Singapore Army Officer: God Inflicted Earthquake on Japan for a Reason(?)

According to a report by Yahoo News, an officer (it appears that he is an instructor in SAF's Officer Cadet School, or OCS) of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) who calls himself Shahril Beckham (well obviously a Manchester United FC fan who couldn't let go of the past, Beckham that is) posted on his Facebook profile page that "There is a reason why God chose Japan...". Well if he was hoping for some response, he got much more than he hoped for. Starting out all cocky and with his head and shoulders above cloud #9 (well, which young SAF officer isn't?), it ended up with him issuing an apology...

I shall save myself from more typing and let you read for yourself...

And then his fan-girl friend Zafirah Eleanor comes in to stir the shit-pot further... it appears that she has taken down her FB page, but oh zaffy zaffy zaffy zaffy....
Still not satisfied and not happy with people who felt his comments were in bad taste, Shahril Beckham returns with fully-loaded twin guns-a-blazing... full auto mode....
Time to switch target, the more the merrier, bring them on!
God knows what happened but suddenly Mr. Beckham took out his heart frozen in the freezer to thaw it, well who knows, maybe to feed his dogs later....
His supporter Andre Kua provided cover fire during Shahril Beckham's hasty retreat, and some much needed ammunitions...
All this talk about Karma getting back at Japan for their WWII atrocities, etc is, well, to each his own. Why not throw in more, like their merciless plundering and killing of whales and such?! Inevitably, some people will never forgive, and never forget. If it is really about bad Karma, well, Earthquakes and Hurricanes, etc, are indeed acts of God. And the Biblical God is indeed a fearsome one, for those who believe in him, he lets things happen for a reason. And his vengeance does involves generations after generations, and in cataclysmic proportions, too. So now we are going down the road of Katrina, Chile, Christchurch, and now Japan? Is this some mind-blowing Karma? Or some End of The World scenarios as revealed in the Book of Revelations? Dizzy yet?

While his initial comments were not entirely wrong and was left pretty open ended for people to derive and conclude what they want for themselves and was more like a harmless opinion (as compared to some of the comments on others' Facebook profile! see end of post), it's his and his girl-friend's cocky replies to the responses that did him in. Apparently even his own trainee Ghani spoke up against him. (correction: Ghani, a combat medic, was not his trainee but just an acquaintance) And to make it worse was his comments on how his salary is being paid by the money of 'stoopid' Singapore taxpayers. Looking at the contrasting attitude in his subdued response, I think SAF might have took action after being tipped-off. Update: Mindef did reply to those who sent in email 'feedback and enquiries' but it was just a generic reply in point form. Click here to see it.

IMHO, I do not think he should be fit to remain on a payroll which is paid by 'stoopid' and hardworking Singaporean Taxpayers' money now, should he? Singapore, what is your next move?

Driver tries to kill cyclists in Critical Mass Porto Alegre, Brazil



This crazy incident happened in Critical Mass, Porto Alegre, Brazil on 25th February 2011.

A murderous driver, probably not happy with the fact that this mass of cyclist are taking up the entire stretch of road, drove at high speed and swept through the entire procession, knocking down all the cyclists who were in his path. The impacts were so forceful that many of the cyclists landed on the black Volkswagen Golf's windscreen before falling, luckily, to the side of the vehicle.

Many were injured, but according to reports, no fatalities were recorded. It is not yet known what his intentions were in doing such a crazy act. But in my book, when someone is driving such a powerful vehicle and running people down intentionally, well the intent to kill and maim was there, and that person should be charged for multiple attempts at murder.

But the sad thing is, there are actually similarly moronic individuals who agree to the lunatic's action and even applauded his action!? Well wait till someone they hold dear suffer a similar fate under the hands of another lunatic, and it will be interesting to see what they have to say then.

You can see some of the comments in the YouTube video page.
