Another reason for Capital punishment! Especially in 3rd world countries where in many cases "doing the time for the crime" many be better living standards than they had previously living on the streets. For some its a family or friends reunion once processed. Whats there to lose! Maybe capital punishment in the form of 'Caribbean Pirate" style. Walk the plank into a sea of hungry sharks! Now that may be a deterrent

I hope her death serves as a clarion call for a more responsive and effective criminal justice system. Enough is enough. Time to make an example out of a few.
Dominican police can be quite efficient when they feel like. If this had been Joe Blow's daughter then nobody would go to jail. I think this guy is very stupid for giving himself up as he's as good as dead. Like someone said they put up the charade of the trial, etc send him to some jail where he will die in "misterious" circumstances.
Expat: Capital punishment doesn't work even in developed countries with clear justice standards. Can you imagine capital punishment established in The DR? Who do you think will be the ones that will get executed? Do you really want a Dominican judge deciding who lives or die?

you are so right, suarezn. he should have bolted for the border. he is done like dinner.
Since this incident, there have been several more attacks and two or three deaths. An officer in Sabana de la Mar (?) was killed for his weapon apparently.

I really like the idea of Manresa...Trujillo used it effectively...sharks were happy, and crime was down...

I wonder if this has to do with all the new police and military presence Danilo has implemented?
One thing is for sure is criminals keep doing these brazen attacks it could have the effect of causing the public to start supporting the police which would be disastrous to say the least for common criminals.
Over 50 years since his murder and polls still show him as one of the most admired men in DR. What does that tell you?
I say invite Amnesty International, The UN and all the other "do gooders" to a conference in a fancy resort. While the meeting is going on, have the authorities go out and eliminate the problems. Like during the baptism scene in The Godfather.
That tells me a lot about why the people here wait for some one to lead them.
Tells me why corruption isn't going anywhere.
Good Afternoon, I would like to make a few points. First I have been party to dozens of Cops "we ought to have a death squad" actually going all the way back to RVN and it always boils down to the question who decides who dies. I am way far from a Kumbaya type but if you allow free license wait till it is your family member. I believe that if the PN have such a group they do a remarkable job of getting the right guys but again who decides. Second the suggestion that the young 2nd lieutenant who was murdered is somehow responsible by not being hyper vigilant while on the way to work is not only disrespectful but false. Trained LEOS get their guns/badges stolen frequently in the US. Did you read where a DEA SA where just murdered? Got Bless this Young Lady and all the other innocents. Sorry about the emotion but right is right and wrong is wrong.
I got so mad I forgot my other point. Over the years some posters urged that those who are CCW should let their neighbors know that they are armed. I have always told those who asked that it is a bad idea and where else can the bad guys find a small portable item that is so valuable?
and it looks you may be right, hoy reports another murder to rob the gun:

This is a sad story, but why would you hire a female bodyguard? This is another sad case of a woman in a job that she shouldn't have been in. I know some liberals or feminist will slam me for saying this, but look what happened to Moammar Gaddafi, another man who like Medina relied on females to protect him. How did that work out for him? I will make it plain: women make crappy bodyguards. As a man even I would never apply for a job as a bodyguard because I'm not big and intimidating. For a job like that you want a guy like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or MMA Champion Cain Velasquez, a big 250+ dude that can do some serious damage. And in the USA the military is saying women will soon be able to enter the Navy Seals.......has the world gone mad!?
In the end, she was a female and an easy mark. She didn't have the ability to protect herself which meant she had no business protecting the president's daughter. If I were Medina the only type of people I want guarding my daughter are big, bad, tough ex military guys with advanced training and tactics(who are loyal). If you're not trained like Jack Bauer or Jason Bourne you need not apply to protect my kids.
