Is this what we can expect?

Is this really the measure of the kind of help we can expect from our emergency services if we should find ourselves unfortunate enough to be victims of violent crime?

Whichever way you look at it, they were either incompetent or the answer to the above question is yes.

As David Carr says, by the time the emergency services got to the victims:

…there was definitely no risk to life because the victims were no longer alive.

And if they would not put themselves in danger to help these women what can the rest of us expect?

A disgrace. What a tragic disgrace.
