But
what ever the reason of Pemberton; it is
not right to kill someone although he got angry because Laude didn’t disclose
that she was just a transgender. If he didn’t like Laude; all he could do is to
escape from him. But of course, we don’t know what’s going on the mind of
Pemberton during that time. All we knew that he was under the influence of
alcohol. There was a tendency that it was provoked him to do such a monstrous
act. The LGBT community called this as ‘hate crime’ against their rank.
The German boyfriend of Laude
already visited to the funeral of his fiancee. The public admired him because
he still love Laude although he came with other guy in the motel. The couple
has a plan to get married in Germany soon. But unfortunately, Laude died in the
hands of American soldier. The boyfriend is also seeking justice for Laude.
Now,
there is a debate between pro-American and anti-American groups if the Visiting
Forces Agreement should be abolished. For anti-American groups; history just repeat
itself. It still fresh in our mind what happened to Nicole, he was raped by
American soldier Daniel Smith. But in the end Smith was just gained his freedom
from that crime. And now, it seems that the justice is vague to attain it.
There is an issue about who have the custody for Pemberton. Is it the
Philiippine government or the US government? Until now the US military doesn’t
want to show off Pemberton. There is also a report that the American soldiers
served as witness was already fled in the country.
Of
course, P-Noy and some of his allied don’t want to abolish the VFA. They said
that we gain benefits from this agreement. So, why we should abolish it? It is
very clear that there was a crime happened which committed by one of their
soldiers, so they will investigate it until they get justice for Laude.
