I love these kids...

Don't make me kill them...

UPDATE: Children released unharmed
-- MANILA -- A man who took a busload of children and teachers hostage from his day care center in Manila Wednesday freed them after a 10-hour standoff that he used to denounce corruption and demand better lives for poor children.

Ducat and an unidentified second gunman taped a handwritten sheet of paper to the windshield, saying they were holding 32 children and two teachers and were armed with two grenades, an Uzi assault rifle and a .45 caliber pistol.
Now take away all his grenades and lock this crazy fucker up.

-- MANILA -- Gunmen hijacked a busload of day-care students and teachers and drove them to Manila's city hall Wednesday to demand better housing and education for the children.

The hostage-takers scribbled in large letters on a sheet of paper, taped to the windshield of the bus, that they were holding 32 children and two teachers and were armed with two grenades, an assault rifle and a pistol, officer Mark Andal said.

They said they were demanding improved housing and education for 145 children in a day-care centre in Manila's poor Tondo district where the incident appeared to have begun.

“I love these kids; that's why I am here,” one of the hostage-takers, identifying himself as Jun Ducat, told DZMM radio by cellphone.
What is it about hot, third world countries that makes so many people so crazy?
