Less Crime In Jamaica Means Removing The PNP From Power.…

Yesterday I wrote about the grow­ing prob­lem of attacks on police offi­cers by lit­er­al­ly every­one they approach in Jamaica. I made it clear that the( inde­com) Act embold­ens crim­i­nals to act with impuni­ty which is evi­dent from the dras­tic rise in seri­ous crimes includ­ing homicides.
As if that’s not bad enough there is grow­ing evi­dence of peo­ple who would oth­er­wise not chal­lenge law enforce­ment offi­cers in the law­ful exe­cu­tion of their duties lit­er­al­ly attack­ing and throw­ing punch­es on cops even when they are stopped for breach­ing the Island’s traf­fic laws..

There are instances where a par­tic­u­lar offi­cer was attempt­ing to con­fis­cate an unli­censed motor­cy­cle as he is oblig­ed to do by law . The dri­ver stead­fast­ly refused to sur­ren­der the motor­cy­cle. He threat­ened the offi­cer, threw punch­es, got back on the motor­cy­cle and rode off leav­ing a jeer­ing crowd to ridicule the officer.
The offi­cer’s female part­ner stood harm­less­ly by and watched.
Window dressing!!!!

It is appalling to watch the lev­el of law­less­ness which is occur­ring in Jamaica while the Administration in Kingston and the half-baked idiot who sits in Jamaica House does noth­ing to take back the streets from the crim­i­nals who have the police on the run.
The aver­age per­son on the streets have zero fear of the laws which are large­ly archa­ic and pos­es zero deter­rent effect to would be criminals.
On the rare occa­sion that crim­i­nals are appre­hend­ed and the evi­dence is over­whelm­ing that it can­not be thrown out the cor­rupt left­ist judges which pop­u­late the bench lit­er­al­ly slaps crim­i­nals on the wrist and sim­ply turn them loose back into society.
This in and of itself is a ter­rif­ic recruit­ment tool for the crim­i­nal underworld.
Jamaica’s young men and in some cas­es young women are drawn inex­orably to a life of crime. A sim­ple cost ben­e­fit analy­sis shows that crime pays in Jamaica.

A young man who walks into a busi­ness place and robs a mil­lion dol­lars has very lit­tle chance of ever get­ting caught in Jamaica anymore.
If how­ev­er he is caught and by some stroke of luck he is con­vict­ed in the social­ist court sys­tem he is like­ly to be slapped with a fine of fifty thou­sand dol­lars at most.
Why would this young man not rel­ish a life of crime?
To the causal observ­er this may seem like a crim­i­nal jus­tice which is fail­ing . To the avid watch­er who pays atten­tion it is far more sinister.
The Governing PNP encour­ages crime and cor­rup­tion. Every aspect of it’s func­tions is a tan­gled web of crim­i­nal­i­ty and corruption .
The award­ing of Government con­tracts is a pigs trough of cor­rup­tion , graft and pay­offs to crim­i­nal thugs who deliv­er large swath of votes to the PNP from par­ty strongholds.

My pre­ten­tious coun­try­men will scoff at the notion that our beloved Island is no dif­fer­ent than a sub-Saharan enclave ruled by crim­i­nal warlords.
There absolute­ly is not much difference,Jamaica sim­ply has a bet­ter lay­er of veneer.
The mass­es of the unin­formed unwit­ting­ly believe that the coun­try is on a path to devel­op­ment. The fact is that from the Prime Minister to the thug in the gar­risons the sys­tem works they are reap­ing the rewards of crime and corruption.
For every­one else they have carte blanch to go out and get theirs by what­ev­er means necessary.
And they do , this allows the com­mon man to make a liv­ing in the crim­i­nal under­world or col­lo­qui­al­ly “eat a food” while the Government starves law enforce­ment of resources, sup­port, and leg­is­la­tion which would seri­ous­ly impact crime in a pos­i­tive way for well mean­ing Jamaicans.

