The same old same old, one would think that as remote and out in the open as Andy’s is and with Law enforcementright next door at the Airport and the Drugs Task Force on Airport Road this would not happen without a quick response. Some people are talking about Cayman being destroy by the UK . We need to bring back the real police to do Police work and stop hiring all these overseas people . We are not getting our money’s worth we have more Police than we ever had and less crimes are being prevented and solved. The only reason Estella’s Murder was solved is because the people along with her friends some who happened to be ex law enforcement got up and did something about it.
Very "troubling and concerned" times in these Cayman Islands today. Perhaps the powers that were, should have concentrated on "firearms and drug smuggling" at our open borders in times gone by, instead of hassling motorists in road blocks for minor traffic violations !!!!
Almighty God forbid, you don’t want to hear or read next that one of these "audacious criminals" killed a front line police officer(s) or a tourist(s) with one of these firearms that previously came through our borders undetected. (Any innocent person for that matter)
But as the old saying goes, "you reap what you sow" and so, he who gave his unconditional support behind this "unusual stance" taken in the past, then so deal safely and strategically with the wrath that has been unleashed by these out of control "thugs" now !!!
