Tension is rising in the society following the escape of a dangerous criminal from prison. The phone calls to media houses purportedly coming from criminal elements would not help the situation.
But there is also going to be an upside because the police are going to intensify their patrols in the city because they know that these are different times.
Because of these patrols they are going to arrest some petty criminals who had managed to slip under the radar.

I did warn of a jailbreak. I warn that there is going to be another because the pressure in the prison system is going to force people to do just one thing—escape.
At the same time, those who are there because of a recent operation will be under special guard in a system that has become severely weak.
This other jailbreak is going to create all manner of headaches because the escapees would not be congregating in any safe haven. They will be a loose agglomeration, always ready to assemble to create trouble.
The police would have limited success.

Smiling faces would abound because the results of an examination would be made known.
And as usual there is going to be challenges, largely because parents would conclude that their children did better than published.
It is going to be a torrid few days for the education officials.
