Bruce the Traitor

It isn’t his unwillingness to do the right thing and resign his post as Prime Minister.

It isn’t his arrogance in defying the will of the people of this country.

It isn’t his supporters throwing their weight behind and obviously corrupt Prime Minister.

It isn’t about the fact that he lied to the people of this country.

Hell, Not even the fact that him tek we fi eediat, bout he acted as the head of the JLP and not the guvament.

It is that this man has pissed on the people who voted for him, pissed on the reputation (what’s left) of this country, pissed on all himself, pissed on you, and pissed on me, all for the sake of one shit house, battyhole, piece of shit, drug trafficking murderer inna Tivoli.

The Prime Minister has fucked over the country for political expediency, and now that his utter shame and disgrace is out in the open, further denigrates the office he clutches on to by not only refusing to resign but in displaying arrogance at defying the will of the very people he has betrayed.

This guvament which had never spared any opportunity to point out how corrupt the previous PNP admin was in their eighteen years at the helm, has seemingly, to all astonishment, eclipsed the fucked-upedness we endured for so long.

If you don’t agree with me, let me ask you, how much better does Portia look now compared to how you felt about her in 2007?

The revulsion you had for her has somewhat diminished hasn’t it?

…

What the hell does Dudus have over the JLP?

Why can’t the guvament do what it knows is right, and allow the criminal to be brought to justice?

…

Bruce has betrayed the people by lying to us, about the Mannat issue, he continues to betray the country by arrogantly refusing to apologize and resign, and ultimately bruce has betrayed any little trust the people of this country have ever had  in him as a person.

QUIT NOW ASSHOLE!

Time for a new election yet?

Short-sighted on how the global economic crisis would hurt Jamaica, proven to be nothing but a “bag a mout” on their boasts of being better able to run the country and proving yet again to valuing political power over the will of the people.

Are you excited yet?

So many out of work or have had their wages frozen while every striking thing gone up. How many of you subscribed to Audley’s pollyanic vision of how the global crisis would benefit Jamaica?

You are fools!

…

Everything they do, no matter how well intentioned, is done in the clumsiest manner possible, to be followed up by an even stupider explanation. You going to tell me that months of preparation of the budget and not one ninny noticed that they were using the wrong currency (USD not Euros) to calculate the estimates of expenditure?

How they deal with the various public sector groups with regards to wages is downright insulting, “Uptown/Downtown” not withstanding, these are the people you have to interact with, that you have to negotiate with, treat them with respect or be seen as a john crow.

…

Instead of doing the right things to guarantee that they get the support of the people and therefore stand a good chance at winning the next election, they instead shit on any remaining goodwill towards them and coddle the worst elements of the society.

As in past times when a major criminal dies and a funeral for the shithouse is held, I am quite positive that this time, members of the JLP will be featured at the funeral of the murdering, drug dealing scumbag Vivian Blake. Just like they were in attendance at Jim Brown’s good riddance affair.

Makes me sick to my stomach!

But you say: “Eediat, how you know dem really a go a de funeral?”
I say: “The dead fart was a very important member of the gang of criminals that Dudus now leads, and you know they don’t want to upset Dudus.”

We all would love for guvament to work as hard for us, to protect us from injustice as they are doing for that excrement that resides in West Kingston. Sorry I meant “PRESIDES FROM” West Kingston.

Left and right people losing their US visas. They say it’s not relate to Dudus but how much of us really believe  that?

It is a disgrace how quickly this guvament has pissed away what ever little respect this country had so that the Prime Minister does not risk losing the support of the only important  constituents in the country.

Some time ago, before he was commissioner of police, Lewin declared Tivoli the “mother of all garrisons”, the then in opposition JLP cried foul and demanded a retraction of the statement. Fast-forward to now, the JLP is doing everything possible to prove the accuracy of Lewin’s words.

There is none greater than Tivoli and the President of Tivoli would be very displeased with having to answer for his crimes, and as such dispatched the Prime Minister to seek every means possible to block the US from trying him.

