One of the prob­lems fac­ing our coun­try is the inabil­i­ty of peo­ple to think out­side the box, or even allow them­selves to enter­tain oth­er ideas out­side the opin­ions they ini­tial­ly formed on any range of sub­ject mat­ters.
We form opin­ions, and noth­ing else will change what we made our­selves believe, facts become mere points to be countered.

In a September 24^th, 2018 Jamaica Observer Article titled: Railway Corp sup­ports devel­op­ment of Kendal crash site, Chairperson for the Kendal Crash Committee at the Municipal Corporation, Angella Edwards, said that the vision is that vis­i­tors to the pro­posed memorial/​recreational park will be able to park their vehi­cles and take a rail car to the area.

Not a bad idea for an actu­al area where vis­i­tors to a shrine could hon­or the dead who fate­ful­ly lost their lives in that hor­ri­ble crash. But why are Jamaicans so pre­oc­cu­pied with parks?
So I flip­pant­ly wrote the fol­low­ing in response to the [park sug­ges­tion]

ME
Memorial/​recreational park !!!
In oth­er words, build a park for sound-sys­tems to blare and semi-nude bod­ies to gyrate.
Why not?
Nothing trumps the need to be enter­tained, not even a solemn event as the Kendal crash.

Like bait on a line, it did not take long for one par­tic­u­lar fish to take me on indi­rect­ly.

Castleton Gardens & Emancipation Park are recre­ation­al parks and I don’t see what you describe there. Why would you think that the Kendal site would be dif­fer­ent?Ahitschoo ah kun­tri it deh?

No dear­est, the idea of a recre­ation­al park is okay, but in a trag­ic event like the Kendal train crash in which over two hun­dred peo­ple lost their lives in that sin­gle event don’t you think that a mon­u­ment is more fitting?

Nikanta JamaicanDawta • 
Nikanta speak­ing to me through some­one else.

I was at a loss when I read the com­ment too was too dumb­struck to respond. Because my thought is that this thing should have been con­cep­tu­al­ize decades ago. At the time when this occurred it was the worst train dis­as­ter of that time with over 200 per­sons los­ing their lives dozens of fam­i­lies affect­ed to date. I often heard my grand­moth­er lament about that inci­dent my neigh­bour had lost his moth­er and yet out­side of that grow­ing up I hard­ly ever heard any­thing for­mal­ly about the Kendal Crash we rever­ie noth­ing in this coun­try that’s why our relics and most of our his­toric buildings/​monuments look like crap.

Now after cor­rect­ing some of the mis­spellings I responded.

ME

Instead of a “RECREATIONAL PARK”, how about a fit­ting mon­u­ment which appro­pri­ate­ly hon­ors the dead, and takes into account the grief of the peo­ple at the time this unfor­tu­nate event occurred?
I too heard about it, the gory details and all, I would sug­gest that we have a fit­ting mon­u­ment to remem­ber the event by, not a recre­ation­al park.

JamaicanDawta Mike Beckles • 

I agree with you on this one, Mike. But yuh no know how di ting go: appeal to which paat yuh get votes.

ME 
Precisely!

So far so good right?
Naaaa.

Nikanta Mike Beckles 

So the mon­u­ment can­not be placed in the Park giv­ing it a more tran­quil set­ting while you stand there reflect­ing.? We so small mind­ed when it comes to things of sub­stance but we have no qualms about politi­cians spend­ing our tax dol­lars on their own friv­o­lous pur­suits.
.….….….….….….….….….….….….….
Actually, that is not an unrea­son­able posi­tion to take but I am think­ing the cost would prob­a­bly be astro­nom­i­cal so let’s focus on an edi­fice which hon­ors those who lost their lives.
So how about some­thing like the Lincoln Memorial, how about some­thing like the Holocaust muse­um, the civ­il war memo­r­i­al, the African-American Museum.
I don’t know some­thing sub­stan­tive, like a pres­i­den­tial library, just not a park.

ME

Okay, it seems that your brain, what’s left of it, is a stuck in a per­ma­nent a state of [park], hence your obses­sion and pre­oc­cu­pa­tion with parks.
Can you think out­side what the stu­pid politi­cians pro­pose for a change despite the blinkers?

