Comment: Sooner or later these thugs and murderers are going to kill a student, tourist, ex pat, visiting media or (a Four Seasons guest?)...then watch the backlash!
And, sooner or later, the extent of crime will become headlines in the travel, tourism press and electronic media.
And, then, there will be foreign government travel alerts put out warning their citizens to avoid SKN.
The price will very high for every citizen and supporter of the islands as tourism, business, real estate development and the educational facilities shrink and disappear.
I don't see "later", just as I don't see any proactive or serious government intervention. Sorry to say, also, I don't see much of citizen outrage that could precipitate much need action.
A foreign army of professional police, widespread search and seize operations, temporary suspension of civil liberties and swift and brutal justice seem possible if the current situation continues. I
would hate to see any of the latter "solutions" but the writing is on the proverbial wall. Good luck to all. |
