So a defense force officer allegedly goes to government house, apparently unarmed. There are 6-8 officers stationed there and this marine allegedly sneaks in on them, steals one of their weapons, shoots up the place and kills a senior officer hitting him multiple times. The shooter escapes the compound unarmed and unharmed and none of the other officers receives injuries. The shooter then escapes. And what was all that action in the skies about that night? Who killed Sir Harry Oakes?
The new age of technology where persons may be doing something that is ‘normal ‘ like disciplining a child or the child may be having a ‘usual ‘ tantrum. A snippet of the activity is recorded and ‘shared’ with someone who is amused by it and decides to post it on Facebook. The video goes viral and the content mixed with public opinions and sentiment becomes overblown and begs for action on behalf of authorities. So now the public must think even whilst the adrenaline is flowing and the excitement is there. A picture or video leaving a cell phone, be it a smart one or a bubbler, is like a bullet leaving a gun. You cannot call it back and you can never be sure of the effect or the damage it can do. And common sense must prevail. Every incident does not have to be recorded and every incident that is recorded doesn’t have to be shared.
A suicide hotline is not a priority in light of increased suicides? Well motor bike! Like is is such a vast expense. All one needs is some volunteer pastors who are trained counselors. Give them cell phones and pay the bills (. Maybe even the two phone companies will sponsor the phones and service). And give them a monthly stipend.
When you have pea brain politicians and decision makers. Rather than be independent and make decisions, they wait to be dictated to or will always be the last man off the ship. In this modern age of information and technology you cannot be effective with that type of governance.
