Dear Editor,
A few years ago, I was robbed and stabbed on the sea wall in the evening hours. I lost everything except my cell phone. I was trying to pacify the bandits and in the process of doing this I was stabbed in the back. Fortunately, I am still alive. This was not the case with James Peter; a nurse from India was stabbed to death for a cell phone. A very generous and promising nurse met his demise in the hands of the cowards, who are out on our streets freely looking for another prey.
Hello you cowards and losers in life, don’t you have feelings? What if someone stabbed you right in the chest to rob your cell phone? How long can you be happy using that cell phone, whilst the blood of James Peter is crying out aloud? The curse of the family and friends of Peter will see your demise sooner.
I have been wondering about my security in Georgetown. As everyone, I try to come home before 7pm. This means I am not really free on our roads. Anyone can be in Peter’s place and get killed for a piece gadget. Who shall we blame, government, police force, ourselves? Who is supposed to clean up our streets and make it crime free and robber-free society? It seems like; we are heading towards an evil society, where evil is triumphing and where justice has a very slim place. Perpetrators are right in the middle of us; we won’t even know they are drinking a beer with us until they have stabbed us. I think we have take upon this responsibility to clean our society and make it crime free. The police force alone cannot do this task, since the infrastructure is very limited. Am I not free to walk in my own street at night? Why am I not free? There is serious flaw in this society. We have to start from own home, bring up children with right ingredients of life, so that when they grow up they can be responsible and good citizens on this nation.
I would like to extend my heart-felt sympathies to Vannie and all the Indian nurses working here in Guyana. We commend your service for the healthcare system of our country.
