I think we should focus on prevention rather than just catching criminals.
Prevention is key, but catching criminals is crucial to ensuring justice and accountability. We cant turn a blind eye to those who break the law. Both prevention and enforcement are necessary for a safe and just society.
Why is the media always quick to judge without all the facts?
I wonder if the accused had a motive or if it was random…
Wait, but what if the man is innocent and being framed? Just a thought.
Innocent until proven guilty, right? Dont jump to conclusions. The truth might surprise you. Remember, there are always two sides to a story.
