Editorial: What’s happening?
We join with the rest of the citizenry in asking, “What the hell is going on?” We’re talking about the alarming increase in gun violence in our fair Antigua & Barbuda. The latest was a shooting at the Villa Primary School this past Tuesday evening. The grim irony was that this shooting was taking place even as the evening newscasts were touting the many wonderful things that were going to be done to combat crime and stem the rising tide of illegal gun activity. Not that the citizenry was comforted at the ‘we are going to do’ pronouncements! After all, we’d seen this movie before, and heard this song and dance a thousand times. So forgive us if we were not exactly doing cartwheels with joy.
