Joe I have just read your short story
It is brutal to say the least
It is just black and white
The developers the planning committees
Are portrayed as the bad guys
They are assassinated in cold blood
Without any mercy being shown
They were the bad guys Rob
But was direct action the only option
One of my characters Charlotte
Answers this question quite clearly
After her arrest and detention
She notes that those who were assassinated
Were given a clear option
That being
Stop now abandon your plans
Plead guilty to your crimes
The bribes and the corruption
Or you will suffer the consequences
Then why were the STAN gang finally caught
Because they had made people think
People now realised the truth
If STAN had carried on
Then it would have lost its strength
Even before the government minister was killed
There were cracks appearing
That is why Charlotte is caught
After being betrayed
By a member of the gang
