Condolences to the guy's family and friends, but unless someone can show me a magic wand in a glass case that says "In case of Kamala Break Glass", I don't see any effective short-term solutions to a problem that has been escalating for the better part of a decade.
Let's let cooler heads prevail and try not to politicize threads like these, starting with this one. A life was lost. Enough is enough.
R.I.P. dude.
Kishore Maharaj, 24, left his car in the parking lot and went to the shop. He left the keys in the ignition, police said.
Maharaj’s sister-in-law, Sally Maharaj, said, ’He was walking out of the shop when he saw three men walking towards the car. He leaned over to another customer and told him that the men were going to rob him. The bandits were going into his car. One went into the driver seat, one in the back seat and another was standing at the front passenger side. Kishore walked over and cuffed that one in the face. But the back seat passenger pulled out a gun and shot him twice.’
i think he was shot not because he struggled with them but because he knew them.

besides the favourite word being "review"?
seems a very comfortable and accepted reason for "inaction".
AG keeps passing the buck to the DPP. It's as if he spent so much time opposing, he not sure how to enact.
PM as said, has to review everything, acts on nothing, and performance level endorsed by the lemmings.

No one is denying that you know...
But the fact remains, wrt crime...they have said N O T H I N G
NADA, ZILCH, ZERO
They have not outlined a plan, they haven't made a statement, they haven't even condemned the acts. Nothing. Their plan in the manifesto is a JOKE, and it's showing now.
What did they say about Crime in their manifesto??? Do you have a copy?
I have a copy if you need help copy and pasting, brb with the "plan" for crime!
RASC wrote:ATTACKING CRIME,
NURTURING
HUMANITY
Making Our Society Safe and
Our Citizens Secure
Economic progress on a sustainable basis and
meaningful democracy are not possible unless crime
is brought under control and there can be some
assurance of human safety and security. There are
structural problems that facilitate crime. Among
these are illegal drugs, alienation from the political
process, the lack of participation and consultation,
the economic arrangements which have led to a
growing divide between the haves and have-nots, in
addition to a very obvious moral and spiritual malaise.
Unhappiness in the society is not only reflected in
crime but also in increased mental illness, vagrancy
and homelessness, as well as the number of protests
and demonstrations, which have developed for several
years now.
The current government neither has the will nor
the competence to deal with the lawlessness and
indiscipline pervading our society and which feeds the
environment within which crime flourishes. The current
situation speaks to a moral decay that now pervades
the society propelled by a corrupt and ineffective
leadership, which considers the loss of lives “collateral
damage”. Unless we remove this nightmare, investment
in education, investment in the promotion of sports,
the arts and social services will have limited impact and
the transformative benefits we seek will never be fully
realised.
Our government will take a multipronged approach
that will address the political, economic, social,
technological and managerial dimensions required to
reinstate safety and security. Punitive sanctions alone
will not solve the crime problem. The first step we will
take involves addressing the issue of white-collar crime
and corruption, the second addresses the fundamental
challenges of effective management of the institutions
of law and order, the third requires the reorganisation
of our education system, the fourth requires us to
design productive sectors to provide viable alternatives
to criminal activities and the fifth, revolves around the
set of initiatives listed below.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
• We will support the management of the Police
service to ensure that there are proper levels of
policing and hold it accountable for effective
delivery through the establishment of clear
measurable benchmarks for crime reduction and
containment
• We will establish a National Security Operational
Centre (NSOC), involving use of technology to
set up a real-time centralised system for tracking
crime. This will involve equipping every Police
vehicle with a Global Positioning System (GPS)
and linking with every police station through
an appropriate technology platform. Abuse of
equipment will not be tolerated
• We will enforce traffic laws. A majority of crime
involves the use of vehicles. Enforcement of
road traffic laws and regulation would serve as a
major deterrent to such illegal activity. A variety
of mechanisms including Radar Speed Detection
Guns will be used in this
• We will use GPS bracelets on offenders who are
on probation but are still deemed a security
risk (so that their movement can be monitored)
and if legislation is required, we will take the
necessary steps
• We will guard our coastline through the 360º
radar linked to all branches of the security
services. Connectivity will be monitored and we
will insist on staying connected.
• We will establish the National Security Protective
Services Training Academy to improve capacity
of our police officers to perform at their optimal
levels
• Training programmes and merit systems will be
established to motivate police to new ideals of
justice
• We will strengthen the National Security Council
to link intelligence, strategy and execution in
crime fighting
• We will modernise physical infrastructure
and amenities to boost morale and improve
productivity
• We will implement the criminal injuries and
compensation laws and adjust the measure of
compensation
RESOCIALISING AWAY FROM CRIME
• Human Security – The basic necessities of food,
shelter and work must be accessible to all.
• Schooling – We need to strengthen the
secondary system to ensure that students move
on to further education or to productive roles in
the economy.
• Recidivism – The prison system is replete with
young offenders and more seasoned offenders
who keep passing through a revolving door.
Young, first-time offenders convicted of relatively
minor offences could be paroled and engaged in
community service. We must move to a serious
strategy for rehabilitation and reintegration into
the society and an economy that is linked to
education and skills building.
• Community Policing – This is important for
policing, community building, and crime
prevention and will be executed as a strategy
that acknowledges that police presence in the
community is an important deterrent to crime.
• A Household by Household Approach to Poverty
Reduction – It has been established that there
is a link between poverty and crime. Our crime
reduction strategy must be supported by a
poverty reduction strategy that is different in
that it would tackle the different age groups
within a household to ensure education
and skills for the young, second chances for
dropouts that bring them into productive
endeavour, special programmes for women, skills
programmes for the unskilled willing to work
and targeted programmes for the elderly and
persons living with disabilities
OVERHAULING CRIMINAL JUSTICE
From arrest to determination to release
• We will re-engineer the justice system in
consultation with all stakeholders to ensure
swift justice from the point of arrest to the final
determination of all criminal matters
• Introduce and implement legislation which will
rebalance the justice system in favour of victims
with emphasis on protection for the rights of
victims, witnesses and jurors
• Restructure the justice system to ensure
that criminal and civil matters are separately
addressed and that there are appropriate
resources and linkages between the Ministry
of National Security and the relevant legal
ministries to ensure effective management of
criminal cases. There may be need to streamline
the Attorney General’s office to address these
multiple functions and to achieve multiple
objectives for prosecution of criminals and
streamlining the justice system for efficiency
• Expand and implement Community Service
sentencing for certain categories of crime
• Overhaul the penal system so that prisoners
have a real opportunity to turn around their lives
reducing the revolving door syndrome of repeat
offenders
• Facilitate the further establishment of half-way
houses in conjunction with NGOs to assist in
reintegration of past offenders into society.
NATIONAL DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
As part of a National Disaster Preparedness Plan, the
protective services, defense force and civil society must
engage in continuous “response training”. The Citizens
and members of our entire society must be sensitised
to their role. Such a plan must also be acceptable to the
Police and Fire Services as an integrated plan to which
all are committed in a situation of disaster.
