My father passed away yesterday at the age of 82. He had been beaten, robbed and shot several times. Money and personal belongings were taken. He was perfect imo of heart and soul. There is no doubt in my mind that he has forgiven his murderer. He was a much kinder and gentler person than me, in all, a much better person.
Many people that post and read this board are involved in law enforcement and to those I give a special thanks for their duty to the community.
The commitment of the local authorities to solve this crime is amazing. Crime scene investigators were on the location continuously for 26 hours. At no time was there less than two crime scene vans on the location and it reached a high of three vans, one mobil major crime scene investigations truck and approaching forty uniformed and plain clothed officers working together. It's a very comforting feeling to know that all that may be possible is being done.
My father was a well respected life long member of the community.
This may be one of the few times in my life that I will not begrudge my tax money as it seems to be going to a worthwhile purpose.
Several threads recently spoke of "How dangerous is DR?". All in all my answer would be "a hell of a lot safer than the USA". No doubt the present and ongoing investigation is second to none. But what about justice? I want to believe in a jury of his peers although that would mean finding twelve pieces of the most unimaginable scum to judge him.
I remember the thread about "la soga". I feel the need although I will not act on it.
So, any comments on safety anywhere should keep in mind that anything can happen anywhere.
