Dear Editor,
I seem to recall the clamour by relatives and others over the recent accidental shooting by a policeman of the vendor in downtown Georgetown.
I can understand the anger and I hope that the vendor heals quickly so that she can resume a normal life.
However, when bandits shoot people, as in the recent cases of the taxi driver and the taxi service owner and so many others, there is no clamour, no protest that bandits should not shoot their victims.
The killers live among us and we are directly or indirectly harbouring them. Some of us even benefit from their booty.
In the first case the police was trying to apprehend a criminal. In the other cases the criminal deliberately shot people after robbing them. In the end the police get the flak, while the bandits are (seemingly) revered by the silence which abounds.
Very sad, but this is Guyana
