A gun in a man and woman hand is a gift from the PPP to stay in power.
Give out more guns Rohee, while the streets become more flooded.
The Water Cannon will not be able to function with the rate at which Guyana is going.....
Judgement says all of these politicans will have to one day give account for them misleading the people and intoducing corruption and intolerance into the mindset of the people. No one can and will escape this judgement.God bless Guyana and you the people of Guyana don't fall into the trap laid down by the government for they will be snared by they own deceit.
Imaine wo people might die because of GAME FOWL!!!!
But then in reality shabby investigation by the police, missing file jacket, witness not showing up for court, bribe, payment to settle out of court will all supercede this.
I pray that both mom and son pulls through.
