Put political differences aside to save T&T

by

20140115

For the past eight years I have been plead­ing in this space with the Gov­ern­ment and the Op­po­si­tion to put aside their po­lit­i­cal dif­fer­ences and unite in a mean­ing­ful man­ner to put the crim­i­nal el­e­ments on the run.Ex­cept for spo­radic oc­ca­sions, main­ly through the leg­is­la­ture, when the op­po­si­tion would vote in favour of some of the mea­sures put for­ward by the Gov­ern­ment to tack­le the crime spree in T&T, this com­ing to­geth­er to de­feat one com­mon en­e­my has large­ly been ig­nored.

This is why last week I hap­pi­ly read a despatch from Cara­cas, where the Pres­i­dent of Venezuela, recog­nis­ing the dan­ger that was be­ing wrought on the coun­try by the crim­i­nals where mur­ders have been on the rise, have agreed to tem­porar­i­ly for­get their po­lit­i­cal dif­fer­ences and unite in or­der to save their coun­try from go­ing un­der due to the ram­pag­ing crim­i­nals.

Their unit­ed at­tack on the sav­age brig­ands was trig­gered by the na­tion­al out­rage fol­low­ing the mur­der of a for­mer beau­ty queen and her hus­band.

How much more sav­age can our home-bred mur­ders be­come as they suc­cess­ful­ly pros­e­cute their seem­ing­ly un­bri­dled mur­der­ous at­tacks on men, women and chil­dren be­fore Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and leader of the loy­al op­po­si­tion Dr Kei­th Row­ley fol­low suit and hold reg­u­lar brain­storm­ing ses­sions on deal­ing with these heart­less vagabonds who are mak­ing no dis­tinc­tions in ex­e­cut­ing their tar­gets at will?
