Viewers support curfew and raids to clamp down on crime

After Thursday’s call for a shutdown to speak out against crime and violence and the senseless murder especially of eight year old Eyannie Nunez… we put forward the question: Do you support draconian measures such as curfew and raids to clamp down on criminals? Well the results are in and a resounding majority voted in favor of draconian measures. Eighty-seven percent voted yes while thirteen percent said, “No.”  One respondent commented: “If raids target the known criminals, then absolutely I will support them. But if they just go after ordinary citizens and “little fish”, it will not help anything.” While another remarked: “These are desperate times in Belize. Crime is rampant, criminals move around with impunity, the Judiciary is in disarray. Desperate times call for desperate actions.”
