Jamaican Till I Die!

I do not like crime or criminals but I understand certain crimes and criminals. I understand gang violence and I understand financial related crimes. I do not like it and do not want any crime or criminality around me but I can put certain crimes into perspectives. Up until now on hearing a report of a crime against some person, I would say, "something in a something". A person got caught up in some under the table, dodgy dealings with the wrong person and met some sort of retribution as a result. However, when it comes to crimes against children and old people, I am at a lost because I do not understand it and I cannot frame it into context or perspective. I am totally confused by it because I do not know what is gained from it and can only conclude that mental illness is more rampant among the Jamaican population than was previously thought. It is like they wake up every morning and drink "mad-puss-piss". This is nothing but a cold, callous disregard for th...

Jamaicans follow their local crime season like how the English football fans follow the English Premiere League Football season. We even try to keep daily scores while informing anyone who would listen of the latest murder score/rate, did you hear…. 6 dead in St. James, 8 dead in Spanish Town, 5 Dead in West Kingston… This goes on and on until the end of the season when the grand total is announced and we compare it to murders of seasons past.   … 1583, 1618, 1683 , 1428, 1124, 1087, 1198….. One would think that if Jamaica was under attack and it is, from our Home Grown Terrorist, … that a bipartisan consensus on crime coupled with a joint unified statement from the political class outlining their plan of attack on the criminal elements within our society and a support for the concept of us law abiding Jamaicans against them, the murdering criminals, would have been the strong natural reaction to this daily barbaric onslaught on the Jamaican people. But inste...

Cry Havoc and Unleash the Dogs of War!! It seems the only “Short Term” solution to Jamaica’s crime problem is to continue/restart the 2010 Dudus levels of policing because certain areas in Jamaica need to be under constant nightly lock down, curfews every night for the next couple of months or years, house to house searches, street check points and detention of suspected criminals. The situation in Jamaica demands that we change our tactics to a “ Get Tough on Crime ” tactic. This is the only thing the criminals within our society seem to understand and respect. The Government should implement a constant State of Emergency as certain areas requires Marshall Law type suppression. Everyone needs to understand that “ if you want good… you nose a fi run ” and you cannot make an omelette without breaking a few eggs, thus in the short term some good must suffer for the bad, the few over the many, until the good turns on the bad and hand them over, give them up. Yes poverty is a majo...