Nikanta Mike Beckles 

FYI You sir seem to have less of a clue as to what a brain actu­al­ly does and I am pre­sum­ing it has do with your lack of oxy­gen intake after all there isn’t much decent green spaces left in this coun­try to assist you with that (which is what I am more in agree­ment with so if you want to call it a MEMORIAL PARK…what the hell ever). I for one don’t give a hoot about what politi­cians rec­om­mend and clear­ly, you don’t give a hoot about any­thing real­ly except to open that space in your face.

Again I had to cor­rect the mis­spellings but anyway.

Now he/​she went there, (smile). 
Okay, I don’t mind dis­cussing issues but when you are los­ing and you decide to engage in ad hominem attacks, I take off the gloves.
Really?

ME…

The nuclear response.

I’ll tell you a lit­tle sto­ry after which it will be radio silence, my time is far too valu­able.
In parts of Africa, they would catch mon­keys by cut­ting a lit­tle hole in a pump­kin, enough to accom­mo­date the mon­key’s paw.
They would then use a spe­cial stick to loosen the gut of the pump­kin and leave it where the mon­keys would find it.
The mon­key would force, it’s paw into the squash and scoop all the entrails it’s lit­tle paw could hold and it would not let go.
The only prob­lem is that with a paw full of pump­kin entrails, the mon­key was unable to get its paw out of the tiny hole, but the mon­key would not let go of the prize and so it went, the trap­per would catch the mon­key, paw still trapped in the pump­kin.
If only it let go of what it ini­tial­ly grabbed.……

You are that (mon­key)

In a com­pelling Article on the web­site [Vox.com]titled [the rise of American autho­tar­i­an­ism] Journalist, Amanda Taub wrote, Vanderbilt University, pro­fes­sor Marc Hetherington and University of North Carolina’s Jonathan Weiler, had essen­tial­ly pre­dict­ed Trump’s rise back in 2009, when they dis­cov­ered some­thing that would turn out to be far more sig­nif­i­cant than they then realized.

Hetherington and Weiler pub­lished a book about the effects of author­i­tar­i­an­ism on American pol­i­tics. Through a series of exper­i­ments and care­ful data analy­sis, they had come to a sur­pris­ing con­clu­sion: Much of the polar­iza­tion divid­ing American pol­i­tics was fueled not just by ger­ry­man­der­ing or mon­ey in pol­i­tics or the oth­er oft-cit­ed vari­ables, but by an unno­ticed but sur­pris­ing­ly large elec­toral group — authoritarians.

Their book con­clud­ed that the GOP, by posi­tion­ing itself as the par­ty of tra­di­tion­al val­ues and law and order, had unknow­ing­ly attract­ed what would turn out to be a vast and pre­vi­ous­ly bipar­ti­san pop­u­la­tion of Americans with author­i­tar­i­an tendencies.

This trend had been accel­er­at­ed in recent years by demo­graph­ic and eco­nom­ic changes such as immi­gra­tion, which “acti­vat­ed” author­i­tar­i­an ten­den­cies, lead­ing many Americans to seek out a strong­man leader who would pre­serve a sta­tus quo they feel is under threat and impose order on a world they per­ceive as increas­ing­ly alien. https://​www​.vox​.com/​2​0​1​6​/​3​/​1​/​1​1​1​2​7​4​2​4​/​t​r​u​m​p​-​a​u​t​h​o​r​i​t​a​r​i​a​n​ism.

The rise of Trump reflects what I have always believed to be a response to a deep­er more severe and dan­ger­ous under­ly­ing prob­lem in the American body-politic. As a con­se­quence, Donald Trump is mere­ly a symp­tom of that more severe con­di­tion which may actu­al­ly be more can­cer­ous than the snif­fles of a pass­ing cold.
[Vox​.com[ explains,  How do peo­ple come to adopt, in such large num­bers and so rapid­ly, extreme polit­i­cal views that seem to coin­cide with fear of minori­ties and with the desire for a strong­man leader? To answer that ques­tion, these the­o­rists study what they call author­i­tar­i­an­ism: not the dic­ta­tors them­selves, but rather the psy­cho­log­i­cal pro­file of peo­ple who, under the right con­di­tions, will desire cer­tain kinds of extreme poli­cies and will seek strong­man lead­ers to imple­ment them.

