Pics of the mini thugs who picked my pocket in Cebu two years ago.
[QUOTE=MrHombre; 1345937]The minimum age of criminal responsibility in the Phils is 15. 15! They can get away with robbery, assault and murder below that age. Worse, if you lay a hand on them, you are liable for arrest yourself. Advice I got from a Phils cop: keep your money, cards and cell phone in your front pockets, keep your hands in your front pockets and walk fast.
A lot of these kids work for older thugs, so just get the f*k away from them.[/QUOTE]All this little gang is obviously under 18, the pics were taken in a public place and the kids were well aware that I was taking them, actually posing in half the pics. So, hopefully them meet forum guidelines.
These kids ran up to me, mobbed me and picked my pocket of a few thousand pesos. Fortunately they missed the cell phone and credit cards. A couple of days later they tried again outside my hotel, but I recognized them, yelled at them, swung my umbrella before they were close. They ran away. Still another couple of days later they were on the stairs outside my hotel and I took a dozen pics of them. Geez, they must have so many 'customers' that they didn't recognize me, even on the third encounter. They actually posed, the shameless little devils!
