Blah blah indeed. With 17 000+ murders per annum, this country is still worse than a war zone. I still want to hear from the Minister of Justice how many cases were dealt with by the courts and how many convictions were made, in the same period. 1,400+ reported cases of theft out of motor vehicles in the Woodstock precinct. How many arrests were made? How many cases went to court? How many convictions were made? How many went to jail? What counts is arrests, convictions and jail sentences vs reported crimes. Next year, present the crime statistics on a balance sheet. Crime vs Conviction. We fight on, fellows. Give crime the boot. Feel it, it's eina! Brian.