Could Donald Trump have seen this as researchers includ­ing a Ph.D. stu­dent and a Professor named in the Vox arti­cle saw it as far back as 2009? During the 2016 Presidential elec­tion cam­paign, Donald Trump embarked on a sys­tem­at­ic evis­cer­a­tion of his polit­i­cal opponents.
He used to his advan­tage, a sim­ple yet high­ly effec­tive strat­e­gy of uti­liz­ing names which pejo­ra­tive­ly belit­tled his pri­ma­ry oppo­nents, effec­tive­ly mak­ing them seem small­er and weak­er, van­quish­ing them in the process.
Labels like low ener­gy Jeb, lit­tle Marco, Crazy Bernie„ Lying Ted,[irony be damned]Sleepy Ben Carson, are just a few of the pejo­ra­tives he used on his pri­ma­ry oppo­nents and he did not stop there. While com­pet­ing for the nom­i­na­tion he had already carved out “crooked Hillary for the gen­er­al elec­tions. Later Lying James Comey, Pochantas,Liddle Bob Corker, sleepy eyes Chuck Todd, Al Frankenstein, Lamb the sham, Crazy Joe Biden and a slew of oth­er insult­ing and demean­ing names were to follow.

Donald Trump for all of his short­com­ings may very well be stu­pid as a Fox. After all how else would he have the gall to refuse to show his tax returns when pre­vi­ous pres­i­den­tial can­di­dates dat­ing back sev­er­al decades had will­ing­ly com­plied with such request?
What did he see which prompt­ed him in 2016 to pre­dict he could shoot some­one on 5^th Avenue and he would not lose a sin­gle vote? Or maybe more co sequen­tial­ly, why did he say he loves the une­d­u­cat­ed, respond­ing to polls which showed in 2016 that the bulk of his sup­port was with white non-col­lege edu­cat­ed old­er voters.

One of the nar­ra­tives which came out of the 2016 elec­tions was that there was a large chunk of vot­ers who have not both­ered to vote in pre­vi­ous elec­tions. Some Democrats who would rather wish facts away sim­ply brushed this pos­si­bil­i­ty aside, I did­n’t. Driving down to South Carolina using route 81 from upstate New York through the coun­try­side of Pennsylvania, West Virginia I was stunned at the num­ber of Trump bill­boards and yard-signs for the entire­ty of the Journey.
I point­ed out to my wife that there was some­thing going on that was not reflect­ed in the var­i­ous polls.

I expect­ed the yard-signs in West Virginia, south­ern Virginia, Ohio, but upstate New York and Pennsylvania not so much. Say what you want about the unsci­en­tif­ic nature of a yard sign poll but the erec­tion and tol­er­ance of yard signs in a neigh­bor­hood tells a sto­ry of its own.

On elec­tion day the lines I saw in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida Nevada and oth­er states snaking for blocks around polling sites seemed eeri­ly like some­thing yet unseen.
Again I turned to my best friend, my wife and opined to her “these lines of peo­ple seem old­er, more deter­mined, less diverse”, in short, not Hillary Clinton voters.
My yard sign poll was vin­di­cat­ed on elec­tion night. Yes, Pennsylvania went to Donald Trump.

