Great,   The least we can do for our beloved children who were gunned down
in broad daylight, is to put these people on the spot and bring out their
inconsistencies. We must do our part to get to the bottom of this
warrantless massacre. Anything less on our part, will be uncivilized. We
must get rid of YAYA BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Am also in for using the
judicial process if that is what it would take. If it is also going to take
Colly, Jatta, etc. to get rid of him ....fine with me too.
