THE EDITOR, SIR:
IT WAS a time of great crises. Crime had infected every area of society. The lawless were in full control, aided and abetted by a privileged few, who instead of standing up for the rights of innocent citizens who were being butchered by criminals stood by the criminals instead.
They cried foul every time the long arm of the law cut down a criminal. The criminal had a right to life, his victim did not. The criminals were humans, but their innocent defenceless victims were animals, who were always fair game.
Out of all this emerged one man to champion the cause of the poor defenceless "sitting ducks". In order to save the "animals" he sometimes had to kill the "humans". A man whom law-abiding citizens love, but who the criminals and the "criminal rights" activists despised.
They had to get rid of him. Criminals no longer felt safe. Not even the buffer provided by the "criminal rights" activists seemed good enough. Criminal sympathisers under the guise of talk show hosts were called by criminal affiliates, with numerous derogatory allegations about the man.
Everything culminated in the death of seven "humans', who were reported to have killed two animals, a school principal and a policeman. The "criminal rights" activists had a field day. That man had to go now. The man went on leave. Was it self-imposed, or was he forced?
If he was forced, whoever was behind it must have eaten some English beef and was now suffering from Mad Cow disease. We the law-abiding citizens need some one to defend us too. Please don't leave us to the mercy of the gunmen.
I am, etc.,
