The People Are Clamoring For Decisive Action On Crime, Holness Miss This Opportunity To His Detriment…

mb

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 12 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.
