practical reality.....for how much longer...unless someone grabs the bull by the horns.
The authorities need to have a serious look at the overall Crime and Punishment as it exists on a small island , wid the key words small island.......Crime just seems to pay or gone limp one looks at the way the justice system operates....hundreds or thousands of cases backlogged..?????.......where it appears it seems persons are caught red handed in the criminal act.....,murder, tiefing.....but a few mornings later that same person can be in the ....same small island...foodstore line in front of you .....it would seen to appear that a lot of killings are vengence...retribution...now seems to have even dd..."contract killers"..."hitmen"....persons are just seeking instant judge...jury...executioner......and civil liberty tossed aside.....who can blame someone if they have to be arresting someone for the umpteenth time if they have or perceived to have done a crime on a loved one....agsin on this small island.....start the town meetings....call in the experts...move forward stead of erratically bouncing from shootings in the head....bloody picture video....
Lack of an lasting..effective justice system for all is needed where all parties can feel satisfied .....and the matter fades away overtaken by constructive nation building
