One man was shot and severely injured on Thursday night in Bexon near the Marc gap. According to information reaching our news desk, gunshots were heard in the community at approximately 9:30 pm.
Videos and photos of a man, bleeding from the head and gasping for breath, surfaced on social media and messaging platforms, confirming the fears of residents.
There had been reports for months of an increase in gang activity in the community and according to one resident, āthese boys were always shooting at each otherā. Another resident informed The Voice that āsometimes in broad daylight they would be shooting at each otherā.
It is unclear the circumstances for the islands latest shooting incident which has the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force actively pursuing leads.
Saint Lucia has been plagued with gun violence for much of 2020 giving law enforcement officials an uphill battle which they have vowed to fight strongly.
It is quite obvious that there are some elements in the society who just don’t
give a damn; they have no respect to common decency, for life and far less
for Law and order. So what do you do when the Legal system is chocked full
with Cases, some solved, some unsolved and others never to be solved. It is
fast becoming a crime ridden, Godless and Lawless typical of Latin American
Banana Republic; as I have always said – if you kill, you hang – but who has the
balls to implement what is on the books, and if implemented, it has been the Law
all along. If ‘Lodovik Kennedy’ had not written about ‘Christy’s’ doings at that God
forbidden No 10 Rillington Place, Kensington, London U.K. exposing the mistakes
of shoddy Policing, at a time not too soon after the second world war, then hanging
for willful murder would still be in place – Evans was wrongly hanged because Chisty
framed him for the death of many in that rooming house. I went checking at that dead
end London Street, passing near 10 Rillington Place, I just froze, all the hair on my
arms stood up. It was because of this mistake they stopped hanging in Britain, soon
after Western Europe and some States in the U.S. also stopped hanging. Pressure
was put on us and other like minded nations. So now you see, criminals are not afraid
of prison (most of them been in there) but you can whip, can’t you; pull out the lolo-beff.
