While
in a huddle with some politicians,TV reporter, radio commentators, and a priest
who came to me and introduced himself that he reads my blog, I told them my
apprehension how nerve wracking to the people in Luzon and Visayas in case a
Muslim suicide bomber gets inside the huge Catholics’ Redemtionist Church in
Baclaran, Pasay City, the Saint Therese Church in Dagupan City, or those
churches in Cebu City.
“Can
you see the psychological effect to people in Luzon or in the Visayas in case a
human clad with a vest of 10 to 20 kilograms of TNT and shrapnel blows
himself just to kill dozens if not hundreds of parishioners,” I
opined.
My
remarked was anchored on the television news recently that an Indonesian
spouses blew themselves and killed 23 people in and out of the Mt. Carmel
Cathedral in Jolo, Sulu and maimed and wounded 100 others mostly Christians,
civilians and soldiers supposedly well-cordoned ala Israeli security blanket
Catholic church.
BOMBER - A feature of a suicide bomber with his lethal 5 to 20 kilograms of explosives. A packed vest or belt is armed with a detonator. The vest is usually packed with ball bearings, nails, screws, bolts, and other objects that serve as shrapnel to maximize the number of casualties in the explosion. (Photo grab from the internet) |
Between
1981 and September 2015, a total of 4,814 suicide attacks occurred in over 40
countries killing over 45,000 people, according to Chicago Project on
Security and Terrorism (2016). During this time the global rate of such attacks
grew from an average of three a year in the 1980s, to about one a month in the
1990s, to almost once a week from 2001 to 2003 (the Moral Logic and Growth of
Suicide Terrorism) to approximately one a day from 2003 to 2015
This
is another kind of warfare much different to the wars I saw and heard when I
was a kid growing up in the 1970s with my soldier father in Cotabato and the
latest urban warfare where the labyrinth of buildings, tunnels, and other mode
resorted by the Maute group versus the state troopers in the devastated Marawi
City.
These
suicide freaks, especially the male Muslims, are motivated with the 72 virgins
supposedly gift, by golly, from Allah in heaven where many of them want to be a
martyr.
In
their mind this gruesome death that “annihilate” those heretic Christians
around them will reward them with six - dozen of these virgins who
probably look like South African and American actresses Charlize Theron
(present GF of Brad Pitt) and Filipino “looker” Carla Abellana to copulate.
Son of
a gun, if I will be a Muslim I will rather die a coward than indulge to sex
with these 72 virgins.
I fear dying in exhaustion since copulation as a condition should be done Till Kingdom Come or forever with a little exception "ihi lang ang pahinga".
I fear dying in exhaustion since copulation as a condition should be done Till Kingdom Come or forever with a little exception "ihi lang ang pahinga".
I
dread to die in heaven like that stroke victim’s septuagenarian mayor in
Pangasinan who was found by cops and funeral parlor attendants lifeless and
naked in prostrate position against his very young mestiza but hysterical naked
secretary at a motel in one of the cities of my province.
Suicide
bombing is different and more lethal than those modern marvels’ weapons and
gadgets I saw at the 2018 Asian Defence and Security (ADAS) Trade Show at the
World Trade Center in Pasay City like the ReTWis (I
will write a news on that interview later with the Czech
top honchos) that becomes passé’ eventhough the venue was in Pasay.
The
ReTWis, according to one of them, is a unique small portable radar detecting
living entities behind a wall or non-metallic barrier.
An innovation against those Islamist radicals who hide in the buildings as they wage their wars ala those in Iraq and Chechnya in Russia.

Can we
prevent this looming human bombing mayhem?
Here
are some answers I read from New York Times titled “Preventing Suicide
Bombing” and bylined in 2005 by Paul Tough.
One of
the measures, according to Edward H. Kaplan, a professor of public health at
Yale, was to heroically hug the bomber so both of the would be victim and the
bad guy die in the explosion but will save the people around.
Damn,
I will not do it since I still have a lot of things to write and expose for my
beloved Filipino Nation especially against the greedy
Pinoy senators who sold their souls to the oligarchs in the name
of 60%-40% business equity that created a huge number of poorer Filipinos.
I will
probably run as fast, and jumped just like over our 5 feet gate, as my father
chased me when I was in high school with a tabas or panabas (a
large, forward-curved sword or battle axe machete used by Muslim
Maguindanaons) after I, intoxicated with tuba (coconut wine), threw stones at
our house in Mindanao as my grievances to my ram rod soldier father, a
Korean War Vet, who punches me whenever I went home drank with Tanduay.
I digress again, salamabit!
I digress again, salamabit!
Kaplan
collaborated my thesis in not hugging the bomber. The measures, he said, that I
summarized from the article’s “Preventing Suicide Bombing” in the
New York Times by lined by Paul Tough in 2005.
He
pointed out, these physics create an unusual moral dilemma. If you suddenly
find yourself next to a suicide bomber about to set off his charge, there is
what he calls "a huge conflict between what's best for you as an
individual and what's best for the group." Soon after his paper was
published, Kaplan came across one blogger who had read about his research and
concluded that the heroic thing to do in that situation would be to approach
the bomber and hug him or her, sacrificing yourself but saving the lives of
many people behind you.
“Not
surprisingly, homeland security experts are still looking for other
neutralization techniques, ones that don't involve hugging. And here there is
another divide in the field. The association of police chiefs in the United
States recommended that police on the scene simply shoot suspected bombers in
the head,” Tough
cited.
But
Chaim Koppel, one of International Security & Defence Systems
trainers, explained that it is extremely difficult to shoot someone in the head
perfectly, and added that a shot to the head could in fact set off a suicide
bomb as the bomber has his finger the detonator.
Koppel
said there are other techniques to disarm a bomber, though, that don't involve
guns. A company called International Security Defense Systems in Dallas, Texas
offers antiterrorist advice to airlines and airports and employs several former
high-ranking members of the Israeli security services. Koppel and his
colleagues instead teach an array of moves based on Krav Maga, the self-defense
martial art used by Israeli soldiers, that would disarm but not kill a
potential bomber.
He
explained that If a person is behind a bomber the best thing to do is grab him
around the shins (part of the lower legs), lift up and push forward.
“The
bomber will instinctively use his hands to block his fall. Once his hands are
away from the trigger of his bomb, you grab them. If you are facing a bomber head-on,
you use a different move, one that basically amounts to punching the bomber in
the face and grabbing his hands. Violent, but certainly not deadly. And if you
get the wrong person, as the London police did, you don't have a corpse on your
hands,” he
stressed.
Koppel's
colleague Clive Miskin quipped: "You brush his coat off and say
you're sorry”.

The only answer to that is arm yourselves. Buy a gun or two, or three. Load up. And you're all good. That's how simple it is. And don't tell me you can't afford, because we all can.
