We cannot have a society whereby people use illegal guns and get off easily. Not only is it unjust, but over time the image that will go out around the world will ruin the economy. Who would want to visit a country where guns are ubiquitous, and there are no serious punishment in place if they are used?
Finally, a promise is a promise. Since the NDP government has made that promised, many guns have been used in crime, and they have not acted. Those who point this out are right to do so. Part of what they campaigned on was implementing stiffer gun law. Clearly they have failed to keep their promise.
Perhaps, just perhaps, if the person(s) who killed this young man knew that if they used a gun in the commission of a crime, they would be facing a long prison term, they would have thought twice of it.
But even more importantly, if they are caught, they should be punished severely. What you are advocating is doing nothing. Unfortunately, doing nothing has significant consequences.
1) What was Nyron doing there at that time of night?
2) Why was no action taken by the police when the report was made on the 10th September 2014?
3) Was he in the company of anyone at the time?
4) Is there any phone records of who could have called him to the location, based on the time of the murder?
5) Does he reside close to that location?
6) What type of gun was used, and did the police detain the suspect?
7) Did anyone see the incident and if they are willing to provide information to the police?
8) What is that place where the murder took place, is it a place to party/ hotel/bar etc?
9) Was there any security cameras, security personnel in that place?
10) What is the possible motive for this killing? ( threats, previous fights, gang related, drugs, revenge etc)
11) Was there a get away vehicle at the scene, did ppl take the liscence plate #.
All in all this does not make any sense, taking someone's life these days is so common and shows very little value for human life.
May he RIP... AND HIS KILLER(s) be brought to swift justice..
Just really wanted to see if these questions are being asked/ looked at by the Authorities..
Maybe there're in on it, who knows...

So tell me now, how do we stand when it comes to crime and I mean serious crime, not petty thief?.
These two island nations average 30-40 murders monthly..each and every month in 2014.
I am hoping that we will eventually forge a strong business relationship with China and experience a cultural shift from an imported workforce with the criminal and homicidal mentality which dominates most of the
Caribbean Islands and with which we are merging.
Balsum Ghut residency,,education,social programs and what we get in return is a kick in the teeth even from their entertainers who we import and pay big US dollars.
Only jah knows what them kill yuh for.
...what goes around comes around
...you live by de gun u die by de gun...
...wrong place wrong time
...wicked ppl have no regard for man life
RIP bro...you're an angel now..
