OK, we all agree that these armed robberies are intolerable. There also seems to be a degree of consensus that the local govmt is not doing enough or taking the right actions to reduce this violence.

As you know, SXM politics is pretty complex. In another case, SXM medical center, the only step that seems to be effective was bringing in the Dutch Govmt.

Maybe we should all write to Dutch members of parlement, I know that a few of them have been bringing up mismanagement of SXM on a regular basis.