This crude yet effec­tive strat­e­gy gave the People’s National Party con­trol of state pow­er for 31 of the last 43 years.
Today the People’s National Party still con­trol state power.
In what may cer­tain­ly be unprece­dent­ed time in office in a coun­try not con­sid­ered a dic­ta­tor­ship the PNP using those worse prac­tices through the 70’s to present day has dec­i­mat­ed the pro­duc­tive sec­tor, cre­at­ed a riv­er of brain drain, evis­cer­at­ed the nation­al cur­ren­cy , presided over mas­sive moral and infra­struc­tur­al decay and dri­ven the entire mid­dle class into poverty.

In the mean­time Forbes projects the Island’s Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller to have a Net Worth of $20 Million. Portia Simpson Miller Net Worth.

Speaking on the strate­gies being employed in com­bat­ing crime in Saint James, the new mur­der Parish, Senior Superintendent of police Steve McGregor told one of the dai­ly news papers he and his team will be work­ing assid­u­ous­ly to remove pros­ti­tutes from the streets par­tic­u­lar­ly along Harbor street and the area known as the hip-strip.
McGregor high­light­ed the high lev­el of unruly behav­ior, some­thing we spoke about yesterday.
“Right now it is a chal­lenge because it is a very undis­ci­plined town­ship and the town has been allowed to behave this way for some time, so the fact that we are now tight­en­ing the noose on them as it relates to their behav­ioral pat­tern, we are get­ting a chal­lenge from them. But we are up to the task and we are going to police the town­ship the way that we are doing because we are find­ing that this is send­ing a good mes­sage to the gen­er­al parish as it relates to discipline,”.

Of course the police are being challenged .
Of course they have been allowed to behave that way for sometime.
It goes to the Government’s pol­i­cy of allow­ing peo­ple to break the law while cre­at­ing the impres­sion it wants low­er crime.
The fact is that the Governing admin­is­tra­tion in Kingston is inher­ent­ly corrupt .
In a coun­try of laws most of it’s mem­bers would have been doing seri­ous time in prison.
So even though I com­mend the Senior Superintendent for at least rec­og­niz­ing that tack­ling qual­i­ty of life offences is a good way to root out more seri­ous crimes,to the aver­age per­son it seem sil­ly talk­ing about lock­ing up pros­ti­tutes while mass mur­der­ers are walk­ing around untouched.

What the Nation needs to see(not hear) is a ruth­less assault on mass killers many of whom have exe­cut­ed sev­er­al inno­cent peo­ple and have paid no price.
This would require lead­er­ship and there is real­ly no seri­ous lead­er­ship at the top of the Constabulary.
What we see com­ing from the top lead­er­ship is the same old boot-lick­ing bull­shit which has char­ac­ter­ized pre­vi­ous police com­mis­sion­ers tenure.
The first order of busi­ness is that offi­cers must know that when they go out to enforce the laws they have the full back­ing of the law in car­ry­ing out their duties.
That includes sup­port from the Government, the Chief con­sta­ble and the police federation.

The Commissioner of Police acknowl­edges the threat lev­els against offi­cers and offers his full sup­port for offi­cers who take action to pro­tect their lives from vicious crim­i­nal assault.
When has Commissioner Williams or the Officer Corps of the JCF ever stood with offi­cers being per­se­cut­ed by the Government through (inde­com)?
The threat to police though real and ever present is not con­fined to offi­cers being shot down sim­ply because they are offi­cers. It is inher­ent every­day in the sim­plest inter­ac­tions they have each day in the pur­suit of their duties.
In no oth­er coun­try but Jamaica would a motor­cy­clist kill a cop ‚sev­er­ing one of his legs after ram­ming him when sig­naled to stop and seri­ous leg­is­la­tion not be enact­ed to make sure it does not hap­pen again.
In Jamaica it’s noth­ing , just anoth­er dead cop.
Cops are assault­ed and the crowds laugh and the per­pe­tra­tor walks away free as a bird.
Officer takes action he faces crim­i­nal charges.

This is the real Jamaica , not the con­trived Jamaica they show to the world in the tourist board repet­i­tive ads. Our coun­try is not get­ting bet­ter it is slid­ing fur­ther and fur­ther into anarchy.
The first step toward stop­ping the destruc­tion of our coun­try is remov­ing the crim­i­nal­ly cor­rupt admin­is­tra­tion from power .
