Lawless Society
Dear Editor,
A few weeks ago, I saw on Social Media a video of a woman in Port Mourant being attacked by several women, one of whom was brandishing a cutlass which she used to administer a vicious chop to the head of her unfortunate and helpless victim. It was sickening to watch and I hoped that the perpetrator of this savage attack would be removed from society and put away behind bars for a very long time.
Much to my surprise, I recently found out that the police showed no interest in apprehending the perpetrator(s) and only pressure from senior ranks, upon seeing the video of the attack, forced them to lay charges.
I also found out that the cutlass wielding perpetrator was released on bail shortly after her arrest, free to continue terrorising with impunity. Editor, I ask you, who is foolish enough to want to come back to live in a society where such uncivilised behaviour exists?
There is bad behaviour from its citizens and also from the officials paid to ensure such behaviour is not tolerated!
What sort of society allows this kind of barbaric and jungle mentality to fester and perpetuate?
Those of us who left Guyana decades ago and hoped that with time, our homeland would have changed and evolved are in for a rude surprise.
What we see and read daily in its news media leads us to conclude Guyana is a dangerous place.
Probably more dangerous now than it ever was.
Sincerely,
Dennis Balgobin