You and me know that we will NEVER get this level of support from our guvament, unless of course we form a gang, tek ova a constituency, mek it a garrison, kill nuff people, ship nuff drugs and see to it the residents in the garrison vote in unison for the party of our choice, of course by bribing them with money and food procured from our illicit activities.

…

One last question, For the people that take money and food from Dons/area leaders and their ilk, what are you going to say when it’s your child that gets murdered by the thugs of the same people whose ill-gotten money you gorging on?

Justice Takes A Backseat

Regardless if one believes that former Junior Minister of Energy, Kern Spencer, is guilty, there is one thing you all should realize; Rodney Chin, repentant co-conspirator or damned liar, is tainted as a witness.

There is no way that the testimony of a man who received 200 million dollars in contracts from the guvament, shortly after becoming the main witness for the prosecution, can be fully and wholeheartedly accepted by any sensible person.

There may not have been any laws broken, despite no provisions for it in the laws of Jamaica, but at its most basic, it smell wrong. Everyday in this world there are very wrong things done, yet are not illegal, but violates the trust that people foster in those individuals or institutions.

Rodney Chin can not be trusted, not anymore.

If they go ahead with this, then the “Justice” clamored for regularly on the nightly news, will not be gracing this island anytime soon.

…

The DPP’s refusal to disclose all surrounding their deal stinks also. If there was nothing to hide, nothing to cover up, then give the defense what they have requested and get on with the damned trial. Let his guilt be made clear, if he is in fact guilty, but just let it be over with quickly.

…

Paula Llewellyn seems as if she starting to let her power get to her head, soon enough Bruce will have to axe her.

Can’t wait.

Who Will Save Bruce From The Bullies?

Funny how the Prime Minister can declare that the guvament will not be bullied. Hilarious when you look at recent interviews with him wherein he threatened to cut jobs if the guvament paid workers don’t stop demanding their contractually agreed on pay increase. Hell how he denied teachers their back pay with the lament; “We don’t have the money!”.

Congratulations on being flexible enough to repeal some of the stupid tax measures recently introduced, we know it hard, we know you need as much money as possible to get on with the business of the country.

However I would like to ask the guvament this: We don’t have any money you say, but you can find the money for not one or two labor day projects but three, how come?

Also, do you not think it looks very suspicious  that these projects are in constituencies where the members of parliament are facing challenges to their citizenship, and by extension their right to sit in parliament, will probably face a buy-election (like the well purchased one Vaz won), and are all JLP?

…

You don’t have the money to pay teachers, police or civil servants, but to help protect your slim majority in parliament, you will find it to fund your pork barreled endeavours.

You will not be bullied!

No one in your circle of friends could ever survive on the pittance you pay the police, yet you demand they do.

You will not be bullied!

In the event of police “industrial action”, you have the military on stand-by. I suppose your intent is to have somebody safeguarding law and order, but it sounds more of a veiled threat to the police.

You will not be bullied!

You raise taxes, freeze wages, threaten to cut jobs (which you are still going to do) in order to get the underpaid people  to back down, to “tek wha dem get”.

You will not be bullied!

Meanwhile, rumblings in the Ministry of Mining and Energy are that James the Foul-Mouthed is busy cleaning house, kicking people out of their jobs to fill them with party loyalists.

He will not be bullied!

Traitor-to-the-trade-unions has declared war on gangs, declaring that “Gangs must be crushed!”.

We would love it if he indeed was not bullied, and that he does what he sets out to do, but since the bullies in the JCF won’t get their pay then it is difficult to see how much if any lasting effect your plans will have on crime in this country.

The guvament is going to ask these very underpaid men and women to risk their lives, even more than they currently do to fix the crime in society.

If I was a member of the constabulary I would quit.

$40,000 a month is not enough to face violent gangs, not enough to help my family, now, or if I die in the line of duty. Not enough to ensure my dedication to the job.

In fact, it is just the right amount at which the criminal element  may successfully bribe me.

…

The criminals “bully” the country, the people who should be “bullying” the criminals are being “bullied” by Bruce, which makes us all buggered.

