Tragedy in Vincy - Mac Special Edition

Now MAC can’t stay away for the whole vacation. A small, very miniscule part of us wish we were at school again. Sure we spend all term looking forward to the summer vacation, but when it finally arrives, it only takes a month for boredom to start planting thoughts in our heads along the lines of, "how long is it before school reopens?"

by now, by way of Vincy’s Infamous Chinese Telephone most of you have already heard about the two tragedies this morning. The first one involves a little child who was mauled by a pit-bull. Rumour has it that the child has not been killed, but has sustained serious injuries, and has lost sight in both eyes.Rumour also has it that it occured in the vicinity of a college student's home. This is the second time someone has been mauled by that breed of dog in SVG.

The second tragedy involves a prominent yet young lawyer, who was all over the newspapers not too long ago, being shot and killed in his own office. Its hard to comprehend, how the masked gunman made it ALL the way up to the top floor, past the secretary, deep into the bowels of the lawyers office did the deed, and make his way back downstairs unscathed. This is the second time a lawyer has been brutally murdered by a gunman. The first time was a few years ago, but unlike this incident; the troubled gunman wore no mask and committed suicide with the same gun.

Surely, now because of these repeat incidents, lots of measures will be put in place to prevent this from happening; this is in accordance with the Unwritten Law of SVG #242, Something muss happen before something is done. It’s a shame someone (or more than one) has to suffer to save scores of other people from similar incidents. When dangerous situations should be forseen by the members of the police force. Do they have meetings to assess potential dangerous situations in St.Vincent? or to determine ways in which to make their service more efficient and available?. We certainly hope so!
