Dear Editor,
Someone asked me if people are allowed to fly drones on St. Maarten? I told him I don’t know. In my days, we were asked to make sure no kites were flown in the vicinity of the airport, but I do not know if there is legislation for drones.
“I ain’t finish yet,” he said, “that situation where that woman slap the police on the boardwalk, is that an automatic lock-up?” Again I have to state that I have my reasons why I do not comment on so-called negative police intervention. I do not know what is the philosophy behind police work of late, but it is no secret that the vast majority of the community is not pleased. What I know is that no relative nor friend of mine would dare slap me in public and definitely not while I’m working.
That person started to tell me what they say about a fish, but I cut him off, because no one goes around saying what I didn’t say. I voice my opinion black on white where I cannot deny it.
l honestly hope that this situation is handled adequately and expeditiously. There was a time when our unofficial moto was that of The Three Musketeers [“All for one and one for all” – Ed.]. What happened to that?
