Now, while Kelvin is home, and he does not face criminal charges - still there's a lot of anger out there - and its directed at the GSU and the Government.
Today, for example, a march for peace - that had been planned yesterday - was still held in Belize City. And right now, there is an ongoing vigil at the Battlefield Park. We asked the Prime Minister how much of this is fuel by resentment for the government of the day:...

"Are you concern, because I am told they still intend to have a march and vigil this evening, that there is so much built up resentment for your government that does not have any means of expression that it has all coalesce behind this issue which even though the issue has now been vacated, the groundswell remains. People want to go out and protest."
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"Well that's one way of looking at it. Another is that while undoubtedly there are matters that vex the populist and in any administration there will always be matters that vex the populist. Absent something like this to light that sort of a spark, I don't think you would have seen the taking to the streets that we saw. I really believe that this was such a hugely incendiary issue that it did what no other issue certainly that extant, that is now in focus could have done."
