Amnesty International, needs to understand one thing. Arm robbery was never a crime, Liberians were familiar with during the pre-war days. This was due to the dealth penalty. Now, we Liberians are seing communities all over the country traumatized by this barbaric crime being commited againt peaceful citizens and foreignors as well. This is a war against Human dignity. In the U.S where I live, people are put to dealth in some cases for Arm robbery. In Liberia, we can not use money that should be use to build schools, roads, health facilities and help eleviate poverty on prisons. We can not afold so much prisons for people who waste acid water on their victims. It remains me of the civil war.

It is time the president, Senators and house of Representatives take this bill seriously, and pass it. After all, what works in Europe, may not work in Liberia or America.

All Liberian should do all they can to protect their family from Arm robbers because Amnest International is benefiting from the blood of the Liberian people that is being share by Arm robbers. Liberian should Kill any Arm robbers before the police can get there. President Sirleaf should protect the citizens of from all crimes
