The Baccoo speaks

The manner in which people fail to heed warnings is not astonishing. It simply highlights how stupid they are and it is this stupidity that caused so many of them to cause fatal accidents.

In the coming days there will be more twisted masses of metal as vehicles slam into bridge rails and plunge into culverts and canals. In one case, the driver is going to blame people crossing the road; in another, the word would be about losing control and hitting a pool of water.

There will be two more road fatalities and one shattered household.

In these hard times, there is one family that is so destitute that the plight of the family members wrings pity from the hardest of hearts. Thieves killed the breadwinner and have eluded capture. But all is not lost.

The police are going to find the people who bought the stolen property and will bring pressure to bear. However, money talks. In the end only one of the murdering thieves will be caught.

Another fire is going to strike and as can expected the cause would be undetermined although the victims are going to argue that it is electrical.

Houses need to be rewired because some have wires that have reached the end of their safe use. In some cases, people overload electrical points. This is going to be the cause of this next fire.
