Well I am sad to hear all this happen in one night however I was just informed that my niece and her cousin was robbed at gunpoint on Cowpen Road. Right next to the road in an open area mind you. They had wanted to steal the car they were using which was a Honda. It was apparently decked out and they needed the keys. They stole my nieces purse and the keys to the vehicle but due to the fact that there was more than one car key on the set they were unable to take the car because it would take time to figure out which key started the engine. They called the police to be told that to them it wasn’t a priority and that they sent all the cars to this one place and she needed to come in and make a report. She just was robbed outside a family residence and you expect her to calmly walk outside to go to a police station all because you don’t deem her case a priority to send a car. That isn’t right because imagine if those guys were waiting for them to come back outside to force them to get in the car and make it work and take them where ever or worse.
So you mean to tell me that the police officers of this country does not consider my niece a priority because she was not shot. They prefer I loose a niece before they consider it necessary to get their backsides up and investigate something. Yes there is crime all around and persons are dying I understand that, but at least show some consideration for those who were spared the loss of life as well.
