Matters were made worse by the utterances of JLP St James candidate Mrs Marlene Malahoo Forte who has described the police account as “premature” and asked the public instead to accept her “instincts” about what happened.
The police might yet be lauded for their quick intervention that assured the nation that it was not another ‘war’ between the two tribes and prevented those who would be tempted from exploiting a terrible situation.
Rather than trusting the instincts of a politician, we would prefer to hear that the JLP has been co-operating with the police in its investigations to determine how warring gunmen came to ensconce themselves in the heart of a meeting being attended by the party hierarchy. It is perhaps by sheer luck that more lives were not lost in the stampede that followed.
