Speaking before reporters on Sunday, August 27, the man identified as Willy Gonzales aired his side after the video of him went viral, insisting that there was more to the story than what was caught on camera. Gonzales, however, did not discuss the details during the 10-minute press conference organized by the Quezon City Police District (QCPD). He also did not categorically apologize to the cyclist.

Parang gago lang no.. Ano tingin mo sa ginawa mo? Gagawin ba yun ng matinong tao??

[–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Kupal nga eh, unprovoked pa ang paglabas ng baril.

[–] starscar12@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Of course PNP is willing to organize a presscon for Gonzalez, considering that he is a retired cop.

Sa kaban ng bayan ba na naman kinuha ang pinanggastos sa presscon? Wow, pwede idefund?

jumped out ready to shoot, just couldn't get his flabby gut out of the way quickly enough to draw his piece.

Thanks for sharing video, iba talaga feeling ng mga tao pag may armas sila, they feel too powerful.

Si Willy Gonzalez ay namalo at naglabas ng baril laban sa isang nagbibisikleta na walang physical harm na ginawa sa kanya.

Gagawin ba yun ng isang disenteng tao?

β€œParang ang sama-sama kong tao.” Hindi naman Hitler level, pero parang masamang tao ka nga, Manong.

All cops are bastards, even the retired ones

Biker got threatened and paid 500p. Person who posted now also threatened. Thats just rage inducing. Then again we don't really know what the whole story is. But one thing is for sure the person in the red car needs his license to carry revoked or does he even have one? His a ticking timebomb he will likely kill someone eventually.

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He's apparently a former cop, and those guys have a license to carry by default. Alam ko kasi mahirap (bordering on impossible) makakuha permit to carry if you're an ordinary citizen.

But his gun ownership should be stripped talaga if instances like this he thinks it's warranted to pull one already. Nabatukan niya nga yung cyclist na walang kahirap hirap e.

I'm so stupid...

why the fuck would someone draw a gun on someone?

[–] cottonmon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Powertripping. The guy is clearly an asshole used to using his gun to get his way. After all, lalaban ka ba pag may naglabas ng baril? Pulis pa siya, sanay na yan pumatay.

I too was thinking,what a skilled artist,being able to create a gun on a moving cyclist.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

For a us gun person, not drawing it would be a waste of a perfectly good gun.

At least I suppose that's how those people think.
