Comment: Only cowards do such devilish actions. It looks like people who speak against the IG have had their property vandalised. Such actions will only create more violence, now bombs are being used. Only time will tell.

Comment: What the hell is happening in our beloved Fiji?

Comment: Oh my! I have only seen this in movies. I wonder what the real situation is like on the ground because from these reports, it seems like an unstable state indeed. If Rika knows the ones behind these attacks, then they should be taken to justice. These kind of acts only paint a bad name for our country. Our dwindling standing calls for our combined efforts to prove our potential to the outer world.

Comment: There is so much crime happening esp house break-ins by masked men and others of this nature. It seems the Police is not taking any action which is directed against some important people and good citizens of Fiji. It is sad. Hope the Police makes every effort to catch these masked men and others who intend to damage property.

Comment: I never knew bombs would get to Fiji as well!

Comment: These attacks have been orchestrated I believe by interested parties whose interests will be best served by turning public opinion around to suit themselves. And how best to achieve this than by plotting to lay blame for such acts on another. The military are in a vulnerable position and need public opinion on their side. Even though these acts have the hallmarks of military tactical ploy, that they should use this now when they need peoples' support, seems illogical.

Comment: There are ways to resolve issues rather then to resort violence to resolve a mere difference. Even The Vatican once remarked that Fiji is the way that the whole world should be but if we indulge in this kind of evil radicalism, then we scoop to low a humane standard. Let’s keep up our humanity and stigma up to a civil aptitude. Gandhi once said, an eye for an eye attitude will make the whole world blind. Peace is prosperity of life.

Comment: Community policing should be encouraged. We assist our police force in maintaining security by having joint foot and mobile patrols. I think that will be accepted readily by our various youth groups. Traditional, religious and social leaders should be approached to play their part by encouraging members of their community for joint policing operations.

Comment: It is hard to catch criminals who used the cover of darkness to perpetrate atrocities. Do you people remember Police Commissioner Isikia Savua who threw his hands up at the height of the coup? This gesture was seen around the world in TV footage. He couldn't catch them in broad daylight.

Comment: Two possibilities of these actions are: Possibility 1. As many say that anyone who speaks against the state is being targeted. Since no action is taken by police such speculations seems to be true. Possibility 2. People who are against the state are doing it so that the IG gets a bad name. Secondly, if such situations are looked deeper then two things happens simultaneously; violent robbery on targeted businessmen and attacks on prominent people so that attention of the police is towards the second crime as the media is focusing on them while the crime of robbery of large sums continue every day. Now the question is who is the culprit?

Comment: People are saying that those who speak out against the IG are targeted. Is there any proof of this? Has somebody been caught or was talking to these thugs and do they say that they were hired by the IG? The IG will be blamed for all this, but yet there is no proof. Rika says he know them. We need facts.

Comment: Why do we have to use taxpayer money to pay for security (police service) for these people? Yes, what happened was wrong but they are not different than you & me. They put themselves in those situations and they have the money to pay for their own security. What about the people that gets robbed every day and women getting raped are they different than this two? Why are we not providing police services for them? These people's homes didn't get burned or they were physically traumatised. Our Police Dept is limited in resources and they are responsible for the whole of Fiji. These 2 people don't deserve special treatment just because they are media darlings.
