The community is doing nothing to stop gun violence spiralling out of control as every murder triggers “the same predictable reaction”.This is the view of community activist Gina Spence who has spoken out about “the need for drastic change” after losing two relatives to gun crime in just over a year.She is fed up with police officers, Government and members of the public reacting in the same “tried and tested way” whenever someone is murdered on our streets.Ms Spence says “the same chain of events” includes the police hosting a press conference, the Government offering their condolences and a candlelit vigil to remember the gun victim.Although she insists she is not criticising these actions, she does believe “something drastically different has to be done” as the shooters know what to expect.Ms Spence is now hoping to meet new National Security Minister Wayne Perinchief to put forward her recommendations on how to tackle crime.Her priority is to campaign for a ban on tinted helmet visors so that criminals can no longer hide their identity.Ms Spence, who has worked in the prisons and streets for more than 30 years, said: “I’m very concerned that everyone reacts in the same way to every shooting.“There’s this certain approach we take, we took the same approach for murder one as we did for murder 19. We just re-hash it with a different victim’s name.“This is doing nothing to deter these guys. They know what our reaction is going to be, they have seen it so many times before.“Things have become too predictable, no one is as surprised or shocked anymore, it’s just become a chain of events.”Ms Spence says allowing only helmets with clear visors to be worn in Bermuda would “create an immediate challenge”. She also suggests a national day of mourning where Premier Paula Cox could urge the Country to change its ways and a new emergency response team could be set up for families to get counselling.Ms Spence says these “small solutions will make a big difference”.She said: “We have to bring in change. We have to do something drastically different, something they are not expecting.“We have to make it absolutely uncomfortable for them. Then if we change the way we react, they will hopefully change their actions.”Ms Spence’s son-in-law James ‘Junior’ Lawes, 26, was shot outside Place’s Place on Dundonald Street, Pembroke on March 21 last year. He had been married to Greashena Spence-Lawes, Ms Spence’s daughter, for just four months.Then Ms Spence’s great-nephew Randy Robinson, 22, was shot dead as he walked along Border Lane in Pembroke. His murder took place on Thursday, March 31 Ms Spence’s daughter’s birthday.Ms Spence said she didn’t even know the shooting victim was her great-nephew until she went to the scene and people started offering their condolences.Ms Spence said: “It’s just shocking, I couldn’t believe it when I saw it was Randy. I saw his body lying there. I just screamed and cried out to God.“It’s been hard for the family, really hard. There are no words really. We don’t want any retaliation attacks, we just want peace.”Ms Spence said the police were doing their best but said the community had to come together and be proactive.She said: “We have to get a grip on things. I believe it’s going to get worse before it gets better.“But the community has to be called upon to do more, there is strength in numbers.“There is a real level of boldness among the people who are doing these shootings. They are shooting people in broad daylight in busy areas. They aren’t scared of anyone or anything.“How many murders are we going to have to see before the situation changes?”
