IMeya yaseTampa uJane Castor ubukele phansi ukukhetha kwakhe umphathi wamaphoyisa ngenqubo yokukhetha esusa noma yimuphi umbono womphakathi.Kungakho uMkhandlu Wedolobha LaseTampa, obekumele uqinisekise noma yikuphi ukuqokwa, uphushe kanzima ngoLwesine, futhi kungani kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umphumela waba yini, akekho ophumelele.
Kule nyanga, uCuster uqoke uMary O'Connor ukuthi ahole uMnyango Wamaphoyisa aseTampa, lapho achitha khona iminyaka engu-22 ekhuphuka ngezikhundla ngaphambi kokuthatha umhlalaphansi njengomsizi wenduna ngo-2016. Ukuqokwa kwakhe kuphawule into eyodwa: U-O'Connor ubethemba bobabili uCuster, owayephethe umnyango. ngaphambi kokuba aqokwe njengomeya, kanye no-John Bennett, umphathi wabasebenzi bemeya, omunye owayengumsizi wenhloko yamaphoyisa.Ukungabi bikho kwezinto obala kwenza kube nzima ukukuqonda.
Ihhovisi likameya lifuna ukholwe ukuthi u-O'Connor ukhethwe “njengongcono kakhulu futhi ohlakaniphe kunabo bonke” ocwaningweni lukazwelonke oluveze abanye ababili abafinyelele kowamanqamu: UKhomishana Wesikhashana u-Ruben “Butch” Delgado kanye Nomsizi Omkhulu Wamaphoyisa aseMiami uCheris Goss.Kodwa akakwazi ukusho ukuthi ubani noma bangaki abanye abacatshangelwayo, noma achaze inqubo yokubuyekeza, ebukeka ishintshashintsha kakhulu nsuku zonke.
Ezivivinyweni zokulalelwa kweziphakamiso zokuqokwa kuka-O'Connor, amalungu ebhodi ngoLwesine ethule uBennett inqubo yokusesha abese ethi ivaliwe, ichemile futhi inamaphutha amakhulu.Kusazobhekwa ukuthi lezi zikhalo ezisemthethweni zizogcina ziholele yini ekunqatshweni kokuqokwa.Kodwa akekho ongavikela usesho olufake umcimbi owodwa osesidlangalaleni kuphela futhi abaphumelele babambe izethameli zokumema kuphela.Ingabe lena yifilosofi yemeya yokubeka izinto obala?
Amalungu amaningi ebhodi athe ancamela iDelgado, nakuba kungakacaci ukuthi abazofinyelela kowamanqamu bazolethani etafuleni uma kubhekwa imfihlo ethintekayo.Kungani laba baphathi bekhethe ngokuxhamazela kuwukuqagela kwanoma ubani.Isizathu esifanayo esenze ukuthi angazihluphi ngokuqeda izabelo ezidingekayo ukuze anqume ukuthi ngubani ozofinyelela kowamanqamu.
Ngakho-ke njengoba lowo ongenele ukhetho elimele, inketho yesibili - iDelgado - ididekile, futhi imeya nomkhandlu baqhubeka nokufaka ipolitiki esikhundleni somphathi wamaphoyisa.Sitshele ngesiqephu somlilo esinobungani.
Konke lokhu kungagwenywa ngohlelo lokusebenzisana olukhombisa amandla eMeya okuqoka izinduna namandla omkhandlu okunikeza imvume.Njengamanje, umnyango obaluleke kakhulu wedolobha usenkabeni yombango wezikhundla oqinisekile ukuthi uzodlula noma yiliphi ivoti lokuqinisekisa emasontweni ezayo.
