^^Filipinos with whom I have spoken over the past days, from maids to the retired Generals who live down the street, believe that Pemberton killed him for reasons as yet unknown. If so, they believe he should pay, as do I.

There is disgust for the family lawyer's antics - across the board.

They want the Kraut gone - forever - but view him as a distracting sideshow.

There is far less sympathy for the family, or the dead guy, than I would have expected.

In general, their views are very similar to mine.

Regarding the fence climbing/assault incident, they believe the Sergeant acted with great restraint, as do I.

They applaud the Kraut being detained and charged, but want him gone soonest, as do I.
