Faber then touched on crime, lamenting how after 4 murders in one weekend, neither the police commissioner nor the Minister of Home Affairs has called a press conference. He added that he knew one of the victims who was innocently gunned down.

"I was right there when we would have one murderous weekend and then after that the prime minister moves into action, he would go up at Raccoon Street where all the water is raining through right now and there would be a press conference and the prime minister would address the nation with the full top brass of the police. I don't know if it is because the police no longer has a top brass that the minister, well you've heard is… and we make the call before we go any further that Mr Mira must go because he is completely impotent at crime."
"He doesn't have any agenda on fighting crime, he's not concerned about these folks who have been killed, none at all."
"This young man Erick Nelson, 25 years old. I know Erick because Erick goes to St John's Cathedral with me every Sunday Erick is in the Cathedral with his wife and his young child. This isn't no criminal, this is a person who was wearing a red shirt in blue territory. And what does Mr Mira have to say to Erick's family? In fact you know in the cathedral there's new monitor and PTZ cameras and the week before he died he came to me at the end of the service and said Mr Faber I want to learn because I want to be able to help on Sundays mornings to operate the cameras and the TV monitors. Erick was no criminal."
