Hundreds of people yesterday gathered in heavy rain at the graveside of gun murder victim Stefan Burgess where mourners vowed to turn out in force in a public show of support for social community action against gun violence in Bermuda.But community activist Scott Smith, who has ministered at the gravesides of 12 murder victims in the past two years, went one step further at Mr Burgess’ graveside yesterday, saying: “I called on the hundreds gathered at the burial to literally call their bosses first thing Friday morning.“I want them to call their bosses Friday morning and tell them you won’t be at work at ten this morning because we have something more pressing to do.“The time is up for talking, I’m looking to galvanise real action and I’m expecting at least two hundred people to be there. And I’m calling the members of this community just hearing of this to come out and show your support.“Six hundred teachers gathered and marched up Front Street to the Cabinet Building over money I’m asking for the same thing over lives.”Mr Burgess, a 24-year-old father of one was gunned down at a home on Glebe Road, in Pembroke, marking the first murder this year.Mr Smith, has been vocal on the damaging effects of murder and violent deaths in addition to the massive impact on Bermuda’s social fabric.“Any murder is one too many,” he said. “But this time, parents, relatives, family and friends have vowed to make their pain publicly known by showing up Friday morning on the steps of City Hall.”Mr Smith is now urging community residents fed up with the senseless killings in a small country like Bermuda to stand together against violent crime, particularly gun violence to make their presence known.The ultimate goal “is to take social action instead of just talk”. “We’re not just here this time around to just come behind the headlines, and just show our faces for five minutes.“This time we’re going to galvanise social community action until we see something done. This is a community problem and it will take more than just a few of us, we need all of us.”When asked for his view on what the community group could do, he simply asked: “How many more young black men will have to die before we actually really do something.“Besides talking what are we really doing, we just talk too much. I am tired of looking through the tear stained eyes of mothers and family members of these victims, which is motivating me to take action.“And you will be seeing more of us.
