There is a sense of Karma in literally every action we take .
The Religious ascribe the consequences of our actions to a God who see to it that we are punished for whatever negative actions we engage in, and rewarded for the positives we do.
Me, I believe in God, yet I am far less attuned to the notion of God sitting somewhere keeping score of the actions of mankind with the intention to punish and reward as the case may demand.
I believe our world is set up on principles.
Those principles dictate but not guarantee good results when we strive toward certain goals. They also respond the same way when we engage in actions which are evidently counterproductive.
We have the ability to pick ourselves up and try again when we fall down, but we can also chose not to get up, it’s all up to us.
ACTIONS/CONSEQUENCES
For years we Jamaicans watched our society devolve into a lawless jungle where the privileged create a society in which they live above the laws they created. While the not so well connected are allowed to tear at each other like vultures ripping at rotten carcass.
What is the difference between the lives of women and children over that of men?
For years men have been murdered and the society hardly bats an eye. Children gets abused and killed no one cared really.
Now women are being killed and all of a sudden the sky is falling?
I don’t think so!!!
Life is life. none is more important than the other, this selective outrage about the killing of women is nauseating.
I am reminded of a joke I shared with a friend a couple of years ago. He pointed to a silly trend in the dance-hall industry, literally everyone has a tribute song to their mama.
He argued that many who sang about their mama were actually raised by their single fathers who moved mountains to take care of them.
Even when they are raised in homes in which they had a mother and father they paid tribute to their mothers and not their fathers.
The significance of that is far deeper than just whats likely to sell records or earn a few forwards in the dance-halls but I will deal with that at another time.
It’s kinda like the litany of girl’s schools against the few all boys schools.
The Bureau of women’s affairs.
Still waiting for someone to provide me with the address to the bureau of men’s affairs.[sic]
Then they wonder why the young men are out in the streets raping, maiming and killing while the women are filling the halls of academia.
The women are getting killed like everyone else, the calls to “stop killing our women” are simply another retarded way in which the society look at gender in Jamaica.
Not to be outdone, the dance-hall artistes ‚(remember them)they have joined the chorus, calling for the killing of women to end.
That’s all good, but then they added the ridiculous, as they were certainly expected to do.
“How the race a gu continue wen unuh kill aaf de woman dem”?
I know right?
No need to worry about the killing of men.
Society can simply source semen from the nearest river or stream, but we gotta protect the women at all cost.[sic]
We really don’t need men as long as we preserve the women.
You ever wondered why throughout history there has been poverty?
Well in many cases poverty is not just poverty of financial resources, it is a poverty of common sense. Poverty of intellect. People militating against their owns self-interest making the case of others.
Jamaican women were always side by side with the crime culture.
“Missa Beckles mi like yu but yu a police, yu nu have nu money, fi mi man haffi teef , mi like nice tings”
You know how they say that in that downtown drawl lips turned up ? I smile at that even as the seriousness of that thinking was never lost on me.
Sure they know the men are robbing and killing innocent people for the money they bring them,> Does it matter to them?
Hell no!!!
Sure they go out and demonstrate against the police claiming they saw the killing at 4:00 am and it was murder ‚knowing they are lying .
They do so anyway.
When their men fight the timid poorly trained police officers in the streets listen to hear the loudest voices egging on the men.
The chickens are coming home to roost. If you associate with blood thirsty killers surely one day they are going to turn on you.
It’s extremely difficult to sleep with skunks and not have the stench rub off on you.
It is shocking to see what Jamaica has come to. Police officers being mobbed in the streets, afraid to defend their own lives.
Supervisors leaving their juniors, to deal with growing mobs while they hide and shelter away from the fray.
Don’t even mention the women cops who simply stand there like window dressing. I mean what purpose do they really serve?
As I have asked repeatedly where is the training, where is the esprit de corp?
Police officers do not run from mobs, Police officers do not show fear.
♦Real police officers hold their ground in mob situations, weapons pointed steadily at the leader of that mob.
♦Do not flinch.
♦Give clear, concise, loud , lawful commands.
♦Officers have a right to be safe from assault and death in the execution of their lawful duties.
♦Do not fire warning shots.
♦Point the weapon straight at the forehead as soon as he steps too close to assault you fire, dropping him dead.
♦Maintain your stance, the next person who steps up to assault you, same treatment.
That’s my training , that’s police training. No (i.n.d.e.c.o.m) law can take away any police officer’s right to do their job, to protect their lives first and foremost.
If the commissioner of i.n.d.e.c.o.m attempts to assault an officer in the execution of their sworn duties he is entitled to the very same treatment.
Period.