Hijack

I am sure people are going to lose their jobs for letting the gunman get on the plane, even after he was detected while still inside the terminal.

Armed security personnel were not usually in the terminal. This is an internationally accepted practice.

If this is indeed not the result of security personnel failing to carry out their duties then no one should lose their job.

But measures will clearly now have to be tightened up, maybe have armed security in the terminals. That is fine, because one would say why this wasn’t the case already, but you know that in order to save face or to make it seem as if they were doing something about it people are going to be fired.

Either Bruce  going to demand resignations or the operators of the airport will go about ‘punishing’ the ‘incompetent’ people for being ‘lackadaisical’ in their duty.

…

Great to see the situation resolved with no one dying, can’t be said for the other people murdered over the weekend, in the same parish.

But, Jamaica’s rep gets another knife wound to its belly, sigh.

I can imagine now how the American news media will start producing reports on what is wrong with Jamaica, regurgitating the drug dealers from the eighties, that mad man from the train, and all the violence and murders happening now, twisting the above mentioned knife some more.

…

Please could someone tell Bruce to give the Information portfolio back to Babsy? On CNN this morning, Daryl Vaz displayed his basic school level of competency with the English language. No, there are youngsters more capable of conveying information than that man was capable of.

Embarrassing.

Babsy has proven to be much more capable of imparting information than this heavy-tongued oafish-sounding man.

 

Wild Wild West?

We have lost our damned minds!

Why is it considered a legitimate response to crime, to arm the populace?

Even men of the cloth, those bible thumping megalomaniacs, are now calling for the ‘good’ citizens to be allowed firearms of their own, to protect them, their property and loved ones.

This tells me a few things:

1. We have abandoned any faith, or belief, in this guvament’s ability, and perhaps their desire, to quell the obviously out of control crime that plagues and depresses the nation daily.
2. That we can’t trust in the law enforcement to do their job, that we should now take matters into our own hands. The seeming incompetence or is it complicity that the police show to law breakers (all them buses that drive like is dem one on de roads, without a care for passengers’ lives), has now, put in the minds of the very ones who preach about the blessedness of the peacemakers, the thought that it’s better we all get to shoot it out ourselves.
3. These men of the cloth obviously have no faith in what they preach. Why should the rest of us.
4. If we all get firearms, Madden’s and BriteLite a go mek a bag ah money! Simple. The number of accidental, “mi did tink a gunman” , “ I was cleaning the gun”, incidents will skyrocket, and every night will be like New Years, with the constant gunfire putting us to sleep.

Scared people react irrationally, they don’t think in times of stress, Instead they react by either running away, or lashing out wildly. Giving these people a gun is only going to give the already stretched beyond their means police much more paperwork, wasting the time they could be using to tackle crime.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….

Can’t believe I said that.

Ahem, what I meant was that It would distract them from what they SHOULD be doing.

…

There has been some defending the meager 5% crime reduction target the authorities have set for themselves, why?

Granted any reduction in violent crime will be most welcomed by all Jamaicans, but they must see where 5% is a a very low expectation. Now I not saying that they must make fairy tale targets, not at all, fairy tales are for Audley and Ed to spew, it’s just that 5% will hardly put a dent in criminal endeavors, not to mention, that the levels of crime ebb and flow of its own accord  regularly, and that this 5% might just happen with no further effort from the police.

Five percent is just not reassuring at all.

…

I wonder how many bad drivers would get shot if more of us had guns?

Bruce Sad

Bruce dissatisfied with his guvament’s handling of crime.

Ah nuh him one!

Admitting that they are ineffective is a nice thing to do. Acknowledging your ineptitude is a step forward that all Jamaicans should cheer.

However, I am quite sure that during the campaign for the election, the JLP, as part of their promises, repeatedly made the point that they had a great plan to tackle crime in this country.

Where is that plan?

Dem laas it?

Or dem dash it weh?

Why would they do that?

Was their don/community leader friends objecting to some of the more stronger recommendations?

Was it not good enough?

