AFTER reading this: “Once again, quick action by ranks of the Tactical Services Unit Anti-Crime Squad on the East Coast of Demerara led to the arrest of a bandit minutes after he and his accomplice had robbed a female Mon Repos resident.
After telling police, “Me partner name Scary and me name Chucky”,
The law must now ensure that this criminal tells them where his criminal accomplice resides. If he does not tell, the law should charge him and try him, and when found guilty, place him in a jail cell for the rest of his natural life, until he tells them what they want to hear.
These criminals must be charged as terrorists, because that’s what they are.
The minimum jail sentence must be 50 years behind bars for terrorism and armed robberies. If not, innocent law-abiding citizens will forever live in fear.
Those in authority must ask innocent, law-abiding citizens what terror they feel or felt after an encounter with any of these bandits.
The government is urged to listen to the cries of innocent, law-abiding citizens, and to get extremely tough on these terrorist-bandits parasites. If not, innocent, law-abiding citizens will forever continue to live their lives in fear. The quick reaction by police must be commended, but still one terrorist-bandit criminal got away. Every effort must now be made to catch him and put him away too.
The law must now give ‘CHUCKY’ a choice to disclose the name and whereabouts of his accomplice, ‘SCARY’, or face life in prison.
Terrorists, bandits and criminals are not stupid people. If they know what faces them if and when caught, they will think a million times before preying on the innocent and helpless, decent, law-abiding citizens in society.
The law must take into consideration why these terrorists carry guns; it’s to defend their loot, and to kill, if necessary, should their victims put up a struggle or confront them.
Innocent, law-abiding citizens are crying out for justice, and for an end to be put  to this kind of banditry, which has been ongoing for too long.
