their game plays on the court was really killing me. Though, none of us here are loyal fans of Cavaliers but we chose them over the Warriors team because of their unique chemistry in the team and their incomparable spirit in winning the championships ring.

A poor police in Negros Occidental was reportedly used as live target during a shooting practice at a fire range last May 19, 2016. The victim had to grip a balloon in between his legs and let a high-ranking police officer beam his M-16 rifle at it. The cop, however, was critically hit by a live bullet on his foot when the official missed his target.

A concerned netizen named Jun Ledisma uploaded a 22-second video on Facebook to show the actual footage. The live target who was identified as PO1 Marvin Gustilo is seen in the video extending both of his arms sideways while a white big balloon is placed in between his legs. 

During the first attempt of the suspect identified as Victorias City police chief Supt. Frederick Mead, loud applause can be heard from the background hinting that Mead hit the right spot. The second try, however, didn't make it to the balloon. The chief of police in Negros Occidental missed his target and hit the foot of PO1 Gustilo causing the victim to fall on his knees.

The local crime operatives conducted their investigation and the initial result purportedly showed zero negligence on the part of Frederick Mead. In addition, the document allegedly indicated that it was purely accident.

Metro Manila Development Authority(MMDA) officers are infamous for extortion along EDSA-victimizing helpless drivers, but this story will surely change your expectations to these traffic enforcers. A motorist who encountered these men even said on Facebook, "not all angels have wings" when he narrated his experience with the MMDA traffic enforcers. 

J.P. Mercado, in a lengthy post on social media, admitted that he is not familiar in engine mechanics but he can drive a car. Unexpectedly, his dreaded horror occurred on the street early Monday of June 20, 2016 at the middle of Katipunan Avenue. He was already close to his house but his car stalled for some reasons he couldn't identify.

He tried to stay cool and relax while waiting for some good Samaritan to help him fix his car. In no time, he started to panic since he noticed that the drivers following him were already agitated. Some honked their horns with signs of being irritated due to the fact that he was blocking the traffic flow.

To further elaborate the next series of events, here's the detailed post of Mercado.

I was at the Ateneo Gate 3 intersection, and I was a sitting duck. I watched the stoplight change colors helplessly as cars and trucks honked at me and switched lanes with almost audible irritation, despite my hazard lights being on.

All my dashboard’s indicator lights would light up when I’d try to start the car too. I wasn’t sure what was wrong. Maybe my week-old battery was faulty? What was that smell? At this unholy hour, I prayed aloud, asking for my car to start and get me to the closest gas station, which was the Petron at the C.P. Garcia intersection, just around half a kilometer away.

What was he looking for?

I kept looking around for MMDA officers. I knew that once they spotted me, it was game over.

Sure enough, after around 10 minutes of fretting, and an incoherent call to Motolite’s hotline, I saw MMDA officers on the other side of the road.
They were coming for me.

Wishing for the best

I felt that I was in serious trouble, and I accepted my fate as I watched the MMDA officers get off their bikes.

All my fears, however, melted away as soon as one of the officers gave me the friendliest smile one could ever hope for at that time of night and said, with a concerned and consoling laugh, “Sir, ano pong nangyari?”

Signs of Relief

I told them how the car stalled, while confessing that I knew nothing about cars, and so they asked me to open up my car’s hood to see what was wrong.

When we opened it up—which I should have done in the first place—, we discovered that my car’s radiator cap had popped off, probably because it wasn’t screwed on properly, they surmised. So it definitely WASN’T the battery.

They asked if I had bottled water with me. I remembered that I didn’t get to replace it the last time—which I also should have done—, but I told them that there was a 7-Eleven just across from where we were.

Angels pushing the car to get it fixed Before I knew it, two of them were pushing my car from behind as I steered with the engine off and the car set to neutral, and the others blocked incoming traffic as we made our way left, crossing the intersection. I dashed inside 7-Eleven and got a 6-liter water bottle. They were all still there as I... Read Motorist to MMDA officers, "Not All Angels Have Wings"