Whether or not the Russian inter­fer­ence had any mea­sur­able impact on the elec­tions of 2016 is a ques­tion which we may nev­er get the answer to. Whether we believe that the Russians were able to change votes or not, or whether we believe that there is a large groundswell of baked in sup­port for Trump which will silent­ly come out and vote for him yet again in the 2018 elec­tions is yet to be seen.
Or whether both sce­nar­ios are def­i­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties the prospect does not look good for those opposed to the rise of Trump. In the mean­time, Trump speaks about his pres­i­den­cy in monar­chis­tic terms, he coy­ly floats the idea of remain­ing pres­i­dent for life hop­ing to see how it will be received by the public.
Some say “ah, he is just jok­ing”. I think not, he loves author­i­tar­i­an fig­ures, Kim Jung Un, he loves the way Kim’s peo­ple sit up and pay atten­tion to him, he wants that for himself.
He jokes about being pres­i­dent for life as he prais­es China’s Xi Jinping.
He prais­es Turkeys, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, admires the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte, glows in the dome of the orb of the bru­tal and cal­lous Saudi Human rights abusers and loves Netanyahu a man who has his sol­diers kill inno­cent unarmed civil­ians and aid work­ers in the occu­pied territories.

In essence, all of the actions he takes and the peo­ple he admires falls in line with his aspi­ra­tions to fill the role for which he yearned and for which his sup­port struc­ture are pre­pared to see.
The sad state of affairs is that whether we acknowl­edge it or not the United States has already passed the Rubicon for what America had long chas­tised oth­er countries.
The ques­tion for all is whether as humans who pop­u­late this plan­et we are pre­pared to accept that the United States under Donald Trump is very well on its way toward total­i­tar­i­an­ism and becom­ing a fas­cist police state.

What is the number?
What is the num­ber of dead peo­ple which will get the Jamaican Government and the full polit­i­cal oppo­si­tion to real­ize that the sta­tus quo is untenable?
I pose this ques­tion to Prime Minister Andrew Holness and his col­leagues as well as to Dr.Peter Phillips and his col­leagues on the oppo­si­tion benches.
What is crit­i­cal mass for you?

Our coun­try’s pop­u­la­tion hov­ers some­where around 2.7 mil­lion. Last year alone there was a report­ed 1600 plus killings. Many Jamaicans includ­ing some police offi­cers believe that the num­bers are much higher.

With a pop­u­la­tion of 2.7 mil­lion and over 1600 dead, the chances of get­ting killed on an aver­age day in Jamaica is one in under 17,000.
Those are shock­ing num­bers which are prob­a­bly much worse when we remove the polit­i­cal class and the wealthy elites who have secu­ri­ty details, live in gat­ed com­mu­ni­ties with heavy secu­ri­ty and have the option of arm­ing themselves.

When they are removed from the equa­tion it leaves a much small­er pool of Jamaicans who are actu­al­ly exposed to the will of the mind­less mur­der­ers who kill at will.

Bunch Of Smoke On Crime, No Fire: Cops Must Get A Clue As Well…

The cri­sis of vio­lent crime fac­ing the coun­try is not a phe­nom­e­non unto itself, it is rep­re­sen­ta­tive of a much larg­er rot of dis­re­spect and dis­re­gard which took over the coun­try in the ear­ly 90’s and has devel­oped now into a soci­ety which can only be char­ac­ter­ized as lawless.

I ask our coun­try’s lead­ers this ques­tion with a heavy heart. It is dif­fi­cult for me to envis­age the bod­ies of one thou­sand six hun­dred once liv­ing breath­ing viva­cious humans laid out side by side, dead.
I can­not men­tal­ly rec­on­cile all that inno­cent dead in a sit­u­a­tion in which there is no nation on nation conflict.

The way our lead­er­ship is look­ing at this issue is demon­stra­bly not work­ing. Personally speak­ing, I am tired of talk­ing about this, I am tired of writ­ing about it. I’m sure this is true of most Jamaicans as well, who knows what needs to be done but are not in posi­tions to change it.

If You Believe The ZOSO Will Have An Impact On Murders You Deserve To Be Conned .…

The not so dis­tant pas­sage of the (ZOSO) Zones Of Special Operations Act in the Island’s leg­is­la­ture gave many peo­ple hope that final­ly, the Government was doing some­thing about crime.
The Act, the brain­child of Prime Minister Andrew Holness, is tan­ta­mount to a drug fiend’s first high which dis­si­pates rather quick­ly and can nev­er be duplicated.

