Who does not know the greatest dilemma for any SWAT-team in eliminating a threat ?
Even with the best ‘sharp-shooters' ? Of course who does not know that ?
It are potentially innocent bystanders or technically speaking, undesired ‘collateral damage'.
Therefore, the best defense of any professional criminal is..., yes you guessed it right...
Make sure to take a few valuable hostages during the operation.
That will give the best possible ‘protective shield' for every criminal act.
Now the DP had the opportunity to take ‘hostages' as well while forming the new Government and in the process protect itself from the ‘Higher SWAT Supervision Team'.
However, the DP ignored that well tested and successful tactic.
All they had to do, was to allow either a few of their members to become ‘bedfellows' with the National Alliance, or vice versa, or even form a coalition with the national Alliance, until the ‘SWAT-threat' was over.
Alas, greed, un-satiable lust for power of their ‘Advisor-in-Chief', well versed in the principles and teachings of ‘Machiavelli', the ‘Godfather', ‘sprinkled' with some ‘Voodoo-seasoning', enticed the DP in not looking further than the length of its already ‘flat-nose'. ...
Granted, the DP won the ‘6 - days heroic battle', but what about the ‘war' ?
How long will this old, patched-up, renovated DP-Government, consisting of ‘mini-DP Fiefdoms' last you ask ?
My answer is simple.
Only God knows.
But this is my advice...
I would not accept this ‘House that Mr. Obeah built' as collateral of any substantial, if any value at all.
For its days are numbered......
Meanwhile, with such a ‘360 degrees target', the ‘Higher SWAT Supervision Team' led by ‘Hero BRINKMAN' does not even have to ‘aim', simply because it can not miss, even if it wanted and tried as hard as possible.....
Every ‘shot fired' will cause, yes again you guessed it right.... A ‘DP-casualty', with no other ‘collateral damage'
Our local , ‘Gated Harbor View Community' could become overpopulated and many ‘off-shore accounts', once considered a safe ‘lay-away' guarantee-plan, could well be confiscated using the services of international forensic accountants and investigators.
And so, eventually the house will be ‘purged', swept clean and who knows the NA will be having the ‘last laugh'.
A dream that will ‘never' happen you say ?
Maybe so, but still suppose, just suppose it turns out to be a ‘nightmare come true' ?
In the meantime, between time, do not stop the intrigue, the politicking, the carnival, just but let justice take its course.
