that is why human rights or some other organization should step in to form some sort of justice system.

You could imagine, you are an attorney representing an individual accused of shooting another person in what can be considered as a act of self defense and this magistrate is hearing the case?

……ever kno’ that is only in GY ,, people like Dr. Walter Rodney,, and more can be MURDERED,, and those who engineered his death by MURDER still walkin roun’ like de pope !…..

doan get me wrong i’m not saying the magistrate is justified ,, and in the same breath ,, the police — from the reports — did not follow the rules of engagement ,,

so in all fairness to the DPP,, i think her decision is balanced ,, since it well established that,, JUSTICE IS BLIND !…………..

No body is a holder of a law or the law/s. One can be an enforcer of the law but that does make him/her to be over the law. The law /s of the country are made to be abided by all its citizens – not only the ordinary people but all including those who are trusted to upheld it/them.

we can all say what we want to say but,i think that justice was not served and i as a former member of the GPF for 15 yrs do think that it send a very bad message to the young ones in guyana at a time when people are afraid of joining the GPF.I will close by saying only god can help Guyana at this time

Several years Dr Fenton Ramsahoye gave a commentary on the local TV. He remarked that the judiciary is not a sacred institution, it had so many people of low morale and Guyanese have no confidence in such an institution. I can name a few of those in the judiciary who do not belong there. What a disgrace!

Mack I agree with you 1000%.
Thank God he did shoot and was able to save his life. I agree with the DPP’s DECISION. The police must learn to do their jobs professionally. Who knows maybe if he didn’t use his firearm he would’ve been the second YOHANCE DOUGLAS- a University of Guyana colleague slain by the police a few years ago. I don’t feel sorry for police men when they feel the pain of a bullet. He will now have a phobia for guns and develop more tact and reasoning power. The police should have done the right thing.
“THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD IN THE WORST OF US AND SO MUCH BAD IN THE BEST OF US, THAT IT HARDLY BECOMMES ANY OF US WHO CAN TRULY TALK OF THE REST OF US”
Mr. Gilhuys go licence that thing now.

for your head they were freedom fighters, but for your heart and soul and of all law abiding guyanese they are gangsters, criminals, dangerous elements and worst that dirt, so you tell me how can a civiliased and educated officers of the JS negociate with a few illiterate criminals.death for them was the only way out.even fineman mother and sister say in an earlier interveiw they tried to persaude them from criminal activities but to no progress

Only de police officer and mr.gilhuys knows wat hapen that night ,and de only thing de public knows is wat they want us to kno, so if they want to leave it alone I think it should be left alone. Just my opinion. They are all law enforcement personel.

Mack? does it not cause you to think as to why, given your scenario, the
magistrate would find himself parked in A DARK STREET?

IF YOU ARE PARKED IN A DARK STREET, I MEAN YOU YOURSELF,
would you throw caution to the winds given the prevailing crime
situation, and have your outside vision submerged?

Man;;;THINK…THINK…THINK !!

Thanks ALLISON

The police chief generally skirts questions, but sometimes he lets slip.

This is grave injustice. The Chancellor or The Atorney General should now get involved in this matter. The DPP should give her reasons publicly in writing as to why Mr Gilhuys should not be charged.
