Dear Editor,

It's interesting to note that it's only after the murder rate had surpassed the record set 2011 that the prime minister decided he felt "distressed". It's unbelievable! It's only after three and a half long years that he has just become distressed and the murder count for this same period stands at approximately 480.

During his campaign he said that he had the answer and the solution to the vexing crime issue. If the prime minister is now distressed, then how does that parent feel when they send a text telling their child to come home, only to learn that was their child was gunned down?

If the captain is distressed, what a legacy! I am also distressed. I need a glimmer of help and hope.
