The number of teenaged criminals is astounding and the even the police would be surprised at the age of the new rash of them. For starters, they all have guns, so in a very short while there is bound to be violent confrontation between these very young boys and the law enforcement.

River disasters are nothing new, but the increasing frequency is. In the coming days there will be another river mishap caused by a craft that would have an inexperienced pilot. Again there will be fatalities.
As fate would have it, one of the craft would be transporting supplies for a government location.
