The Killings Continue:

We do not wish to give the impres­sion that one life is more impor­tant than the oth­er. We note how­ev­er with utter sad­ness and dis­gust, the killing of Norma-Lyn Hall, a senior lec­tur­er at Brown’s Town Community College, and her hus­band Stephen Hall. of Discovery Bay. Early reports sug­gest the cou­ple was mur­dered in their home and their bod­ies dumped in a sec­tion of the com­mu­ni­ty called lake side park, the police report­ed that the cou­ple’s sport util­i­ty vehi­cle was also miss­ing from their home. The police have since tak­en two per­sons into cus­tody in con­nec­tion with the killings. Having been involved in crim­i­nal Investigations in Jamaica, I am all too aware of how easy it is for peo­ple who play by the rules to lose their lives. This cou­ple prob­a­bly lost their lives for a few mate­r­i­al pos­ses­sions that in anoth­er coun­try would not even get a pass­ing glance. Not so in Jamaica, I am acute­ly aware of the per­va­sive envy that is now the norm in Jamaica, envy that is so tox­ic that it does not allow the envi­ous per­son to leave the vic­tim alive after tak­ing that per­son­’s prop­er­ty. The com­mon refrain is (dem bway de fe dead) that goes for any­one who work hard and acquired any­thing mate­r­i­al. The envy is so pal­pa­ble they do not care if they get any­thing when they kill their vic­tims .They sim­ply do not want you to enjoy what you have worked for. These seeds were plant­ed in the 1970’s . These are the bit­ter fruits of every­one must share what they have worked for , this is Jamaica.

The cou­ple has joined a long list of ordi­nary Jamaicans who have done what they were expect­ed to do, get an edu­ca­tion , stay in Jamaica , and give back, the con­se­quence ? .….…death. No one bats an eye no one cares, this is Jamaica the Serengeti where the weak gets eat­en by the preda­tors who kill for the sheer fun of it all. Those are the real­i­ties, there will be no law­suit , no demon­stra­tions by human rights advo­cates, their fam­i­lies will be left to grieve them with­out fan­fare. After all they are not mur­der­ers killed by police in shoot-outs, these were just ordi­nary Jamaicans who played by the rules. No nation­al hon­ors to be had here , so we will hear noth­ing from Carolyn Gomes and the oth­er bunch of lying Jezebels about human rights, this cou­ple had no right to life , only the depraved killing machines have a right to life in Jamaica , enhanced and sup­port­ed by their friends in Jamaicans for Justice. May God have mer­cy on the Halls , may he cause his face to shine upon them and give them peace , and may they find ever­last­ing rest and com­fort in his arms , we pray for them in Jesus name Amen.

While we pray we hold out no hope that the killers will get their just due, not in Jamaica, no way ‚My coun­try has been reduced to a joke. May God help us.
