In life and death

There were at least three shootouts between police and our daily life’s villains before last week ended. They struck me because my interest was piqued by one incident which involved a certain group allegedly responsible for a string of carnapping cases, which would have included a recent case which involved a friend, Malaya sports editor Jimmy Cantor, who lost his Nissan XTrail to thieves about a couple of weeks ago.
If life is fair, those who stole Jimmy’s car — and hit him thrice in the head with the butt of a gun — would make good ornamental pieces for a garden’s Halloween showcase, or maybe some compost for somebody else’s farm. But because life is real fair, Jimmy will just wait for justice to grind, either to reclaim his car or let his insurance pay him for whatever it deems the lost vehicle is worth.
Justice seemed to have caught up with some bad guys as police were said to have engaged them in a shootout, killing some members of the carjacking group while one escaped. But their death is still subject to a debate, if not a probe, as their guilt is yet to be proven as they are silently led to their graves in Hallow week.
