Lae thugs need to be taught a lesson

THE peace-loving and law-abiding people of Lae are fed up with the thugs who now dominate Eriku, main market and settlements.
As a Morobean, I am beginning to feel threatened in my own city after 25 years of peace.
What am I going to do now about this situation?
What is the next move of peace-loving people of Lae?
I am beginning to think beyond a normal human being and that is to kill anyone who comes my way trying to steal or threatens me and other peace-loving people.
In order to do that, I need to carry a dangerous weapon.
Two weeks ago, I witnessed an incident in Eriku while travelling to the main market on a PMV that brought tears to my eyes.
I saw the thugs holding on to two schoolgirls about 13 years and started belting the one who struggled and shouted for help until she collapsed. 
I do not know what happened as the bus had moved on.
But what I found most dreadful was no one stopped to help her and her friend.
I once fought with two thugs at the Lae town bus stop who were trying to rob a woman and was almost killed in the process.
But that has not deterred me from helping other people in distress.
I support the Menyamya Morobe Security Service personnel who are trying their best to keep the city and people safe.
The Morobe police must step in and enforce the law.
If they are not seen to by doing their job, then the people will lose their respect and trust in seeking help from them.
What is the provincial government doing about this?
They have been very quiet since the thugs took over Eriku.
Where is the governor?
His silence is deafening.
Since the authorities are not seen to be keen to step in, my immediate instinct is to take out as many thugs as possible.
While this may mean I condone the rule of the jungle, what choice do I have?
I am ready to die defending my land and take as many pests with me as possible.
