roberry/shooting in La Mulatta
How many posts do I have to make on the same topic? This happened yesterday afternoon. I am done posting on this topic, no one listens or understands anyway.
Patience, young sir
. I was responding to Chris the Mod sayingThank you SKY, I think I'm now clear - 2 incidents yesterday plus one on Camino Llibre 2 weeks ago. So three incidents in 2 weeks.
I only shoot the messenger when he vouches for the message. I will assume you were not, am I correct?
My understanding is that there was one event yesterday in La Mulata, reported by both Cork and Sky, and the other was 2 or 3 weeks ago, up on Camino Llibre.
Finally a voice of reason. One incident, one shot, for now anyway. We are looking for the perps and when they are found, well you figure it out.
Ah! OK - I hadn't grasped that SKY's and corks were the same event, given the differences reported. One incident yesterday, one a couple of weeks ago............finally, I'm with the programme
Well, not quite, lol.Ah! OK - I hadn't grasped that SKY's and corks were the same event, given the differences reported. One incident yesterday, one a couple of weeks ago............finally, I'm with the programme
That's just my understanding of it all, so if I'm wrong, so are you.:bunny:
I'm glad some of you are with the programme/program.
Can someone confirm ... "..one event yesterday in La Mulata, reported by both Cork and Sky, and the other was 2 or 3 weeks ago, up on Camino Llibre."

from all this i think we can conclude that unless you are the victim ..perhaps its best not to become a second-hand reporter.
I actually know of another incident two weeks but im not going to report it here since I beleive its up to the victims of the crime

John,
I tend to disagree with you on that. Posting personal details of a serious crime is not right... posting general info on the area and what is known to have happened I believe is appropriate.
The newspapers don't carry a lot of these stories... and for residents & prospective residents it helps to be aware of what's happening & where.
I hope that these incidents are not going to be the norm in the future and the silence we hear soon is due to nothing to report, not due to people remaining silent.
Just my 2 cents.

There is some validity to what you say.
One would want to respect any friend's right to privacy.
Then again, if you have a strong sense of responsibility to your community, you could ask the victims if they minded you posting the info, and if agreed upon, what info they are comfortable in releasing.
As well, you could also tell a story that you know to be factual omitting any details that might inconvenience the victims, so as to forewarn those who live in the area.

They frequently do, but one can recount a story in such a fashion that it does not induce anyone into error.
You can say, I know......
And I think......
I hear that...... but have no proof.
The rumour is.......
It's all about your choice of words.
When in doubt don't report as fact, ask a question to verify. And remember Who, What, When, Where, Why and How as far as possible.
'Knowing' of an incident is entirely different from 'hearing a rumour' or 'someone said in a bar'. And if one 'knows' then it can be helpful to share in an unemotive, factual sort of way. If there are any interpretations put on events it can be helpful to make clear those are the poster's opinions about the event, rather than the substantive data itself.

To report crime in La Mulata area call 829-890-5009
A few people interested in their safety showed up at Las Canas today where they were introduced to Capitan Contreras. The most important thing he did was to give his phone number so if we see anything unusual, like someone loitering around your house or street, you can call and officers will be sent, immediately. Though many of us have heard this kind of thing before, I think we have to have faith and see how this works out. It won't take long to know if it is working.
To call Capitan Contreras, personally, 829-890-5009. He understands English. Give simple directions and simple description of what is happening.
We need to take responsibility for ourselves by making note of this number, instructing our families what to do in case of emergency and put this number in every cell phone we have access to.
Lets be proactive and kick the la drones out of La Mulata and Sosua! We can only do that by everyone one of us sticking together!

I believe DR1 is very useful as a source of information among residents. Of course, sometimes there are inaccurate parts, and it gets cleared up afterwards, but the exchange of tips & infos in invaluable for us.
I don't know about the Sos?a folks, but for us in Las Terrenas, it helps a lot to read the reports about crime (or other subjects...) posted on DR1.
The Dominican press is not very informative, not very interesting, so such a board is priceless...
But you don't make an omelette without breaking the eggs... Sometimes some clean up has to be dome in the amount of infos... SO be it.