Many Jamaicans, includ­ing past and present police offi­cers, were, and have been high­ly sup­port­ive of the Act, hope­less­ly cling­ing to any­thing which is being sold as a solu­tion to the crime Monster.
This pub­li­ca­tion which is ded­i­cat­ed to jus­tice and the rule of law and this writer chose to look at the long ball. As a result, I said ZOSO was a dis­trac­tion which would have no real mea­sur­able effect on crime and in time would be proven to be a mere dis­trac­tion by the nation’s leadership.

If You Believe The ZOSO Will Have An Impact On Murders You Deserve To Be Conned .…

WHY ZOSO CANNOT WORK.

The Zones Of Special Operations Act. is sim­ply a sit­u­a­tion in which large amounts of police offi­cers and mem­bers of the Military are placed in a cer­tain geo­graph­ic area. )usu­al­ly, one deter­mined to be a high crime area).
Naturally, the author­i­ties which decide which area is to be des­ig­nat­ed a ZOSO say no one knows where the next ZOSO will be, except the Prime Minister and his tight group of nation­al secu­ri­ty advisers.

Unfortunately, that gives me no com­fort. As a cop who spent a whole week in the hills of Westmoreland wait­ing for air­planes to land at an ille­gal strip in Montpelier, only to be approached in the bush­es by one of the men we were sup­posed to be arrest­ing as soon as the plane land­ed, and told we were wast­ing our time because his boss received word that we would be com­ing before we reached there.
That infor­ma­tion giv­en to politi­cians was leaked to crim­i­nals effec­tive­ly plac­ing our lives at risk and mak­ing a mock­ery of crime fighting.

ZOSO is the state of affair which ought to exist across the Island. It is the sense of free­dom and secu­ri­ty cit­i­zens should feel liv­ing and par­tic­i­pat­ing in their com­mu­ni­ties. However, in order to build that out, it would require an extra­or­di­nary amount of human resources which Jamaica sim­ply does not have.

Want To Stop The Killings In Jamaica/​Here’s How…

As it stands it is unsus­tain­able because it uses up large amounts of resources in small geo­graph­ic areas leav­ing oth­er areas without.
Finally, crim­i­nals would be stu­pid to stay[they aren’t] in an area know­ing it is high­ly like­ly their high crime area may be descend­ed on by swarms of police and soldiers.
I argued that crim­i­nals would sim­ply move to oth­er areas and con­tin­ue with their activities.
They have!
That is the rea­son you do not hear much talk about ZOSO any­more, mere months after it’s passage.

SOLUTION

Since we can now acknowl­edge that ZOSO was a mere dis­trac­tion which has no hope of trans­form­ing the crime land­scape it behooves us to begin the process of look­ing at real solu­tions which will have pos­i­tive effects.
I was hope­ful when it was deter­mined that Andrew Holness would be the next prime min­is­ter of our country.
https://​mike​beck​les​.com/​j​l​p​-​m​u​s​t​-​s​n​a​t​c​h​-​v​i​c​t​r​o​y​-​f​r​o​m​-​t​h​e​-​a​s​h​e​s​-​o​f​-​d​e​f​e​at/

After his loss to Portia Simpson Miller, I wrote an arti­cle chal­leng­ing him to go out into the fields and talk­ing to the peo­ple no mat­ter where they lived. I chal­lenged him to roll up his sleeves and sit with the peo­ple in every nook and cran­ny, eat with them and hear their con­cerns. Whether he read the arti­cle or not is nei­ther here nor there, Andrew Holness did exact­ly that.

However, after win­ning the last nation­al elec­tions I was stunned to hear the elit­ist rhetoric com­ing from Holness.
I have zero expec­ta­tion of any­thing pos­i­tive from the lead­er­ship of the PNP, that is the rea­son I cast my lot with Holness.
I got a rude awak­en­ing when I heard the new­ly mint­ed Prime Minister berat­ing the JCF, telling his friends that there would be no return to the days when police would kick in doors and sum­mar­i­ly kill people.

