Disgustingly , yet not surprisingly ‚with the wave of abductions, rapes, and killing of women and young girls across the Island, the People’s National Party is focused on what they solely care about, acquiring state power.
While many Jamaicans are focused on the threat to women and girls , which is in addition to the astronomically high crime rate, the PNP have nothing to offer . Neither in the way of a communiqué in support of the Jamaican people , nor a word of support for the existential fight the country finds itself in against the nation’s criminals.
The PNP is largely responsible for the state in which the country finds itself.
After 14 1⁄2 unbroken years of Michael Manley , PJ Patterson and Portia Simpson Miller it was anything was anything on crime.
Now the same group of dirty thieving old bastards are once again lining up, hoping to once again be allowed to do more harm.
They were busily engaged in the sickeningly rapacious process of positioning themselves in the quest for state power.
On the other hand ‚Andrew Holness the Island’s Prime Minister held a press conference flanked by his national security team. Holness declared that the time for talking is over.
The Attorney General Marlene Malahoo Forte fearful of backlash from criminal rights , the bar association, the opposition party and the village lawyers said quote.
“I understand that many people are going to jump up and start talking about what is and what isn’t … . We have taken the time to ensure that what we are doing fits within our legal and constitutional framework.”
“Be at ease. It doesn’t matter how tough any measure that is announced sounds. We are ensuring that those measures comply with the Constitution and the laws of Jamaica.”
The fact that Malahoo Forte had to delve into that level of preemptive insulation, speaks to the level of support criminals have in the country.
Nevertheless I am a tad perplexed at the Prime Minister and his team.
On the one hand the PM said the measures were not a knee-jerk reaction to the spate of domestics killings in recent weeks, but are initiatives that have been under consideration for some time.
While simultaneously admitting that by virtue of what has happened over the past few weeks, we feel that this is the right time to bring this to the public.
Oh well , whatever .….

What took the Prime Minister so long to realize that the country is in trouble?
From her words and deeds his wife, freshman Member of parliament Juliette certainly gets it.
Did the Prime Minister actually naively believe that his stated goal of bringing prosperity to the country was going to happen amidst the carnage?
Surely the PM must have known, must have had the most basic of understanding that solely on the face of it crime robs the country of hundreds of millions of US dollars each year right off the bat.
This comes in the form of loss of investments and tourism dollars which would have been pouring into the country were government able to root out crime by adopting serious anti crime measures.
Clearly the Prime Minister must have the most basic understanding , or must have read it someplace that crime thrives when Governments lack the spinal fortitude to effectively place a boot heel on its neck.
Surely the PM must have know that criminals watch to see what the government will allow .
Seriously, what are the talking heads going to do if you fucking repeal the INDECOM act ‚redo it then re authorize it?
What are they going to do if the government send the police out to get the killers and bring them to justice or bring justice to them (their choice)?
You know what, that’s called leadership, the shitheads who sit and pontificate about human rights are not burying any dead children or other loved ones.
These assholes are not being murdered, their little girls are not being raped and mutilated.
Its about time that these people are told to shut the fuck up and if they don’t they should be made to shut the fuck up, (their choice).
This is a sliding scale of what will happen in our country.
The government is doing a lot of talking and not much else. This problem in our country will not be fixed with platitudes and niceties.
It will be fixed with real tough actions which average Jamaican are yearning for.
As I have said before the people themselves will say when enough is enough.
They are saying so now . Missing this opportunity to act decisively to work on behalf of the people is a gross abdication of the governments responsibility.
Failing to decisively bend this arc is a failure of the administration to fulfill it’s most basic function , which is to protect the people.
