Jason Ivler and Andal Ampatuan, Jr. could have been the best of friends if they grew up together, attended the same school, or grew up in the same place. If they did, I'm certain they would be bragging and comparing notes about each other's killing sprees and murderous rampages. Fortunately, they are miles apart, literally, and in their respective social stratum and personality. Jason is clean-cut, clear-skinned, and yuppie-ish, a sharp contrast to Andal's dishevelled, oily, pockmarked, and unkempt appearance. Unfortunately for them, they are missing out on the camaraderie that would have terrorized a lot of people. Which is fortunate for us, I suppose.
Fortunately as well, both are behind bars, and this assuages somewhat those they have wronged. Unfortunately in this country, putting a criminal behind bars does not at all guarantee that justice will be obtained. Criminals' lawyers may be fortunate to come upon and take advantage of legal loopholes, and consequently spring their clients to freedom. Something like this is very unfortunate for those who seek redress.
Unfortunately, life is famous for its ugliness of having too many injustices. Fortunately, there is a Heaven and a Hell, and those denied justice in this life will be rewarded with an eternal form of it in the former, or so we were taught.
Now, Jason and Andal are, fortunately, both headed straight to Hell. However, in the event that they genuinely repent and perform acts of contrition, we may, if we are fortunate enough to end up in Heaven, unfortunately find these two angels there.
