More rough news. Still, it cannot keep me from partying

On a more serious note, RIP to the police volunteer who died.

One has to wonder exactly what the "Police Volunteer" and "Sub-District Chief" were doing "investigating ... multiple cases of theft" and "confronting" the group by themselves - and subsequently shooting two of them dead, with the Police volunteer also being shot dead.