I was stunned at the sense of vit­ri­ol and the barefaced nature of the PrimeMinister’s defama­tion which was bereft of sub­stance and was at its core a self-serv­ing and gra­tu­itous state­ment born out of mal­ice and ignorance.
It was a state­ment designed to pla­cate and quite the crim­i­nal rights lob­by which has set up shop on the Island.
Ironically, the Prime Minister’s wife a new­ly mint­ed mem­ber of the leg­is­la­ture did not seem to share those sentiments.
At least her pub­lic utter­ances seem to dif­fer from those of her husband.

THE CONSEQUENCES

Andrew Holness did not need to cre­ate that chasm between him­self and the police depart­ment, they vot­ed en-masse for him allow­ing the labor par­ty to sweep the elec­tions gain­ing a one-seat major­i­ty in the legislature.
The Labor Party was able to keep its 21 incum­bents intact and gained 11 for­mer seats briefly held by the PNP in 2011.

The cal­cu­la­tion to throw the secu­ri­ty forces under the bus was an old one used by both polit­i­cal par­ties toward fur­ther­ing their polit­i­cal agendas.
Sadly, far too many mem­bers of the Island’s police force are intrin­si­cal­ly tied to the two polit­i­cal par­ties, and for no good reason.

The PNP has nev­er had any desire to deal with the nation’s crime crisis.
In fact, the pre­vi­ous unprece­dent­ed hold that the par­ty had on pow­er and the ensu­ing dete­ri­o­ra­tion of our nation­al cul­ture is a direct result of the par­ty’s hands-off approach to crime in some instances and it’s direct involve­ment in others.

The Government’s deci­sion to avoid tak­ing real and prac­ti­cal steps against crim­i­nals cou­pled with its dis­re­spect­ful pos­ture toward the police has not only destroyed the morale of the police, it has embold­ened crim­i­nals and placed the lives of cit­i­zens in peril.
The present brouha­ha between Minister Montague and Commissioner Quallo in which the Commissioner, we are told has been told he has to go, is anoth­er attempt by the Government to deflect from the con­se­quences of its own fail­ures on its most impor­tant respon­si­bil­i­ty to secure the nation.

The longer the admin­is­tra­tion takes to stop play­ing pol­i­tics with nation­al secu­ri­ty the hard­er it is for the secu­ri­ty forces to reverse the out­come of this policy.
The more this gov­ern­ment and the oppo­si­tion play pol­i­tics is the more Jamaicans will die.
It is a sad and shock­ing cri­sis, and lack of polit­i­cal lead­er­ship, the con­se­quences of which are tens of thou­sands of dead Jamaicans over the years as the polit­i­cal class pan­ders to for­eign groups much to the demise of our people.

The Eagle builds her nest high at the top of a moun­tain or in a very tall tree she does so using sticks then she cush­ions it with straw so it can be com­fort­able but she places it up and away so that her young can be pro­tect­ed from predators.
She lays her eggs then sits on them until they hatch.
She goes out and she brings back food, she feeds the young hatch­lings until they are all grown up.
Then one morn­ing she sits on the side of the nest and flaps her giant wings until all the straw is gone.
She effec­tive­ly removes the com­fort that the straw pro­vides, then she flies a lit­tle way off and watches.
One by one the young Eagles try to emu­late their mom, some­times they fall, when they do she swoops down to pick up the young one and places it back into the nest.
The young Eagle repeats the process until the art of fly­ing becomes nat­ur­al and they fly off into the skies on their own.

It was­n’t so long ago that a Gorilla nick­named Harambe was out of neces­si­ty killed to save a lit­tle Ohio boy who slipped away from it’s moth­er and fell into the moat which formed part of the Gorilla’s sanctuary.
Media report­ing on the inci­dent said the child’s moth­er was con­tend­ing with oth­er chil­dren when the lit­tle boy went through par­ti­tions and even­tu­al­ly fell into the moat where he was snatched and dragged around vio­lent­ly by the Gorilla for almost 10 min­utes before author­i­ties were forced to take the nec­es­sary actions to save the young child’s life.
Out of that inci­dent hun­dreds of thou­sands of peo­ple across the coun­try signed peti­tions and rose up in self right­eous indig­na­tion , demand­ing that charges be prof­fered against the moth­er of the child. The gen­er­al tone of their anger was that the endan­gered pri­mate should not have been killed to save the child.
As a lover of ani­mals I was stunned at the bla­tant hypocrisy . These pri­mates are endan­gered because of white peo­ple who believe they have a right to kill what­ev­er and whomev­er with­out restraint now they have the nerve to decide when one may be killed to save human life.