Or did it just not exist, like all the fairy tale pronouncements this guvament seems to spew regularly?

Last year they revealed “bold” new measures to tackle crime, however, most sensible people saw where it was lacking in the prevention of crime and served only to punish those caught.

The problem remains, dem haffi ketch dem first!

I see no plans geared towards that.

…

So, while its refreshing to see  them admit their impotence, people are dying at more than four a day.

DO SOMETHING ALREADY!

Or call elections so we can kick your ass out!

Wait is the same set a eediat dem pon de other side too.

 

Shithouse!

Me Don’t Cuss Badwud Neither!

There he was laying the groundwork  to expose possible corrupt police activity, making accusations that the man who allegedly engaged the police in a shootout was taken out because he was integral to plans to expose the dastardly behaviour of some in the St. Thomas police, and then he shit all over it with his claims that he doesn’t swear.

Then he proved himself a liar when he added that when his friends hear him swear it’s more a humorous affair because he mispronounces the words.

…

So he doesn’t do it.

But when he does do it, its funny.

Oh how i would hate for the children of this country to adopt his brand of humour.

…

Him tek people fi facking eediat.

See, I seh it funny too.

Seems the break in the Christmas  is over,  as we are back to the weekly preckeh the guvament seems to excel at.

sigh…

I want A Big Allowance Too!

Gordon-Webley gets 20% of what the NSWMA saves from its cost cutting measures.

WOW!

…

WOW!

…

WOW!

…

Shouldn’t that money go back to the guvament, in light of how their recently announced stimulus package is going to make the guvament cash-strapped?

Some of these salaries and allowances as announced in parliament on Tuesday (December 16), is very unfair to the lowest paid workers in guvament. Some of what these people earn barely qualifies as 10% of the top salaries.

Sick.

…

Anyhow, dem haffi fatten dem fren pockets.

What’ll Be Next Week’s Scandal?

Sigh.

I was only making light of the guvament and their seemingly weekly embarrassments. But following so closely on the heels of last week’s JUTC revelations, Hibbert’s problems seem to be following a schedule.

Nothing may come of it, but it is another thing that supporters of the current guvament will have to weather. No amount of pointing out how much worse the previous guvament was will help them, as the frequency of these embarrassments is a bit overwhelming, giving you no time to properly digest the one before.

Anyway, I hope nothing wrong was done.

Really I do.

This country doesn’t need a worsening of the shitstorm we are already in.

Bwoy(s) A Yard!

Number 1.

What a way the man a yaad haffi backtrack on the increased interest rates?

Eediat!

If you say that raising the interest rate is necessary to keep the economy afloat or even to improve the economic outlook, that’s fine.

But if you are going to take it back as soon as people gripe about the increase then it says to me that your original decision was a hasty, un-researched one that you pulled out of your ass, and the reason given was a lie!

And I bet Audley nor the guvament is going to understand the logic.

Who cares?

It is quite obvious to those with sense that these people have no clue as to governance, good or bad, but damn they still campaigning and not as good as they were before the elections.

…

The next Bwoy is the prime Bruce himself.

After coldly dismissing the PSC last year and pretty much accusing them of violating protocol, and being very adamant and forthright with the accusations and their firing, he now settles out of court  when they bring forward a lawsuit to restore their besmirched integrity.

Did the crow taste good Bruce?

 

Man, Sangster is a bitter bitch!

…

Bwoy #3.

Trevor.

Trevor, Trevor, Trevor.

You just over deh a warm de seat, don’t it?

I am sure you feel good after your speech the other night but it was not much comfort to the residents of Gravel Heights and the many other good citizens who have also been forcibly removed from their homes.

Ok, the good people have been run out, means that is only the gunman dem lef’ in deh, so what dat means is:

a) The police and military can now surround the area.

b) Announce their presence and demand everybody still in the community to put down their guns and surrender by a certain time.

c) If not, the security forces move in and shoot the lot of them.

Not too hard, right?

