Dear Editor,
Guyana is in the midst of a criminal pandemic and the Government is at its wits end at the possible methods they can use to solve it. This criminal onslaught is both worrisome and mind boggling and much has to be done to curb it. In recent weeks the police have been making major inroads into this destructive attack however, many are of the view that the police are not doing enough, because the criminals are getting more and more vicious and deadlier with each attack.
While I must agree that I share those sentiments too, as I witness the daily muggings and killings, it is indeed heartrending. However, there is one serious loophole with that reasoning, in that the criminals keep changing their strategies momentarily. From motorcycle bandits, to those who might pass you by as seemingly harmless shoppers going about their business, when suddenly they pounce, brandishing a handgun or a long pointed knife or some other dangerous weapon. In such circumstances you are helpless before the robber, attacker.
Sincerely,
Neil Adams