One of he prob­lems I had with those calls was that the out­rage did not seem to bear a sin­gle iota of con­cern for what the moth­er of the lit­tle boy must have gone through while her child was sec­onds from death in the cus­tody of the wild beast.
As a par­ent who lost a child I can imag­ine the absolute hor­ror of that moth­er, not know­ing whether she would ever get to touch her son alive again.
The calls prompt­ed police author­i­ties to com­mence Investigations and for­ward their find­ings to pros­e­cu­tors who cor­rect­ly said he was frankly offend­ed at the attempts to equate the life of an ani­mal with that of a human being. The pros­e­cu­tor found no evi­dence of wrong­do­ing or neg­li­gence on the part of the moth­er. No charges were filed against her .
Not a sin­gle one of the per­sons call­ing for her arrest empathized with her ordeal or how close she came to los­ing her child .

The Hypocrisy Of The Harambe Objectors…

Did I men­tion that the moth­er was black ?

Fast for­ward to Tuesday June 14^th around 9.00 pm a two-year-old baby (2) was wad­ing in the shal­low water close to theo edge f the Seven Seas lagoon at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spain Orland Florida. when an Alligator esti­mat­ed to be between 4 – 7 feet dragged the infant under water. The child has not been seen since. Authorities said that the child is part of a fam­i­ly of five which arrived there on Sunday from Nebraska.
Thus far we have heard not one sin­gle soli­tary word of con­dem­na­tion for the moth­er of this child . Not a sin­gle com­ment about police inves­ti­ga­tions and poten­tial jail­ing the moth­er for negligence.
We have heard no word on how many Alligators have been abused or pos­si­bly killed as they try to deter­mine which gator may have dragged the child under.
Where are the cries and out­rage from the pha­lanx of sanc­ti­mo­nious hyp­ocrites ? What is the dif­fer­ence with this case.

Since no one is ask­ing ques­tions I will.….
Where was the moth­er, or whomev­er was sup­posed to be attend­ing to the two-year-old baby?
Why was a baby wad­ing in water out of arms reach of an adult and worse at 9.00 clock at night ?
If ever there was a case of neg­li­gence this seem to be it. The age of this infant is half that of the child which fell into the Gorilla enclave. Why is there a dif­fer­ent stan­dard for the black moth­er than the white care­givers of this child?
The younger the child the greater the lev­el of hands on care is required.
So far there has been total radio silence , so while I am lis­ten­ing , I wish to bring to the fore that though there prob­a­bly will nev­er be any out­cry. And though what we will most def­i­nite­ly see is a Over-dra­ma­tized out­pour­ing of grief for that fam­i­ly’s loss we have already made our deter­mi­na­tion that those who cried for Harambe were fraud­u­lent racist hypocrites.
We knew would be exposed in short order!

Update…

Since I wrote this sto­ry author­i­ties have report­ed that the body of the child have been found in about 6 feet of water. They report­ed that this was made pos­si­ble through the use of sonar technology.
They have also report­ed that at least 5 Alligators were pulled from the lagoon and they have tak­en steps to try to fig­ure out which one was respon­si­ble for pulling the child underwater.
Your guess is as good as mine as to the meth­ods used.

Prime Minister Andrew Holness said on Tuesday:
“It is not the inten­tion of the Government to, in any way, dimin­ish human rights,” the prime min­is­ter told the Jamaica Observer in a one-on-one inter­view at Jamaica House on Tuesday. “But the Government has to weigh the bal­ance of human rights on a whole, and the human rights of those per­sons who are being mur­dered by per­sons who get bail and laugh in the face of jus­tice and law enforce­ment, and go out and com­mit more crimes.

I have per­son­al­ly been ham­mer­ing home this point for years right here in this medium.
