Developed Nation Status A Pipe Dream Amidst A Crumbling Social Structure

Amidst idle chat­ter by mouth­pieces at INDECOM about police fatal shoot­ings, gang­land com­mu­ni­ties con­tin­ue to try to turn our coun­try into anoth­er iter­a­tion of a law­less Haiti.

A tense stand-off erupt­ed in Elderslie Pen, also known as Capture Land, in Spanish Town, St Catherine, ear­ly this morn­ing fol­low­ing a police oper­a­tion tar­get­ing want­ed men.
Residents, angered by the oper­a­tion, report­ed­ly attacked mem­bers of the secu­ri­ty forces with stones and bot­tles, forc­ing them to fire warn­ing shots into the air.
The pro­test­ers esca­lat­ed ten­sions by block­ing roads lead­ing into the com­mu­ni­ty and slash­ing the tires of police vehi­cles, ham­per­ing the mobil­i­ty of law enforcement.
Sporadic gun­fire has been report­ed as police and mil­i­tary per­son­nel work to regain con­trol of the volatile area. 
The oper­a­tion, report­ed­ly car­ried out by the Fugitive Apprehension Squad, failed to cap­ture its intend­ed tar­get, who man­aged to escape amid the chaos. (As report­ed by one local publication)

This is not a new phe­nom­e­non in our coun­try, this usu­al­ly hap­pens with the media act­ing as will­ing cheer­lead­ers to the anar­chy in depressed com­mu­ni­ties across the coun­try where bleached-out skin ema­ci­at­ed-look­ing thugs hold sway under the pow­er of the gun.
In these com­mu­ni­ties, many res­i­dents who ben­e­fit from the chop­ping, extor­tion, mur­der, and rob­beries are will­ing to put their lives on the line to defend the bleached-out skin mon­sters who rule like kings in the rusty zinc fief­doms of despair and degradation.
Adding to the may­hem are the many groups of sym­pa­thiz­ers pre­tend­ing to be human rights orga­ni­za­tions. Their pro­pa­gan­da cam­paign rivals Hitler’s Goebbels in effectiveness.
Worst yet, are the tax­pay­er-fund­ed ones at INDECOM, an Agency formed to offer police over­sight which off the bat mor­phed into an inef­fec­tive par­a­site on law-abid­ing tax­pay­ers and anoth­er acces­so­ry to the nation’s crime epidemic.

Was this the first time this kind of thing hap­pened in these com­mu­ni­ties that should be bull­dozed for all intents and pur­pos­es? No, and it will not be the last. One fact remains con­stant and that is the silence by the fraud­u­lent crim­i­nal sup­port­ing pro­pa­gan­dists that give aid and com­fort to the anar­chists, includ­ing the leech­es liv­ing off tax­pay­ers at INDECOM.
It is very dif­fi­cult to find anoth­er coun­try where a Government Agency ignores its job and spends time crit­i­ciz­ing anoth­er Agency. 
The present Government allows this to hap­pen and the oppo­si­tion PNP that craves pow­er is worse. Among its ranks are peo­ple worse than those slash­ing the tires and attack­ing the police.
How does this kind of unchecked law­less­ness work with the lofty goals of the gov­ern­ment to pro­pel the coun­try into devel­oped nation sta­tus through what it calls Vision 2030″, which aims to achieve devel­oped coun­try sta­tus by the year 2030 through a com­pre­hen­sive nation­al devel­op­ment plan focused on improv­ing the econ­o­my, social cohe­sion, and envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­abil­i­ty; essen­tial­ly posi­tion­ing Jamaica as “the place of choice to live, work, raise fam­i­lies and do busi­ness.”. 

A few road­ways built by the Chinese do not a devel­oped coun­try make, amidst a rot­ting, crum­bling social struc­ture. If the nation is to ever remote­ly begin that upward path it must dis­en­tan­gle itself from the cheap parochial par­ti­san pol­i­tics that has suf­fo­cat­ed the progress we deserve just so that low-life politi­cians can attain power.
