One year after: The Quirino hostage-taking incident

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Quirino hostage-taking bloodbath. Over lunch, we were talking about how inefficient the approach to that disaster was. I made some mental notes on our discussion:

1. They threw a tear-gas inside the bus, entered immediately without even wearing a mask, and went out a few seconds after. Crying (out loud).
2. They tried to break the windows without even checking if they would be able to, ahmmm, break them. Without having access to the bus's blueprint, I can immediately assume that the windows are either fiberglass-made or at the very least, shatter-proof. It's a tourist bus, for effin's sake. 
3. They tried to open the door without even thinking of the physics behind the built of the door. 
4. The national government is nowhere to be found. There were foreign nationals inside the bus, and it should be a national government take by default.
5. The sharp shooters aren't sharp shooters at all. Why did we even hear more than two bullet shots from the "good" camp when they are really sharp shooters? They are not really that far away from the bus. They'd do us more good if they would just replace their high-caliber guns and ammunitions with archery supplies. 

Hay... I can only hope this won't happen again.
