Comment: I do not know that this is the direction in which we intended to have SKN go but, somewhere in the very recent past, when people were crying out for some action to combat what was definitely a developing gang culture, government went out of the way to define for us what gangs were; and since the troubled youth did not fit those definitions, it was concluded that there were no gangs in SKN.
Although government has not admitted that it was wrong (it never does, anyway), we have heard/read statements from various quarters in government lamenting the activities of these gangs.
A further step needs to be taken to get as many guns as possible off the streets. The logic is simple; criminals do not have their guns just for the hell of it. They have them so that they can use them. So, if they are affected in one way or the other and they need to “deal” with someone, the gun will be the weapon of choice.
I think there is far too much talk. |
