Dear Editor,
I've heard the call from certain sectors of our society
calling for an investigation of the so called
"Phantom" group and for the dismantling and possible
imprisonment of its members.
The last time such a call was made was in connection with the
Quick Reaction Group of the Guyana Police Force, but history
recalls that as soon as the Quick Reaction Squad was dismantled,
every petty criminal and gun toting murderer came out of their
holes and created havoc on the lives of ordinary Guyanese.
Robbery,
kidnapping and murder
became a way of life in
Guyana with the majority of us on the receiving end of this
horrible period.
Can the PNC, WPA and ACDA give us the assurance that once the
"Phantoms" are retired, those vicious cut-throats and
AK47 killers who once controlled Bux-ton and who are now in
hiding thanks to the "Phantoms" will not suddenly
return and restart their reign of terror since we all know that
the Police and the Army are incapable of dealing with these
killers.
For me the choice is easy, it's either the Phantoms or the
AK47
killers from Buxton, as for the Police and the
Army, I see them in their present state as a waste of national
funds.
