Stop senseless killings

THE EDITOR, Madam:

I was horrified to read the news of the mass murder in Four Paths, Clarendon, which left eight dead and nine injured.

Jamaica is at the place where persons can be at a location enjoying themselves and brutal beasts just spray them with lethal bullets. Greed and, as Jamaicans would say ‘bad mind’ are the underpinnings of these murders. Gang warfare are generally orchestrated by bloodthirsty dons and enforcers.

We have to be strong, united, and fight against these forces of darkness that are arrayed against the peace in this country. Condolences to the people of Cherry Tree Lane; they should cooperate with the authorities and help to catch the criminals.

The commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill’, is still to be adhered to. Parents need to raise their children in the fear and admonition of Almighty God.

What a sad welcome to our returning athletes from Paris Olympics. May God help us.