Sure Gomes and her bredrin dem a go feel a way, but remember you work for the people of this country and not  the special interest groups. Those people who worked so hard to build their lives and now have to abandon it, I can pretty much guarantee that right now, they are wondering where is the justice for them, what about their human rights.

…

The 4th Bwoy.

Mike!

How you feel now that it is revealed you threw a state funeral (while cheapening it at the same time) for a man now revealed to be a crook and no good?

Before you say, that at the time you didn’t know about his shady character, you should have asked the employees of the JUTC what sort of person he was.

Hell many were happy to see him murdered.

But you wouldn’t know this because you all, are oblivious as to what is going on at street level.

…

Bwoy of the Fifth.

Pickersgill, thank you for doing your work as the opposition to press for investigations into the JUTC’s shady dealings, but mek me ask Yuh sumting, why de rass when you was in guvament you never was as vigilant on corruption?

Right now Yuh is a rass hypocrite.

How unnoo so blind when unnoo inna power but Yuh eye dem get perfect when Yuh inna opposition?

But I shouldn’t be surprised, both sides do dem job when dem in opposition but get blind as dem get inna guvament.

…

Assorted bwoys.

Daryl. Constitutionally you are to give up the seat. But mi understand, Bruce never liked the Jamaican constitution one bit.

Abe. A by-election not go hurt anybody. In fact if you do win it (good possibility as the approval rating of the JLP stinks) then nobody can say shit like: “you used the courts to get seat”.

Clive. It looks like the small majority the JLP have in parliament is what is keeping you in your ministry, hush.

Mark Wignall. Perhaps you should let Clovis know how things really look bad for the guvament so he can start lampooning them too, Butch be damned!

Me (We). I thank God I do not own a gun (even though Wignall says we should all have one) because some people need a shot or two. But I am an eediat too as are most Jamaicans, who don’t scream loudly enough, who don’t protest enough, who cower in the safety of anonymity, while our country goes to shit. We say that is for the sake of our loved ones that we keep our heads down, that it’s for their benefit.

Sure, in the short term.

But if we continue to allow the criminals and the guvament (both major parties, NDM is only a gathering) to screw us over like this, then in the long run we a go get jook!

Raise my children or put a target on my back, tough decision.

These should not be the only choice we have!

…

GREG CHRISTIE FOR PRESIDENT!

Ok.

Fine.

Jamaican constitution doesn’t allow for a president, but damn if it isn’t a most welcome sign to see someone actually carrying out their duty as described under the law.

Exposing the shady dealings at the JUTC, when the guvament has been most unfriendly to anyone who calls them out on matters of state, is much more than brave, it is honourable.

Come this morning (the 1st of December) we now hear that Mike Henry, Minister of Transport, is going to ask the Attorney General to investigate the Office of Contractor General for how the report was delivered to him.

Yuh see dis rass?!

More upset with how the report was delivered than the shady dealings described in the report, WTF?!?

Why?

Why are they threatening now to kill the messenger?

Is the Minister’s involvement deeper than first suspected?

I thought Bruce and the gang were anti-corruption?

instead they threaten people who expose the shady dealings happening under their watch.

…

Corruption happens when seemingly well meaning people turn a blind eye or excuse the seemingly little stuff.

Corruption happens when the people in charge believe that the previous set were more corrupt than they and so in terms of degree of corruption, since they are not as bad then they must not be corrupt.

Corruption happens when you will excuse your party for the same wrongs they other party did, by claiming the others “t’ief more!”

…

The PNP were scandal ridden, and man did they have their fair share of shady deals, but now the JLP must be trying to outdo them, as it is almost guaranteed that one new scandal a week will rear its ugly head.

…

The new report by the OCG implicates former head of the JUTC, Chambers.

Could the reason Mike Henry be so upset is that the rumours of Mr. Chambers being his son in law are true?

Or is it now embarrassment that they held a state funeral for a crook?

…But What Do The Dons Have To Say?

Now that our elected officials have voted their “conscience” to keep the death penalty, what do the many “dons”/area leaders have to say about it?

