Evenly the lowly fruit vendor is fair game for these afc/apnu bandits. As usual the preferred target is an Indian, revenge for marginalizing the blacks for 2 decades under the PPP.

Bhir Kumar, 46, called ‘Django’ of Riverview, Ruimveldt, was shot three times in the right leg while wrestling with the two bandits, who had attacked him outside his aunt’s home.
The robbers reportedly fled in a car.
Anita Arjune, the victim’s aunt, told Kaieteur News that Kumar assists her in selling at her stall, and would usually visit her in the afternoon for dinner.
Mrs. Arjune said that she lying in a hammock under her Lot 20, Hogg Street home with a 17-year-old grand-daughter,  when she heard “a scrambling” near her gate. She then saw Kumar fighting with two masked men, who had already relieved him of his money.
She said that as Kumar continued to fight with the men, the bandits began to “fire shots wildly.” Three of the bullets struck Kumar, who collapsed.
Mrs. Arjune said that she began to scream and retreated into the house with her grand-daughter. Other residents also began to raise an alarm.
Kumar was eventually taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation where he was admitted.
