firstly lemme say it is not a crime-is-on-the-rise threat nor a show of sensationalism. just the story.
last night we woke up to noises that quickly became loud shouts. at 2am this is not something you want to miss so we went to the balcony just to see the security guys plus some big men in black and white khaki uniforms (identified by minovio as "military police"). right after the shooting broke out and we saw policeman chasing thieves. further shots.
now, let me drift a little from the main subjects. shots in the movies somehow sound better than those dry cracks you get from a real gun...
anyway, we went back to sleep and in the morning we found out that four thieves were caught in the act: one got two shots (later died in the hospital), second got his a** kicked by the police (not likely to leave hospital soon), third was caught this morning and fourth has run away.
they took few things from the apartment they broke into but nothing major has happened. stupid bastardo who got himself shot lost his life over fridge and tv...
i asked minovio whether there will be any police investigation and he told me it was unlikely. whoever shot the guy will go to work as if nothing happened. in EU they'd be suspended from duty to undergo psychological evaluation. here - nothing. my friend boyfriend used to serve in iraq, i asked him once if he felt bad about killing people, he answered: "i tell myself this is other soldier's bullets that kill, not mine". :ermm:
seems being a thief in DR sucks but being police is not much better.