Consider that the Minister of National Security and the Minister of Labour have both come out in favour of the criminals themselves having a say in the long delayed, oft quarrelsome, long ago promised and seemingly stalled crime plan.

Are the “dons” going to now give their full support to whatever the final plans are, as hanging is definitely still on the cards?

Will we, the regular law-abiding(for the most part) people, now be faced with even more delays of the pretty toothless plan, because the “dons” nuh inna de hangin’ ting?

Will the eediat ministers see how stupid it was to even suggest that criminals should get the chance to determine aspects of the law, at a time when our wish, the wish of the people of Jamaica, is to be rid of these parasites once and for all?

…

 

 

p.s.

yes Clovis!

We get it!

Portia was absent for the vote, when her backside should have been there! We naah go vote fi har if snap election run, but you must admit Bruce dem a mek all Mark Wignall have doubts!

 

How about cartoons lampooning:

The contract awarded to Rodney Chin’s company? One would think they’d want to avoid possible embarrassment.

Or the long delayed report on the sand theft? Why still so much silence in the matter?

The JTB shenanigans? Firing the board appointing their friend to head the board and direct tourism?

The fairy tale, la la land that Audley must live in? The economy is going to get hit hard!

The twenty-four million dollar an acre land deal with their political sister in the Hydel deal? You have to admit the reasons given the changing story and that their friend got a hefty sum does look fishy.

“… What Fiscal Responsibility?”

Just over halfway in the fiscal year, and the island’s parish councils have already burned thru 90% of their budget?

Ok, I’ll give them that the rise in the cost of oil and food and other commodities and utilities most definitely affected the budget, but as I said from long time, Audley screwed up.

The obviously weak and inadequate budget tabled by Audley in April with no provisions for inflation, when all indications were that what they proposed would be inadequate. With the ambitious plans the guvament laid out, it was obvious to me that those same plans would require a far greater expenditure than the “man ah yard” planned for.

What else is now obvious is that the parish councils, the greater majority of them JLP, must have thought that since is their party in guvament, then it meant dollars haffi run fi dem.

Unexpected increases in salaries and travelling allowances? Is wha’ dem a do? Gi dem Frien’ an’ company work?

Again, no planning.

If they were going to increase their quotient of staff members, why wasn’t it requested in the budget?

Where are they “travelling” to? How many in their entourage? Are all these hangers on necessary for these “trips”?

…

Why is it that the public is being asked to tighten their belts, band their bellies and have faith in the “miracles” that Bruce will soon work, while the guvament ministers and parish councilors get to live the high life?

The guvament can’t expect the people to have any faith in what they say, when they themselves ignore the fiscal responsibility they expect us to practice.

…

These parish councils must be made to “tuff” it out until the next fiscal year.

They must tighten THEIR belts, and learn to live without, like every other Jamaican.

But me jus’ a waste mi breathe don’t it?

Sigh…

JPS Tek People fi Eediat

Back before the sky high oil prices, my light bill was about six to seven thousand dollars per month. At the peak of the high oil prices, my bill more than doubled, having me now pay fifteen thousand or more a month.

Oil is now far below half of what it was at its peak, yet JPS is telling me they only going to reduce my bill by only 10%?

WHAT THE FUCK?!

WHY!?

Why can’t the reduction in my bill be more indicative of the drop in oil prices?

Why when it was going up the reason given was that the cost of oil was going up, but now that the price has fallen it a go tek it own sweet time going down?

…

IF the guvament cared about the people of this country they…

 

 

Can’t finish that question.

They do not care.

How Come … Again.

WOW! Oil Prices sure have fallen dramatically.

Less than half of what it cost at its peak.

Every week the prices at the pump dropping by almost four dollars, SWEET!

In the last two weeks alone the price has dropped by almost 8 dollars  a litre, AMAZING!

 

When the oil prices shot up, JPS told us that our electricity bills would go up to reflect the rise in the cost of fuel.

Ok, we said.

We understand.

But…

Now that the price of oil is down, now that the cost per barrel is about half what it was at its peak, WHY THE HELL HAS MY LIGHT BILLS NOT GONE DOWN?

