I agree. For too long Guyana has been a place where decent hardworking people are victimized by these criminals. I was only a teenager when a criminal put a knife to my neck and took away my bike which I had just shined up for the weekend. Three speed complete with nickel fenders and white wall tires. But the crime against me is minute compared to so many other victims some of whom has had their lives taken from them. So one less criminal is perfectly fine with me.

ksazma, when I lived in Georgetown I was robbed six times on the street. This included one incident when the robber held a .22 pistol to my chest and demanded my wallet.

Still, I believe that criminals should face justice and are entitled to due process. That's why we have laws, courts and jails.

If a robber is shot while committing the act, so be it.I'm just saying that pumping 8 bullets at close range into that young guy was excessive force.

Maybe. But I prefer to think that the one most able to make that assessment is the one in immediate danger. For that I defer to the police rank. People expose themselves to that eventuality when they decide to become criminals. Better them being killed than the innocent potential victim.
