‘Cowardly decision’

I feel dismayed and outraged by the cowardly decision of Judge Elmo Alameda who chose to side with the oppressors instead of the oppressed, in this case the vociferous critic whose only fault is that he has been made to enjoy, as a matter of fact, a life of liberty for more than 10 years as a former rebel.

For the life of me, I cannot imagine how the honorable judge can honestly say to his children and loved ones that it is the fault of Sen. Antonio Trillanes that his application forms for amnesty cannot be found and that, therefore, he should be arrested and deprived of freedom.

Dear God, have mercy on the oppressors!