WHY IS IT NOW PERMANENTLY FIXED AT TWICE WHAT IT WAS BEFORE THE HIGH OIL PRICES?

Really? The fuel costs less now, so why aren’t my fuel charges lower? why do they not reflect the drop in the cost of oil per barrel?

How Come?

…

Any argument regarding power generation equipment being responsible for the electricity bills not going down is BULLSHIT!

When the costs went up our bills went up.

When asked why, it was because the cost of oil went up.

The equipment is the same, I have heard nothing of equipment changes, and equipment concerns were never factored into the costs before.

Sssoooooo… logically, the price of oil drops below 50% then our light bill should drop significantly as well.

Right?

Right?

Any excuse is UTTER BULLSHIT!

…

On the radio this morning there was the story of two JPS employees that were arrested for accepting bribes from an electricity thief, and they indeed ought to be arrested. But then the JPS spokes person went on to say that it is policy for any employee that engages in illegal activity to be handed over to the law.

Made me laugh.

As far as I am concerned, the JPS has been robbing me blind with their price gouging with the ridiculous 41 day billing cycle, the cost of electricity that will never go back down according to current trends, including how they themselves did not pay their fuel charges.

All of them should be locked up too, every last one.

…

Ahh… pipe dreams…

Sigh…

 

Heard the news on the radio.

Saw the news on TV.

read the newspapers.

And this morning while in the shower I heard at least 60 rounds of ammunition being fired.

…

Maybe Reneto had the right approach.

Maybe…

Is It Serious Enough For You Now?

While the politicians continue to joke it out, while the Editorial cartoonists continue to mislead on the stance of human rights organizations, while most of us just accept it as to how the “worl’ a run”, while others of us cower amidst the pews of our churches and news of the US financial crash dominate even our headlines, the stomach churning butchering of our people continues unabated.

Now the realization that our children are major players in this problem is sucking the very last breath out of us all.

But Bruce and crew can continue to pretend that his “measures” will do anything to curtail the slaughter, and while they waste time in making them official, real useful measures will never be brought to the table.

Sigh…

p.s. Many in the police are part of the problem too, so giving them extra judicious power may only exacerbate the problems we now face.

…

Commencing the hair pulling…

Caution! Children at Play

So they have no intention of taking the matter of dealing with the crime in this country seriously, The ol’ big mout’ bwoy won’t behave him self, and the big mout’ gyal ah rude to everybody with an opinion different from hers, and half head a gwaan like him beleive seh the more him raise him voice the more his views will be accepted.

1. If you can’t keep in mind what you are discussing at that time then write it down or have someone else take your place n the committee. This way you can stop disturb the proceedings and more time will be spent in serious discussion in the matter.
2. If KD was allowed to just finish his question, all you would have to do then is say we will address the question soon enuff. It wouldn’t have degraded into what it did. And right after that you went in to trying to publicly humiliate him. Why? Like him or not you do have to work with him to solve the matter of crime in our society. The less of this, the more time will be spent in serious discussion in the matter.
3. Shouting your point in hopes that people will see your point of view is pointless as most tend to ignore loud jackasses, get offended at being hollered at, and be seen as an attempt to rush things thru. It only makes u look like the loudest donkey. The less of this, the more time will be spent in serious discussion in the matter.

But don’t mind me I only pay my taxes.

Abnormal Times, Abnormal Action?

I agree, the crime in our society is abnormal, excessively so, but why must our official response to it threaten our very freedoms and rights as citizens of this country?

Granted we need to do something to tackle the problem and while most Jamaicans would agree to that, not everyone is on-board when the reaction infringes on our rights.

And we done know that these measures will be applied excessively on the common people, the poorer people and not on the wealthier people, driving costlier vehicles and living in more prestigious neighborhoods. We know this is coming, in fact it’s already here, done every day. Just watch the news to see how many people are already being slaughtered by the police.

Oh, and Trevor, not because you are Minister does it mean that because you want it a certain way means it should go a certain way, talking down to the people, with a disdainful tone is insulting.
