Big business in Jamaica will only understand the seriousness of crime when they lose so significantly it becomes unbearable...murders don't kill some profits, but closing at 2pm for a week because of curfew will...
When people in this country who are not directly affected by crime make the loudest appeals for action they really mean action against THEM not US...wanting to enjoy the SAME life while action is taken against "those people"
So WE must be free to go clubbing, parties, visiting where we so choose because "we're law abiding citizens" and the sec forces "need fi guh run dung DEM and low WE" ...how law abiding are you when you resist the fix YOU demanded?
YOU want curfews, cordons and searches...as long as it doesn't add 30mins on your time, make you feel humiliated to have your vehicle/home stripped etc...after all, "they must know who is criminal vs who work hard fi dem money"...u damn lucky
Every garrison has an entry/exit to an upscale residential or commercial...but YOU SAY "dem mek sure duh dat ah night cah mi have work fi guh...afta mi nuh cayliss bwoy"...I see...guess no "working man" get hol wid guns/drugs inna Ja nuh true?
As for some places of business like Western Union with operators having 20 men/women like parasites outside and inside like a drive thru all day in clear view of all....staff and scammer nuh muss get a circle and all ad dem tek weh same time? Of course, but look who woulda bawl
We talk about the "international bad press" and we make an incident with one tourist more meaningful than 600 people...then we turn around and cuss because people place high value on tourists' safety...is who mek it suh? Nuh media same one?
The irony in that? If every tourist can walk the streets of Jamaica as safe as Jesus in heaven then that must mean all ah we can walk street any weh nuh suh? Or wi vex because "ah white people dem ah defend" when ah WE SAME ONE turn a tourist robbery into a Titanic episode?
It matters not WHO we claim We want to make Ja safe for...tourist, yardie, elderly, young, Christian, sinner, gay, straight or wherever you place them...a safe Ja benefits ALL not just Joe Whitey
And those dunces and despicable lot among us who call 23 hours of the day for action NOW and spending 24 hours of the day putting every negative spin on the action STFU 25 times...you empower the problem every time you feed the agenda
Communities of EVERY TYPE must be prepared to açcept that the SAME WAY you claim "it cannot be business as usual" you must accept when usual business is disrupted, delayed and in some instances destroyed...
I refuse to the have the shithole lot of you who don't mind if this country sinks beneath the cracks of the earth just so you can reappear tomorrow claiming to be the righteous redeemer who lives while you sip on cheap rum and Campari to fit in
Like so many others who number more away than at home I too could've found comfort in colder climes and stayed from a distance cussing Ja as rubbish shovelling shit and snow running from one of three jobs while crying at night and posting smiling pics by day
But there is NO WAY I am going to see a problem this major being faced with major action and join the propaganda public pit shit postings and positings of those so consumed with personal and political bullshit
Crime is not killing JLP/PNP or NDM...well NDM done dead arredi...it is killing PEOPLE and the sooner we remember it can take ANY ONE OF US even the "well I'm not mixed up in anything like that" set who have relatives/lovers mixed up in shit...the better for all who pretend
You think "gated community" is still some sort of off limits place men fear and mere mortals dare not tread? Wake up and flush your toilet...that smell is not coffee
Let me make sure I say it ...again...ladies, you want to spend 364 days talking about murders of women in Ja and how much you're at risk? Take some time and speak to the deep rooted involvement of women in crime...evil does not discriminate when it comes to collect
When boyfriends/brothers/husbands robbing people drugs, guns and mashing up business but they're buying cars, houses and treating you to luxury...but ah last week dem lef outa dutty...yuh nuh waa KNOW wah kinda man dem REALLY be?
Mothers when you KNOW your sons "give problems" HOW COME you take the $750,000 and new car and furniture and another $500,000 "fi set up ah likkle business" ? U nuh wonda IF or WHEN smaddy ah show up and seh "mama WEH MI MONEY DEH??
As for some who KNOW the life/lifestyle of certain persons and KNOW they are criminals but want to be cute talking about "another set of innocent lives snuffed out, crime is..." shut up...you're only lucky dem neva call YOUR name while dem alive
We must reach a stage in Jamaica by any means necessary for criminals to feel 99% risk...if there is no risk taxi man can flaunt law in the presence of police and gunman will think shooting a man in public is certain death...where there is no risk anarchy becomes king
People must be afraid to litter and bus man fraid fi stop inna miggle road...if you cannot assume public order with small things...which WE have allowed to run amok...we shouldn't be surprised at levels of crime
We must stop this politically correct way to hop bandwagon protecting lawbreakers in the name of runnings, hustlings and poor people ting...we are the reason a set of people in Ja see themselves as unworthy of better...we award and reward their resistance to compliance
By the way you set of holy imperial quarts of hypocrisy who scream at a taxi man with 50 unpaid tickets and say he should be in prison...when amnesty full tax office is TAXI MAN ALONE MEK IT RAM FI DAYS?
You who claim how much money govt collect inna few weeks and want to dictate where and how it must be spent...you never think this when you owed for years and paid whole heap ah $$$$ ah tax office? "Law abiding" must not have a hypocrite face...have clean hands
The move to make Ja a better place must be supported by all...not immune from critique, but the negative agenda driven set that don't want it that way must not be allowed to find comfort among those with genuine concern...mi nuh know bout YOU but this is MY Jamaica
ANYTHING that is positive, good and meaningful to make things better tomorrow mi inna dat...so if you have a voice and concerns remember to also have voice to encourage change...while you drink wine today remember your children will grow up 1 day in this country...now or never
