Once again I have to vent about the lack of positive action, or I should say any action, by the relevant authority to deal with the vagrancy problem in Port-of-Spain. Apart from them bursting open garbage bags looking for a meal and littering the country on a daily basis, yesterday I saw a naked vagrant sitting in the middle of lower St Vincent Street masturbating at 8 o'clock in the morning–in the heart of the city in broad daylight!
What has this country become? Is it possible to degenerate further? Do those in authority really care or is it that they simply do not know how to deal with the problem? Who's portfolio does this fall under? Is it the mayor? Who is the Minister of Vagrancy?To say that these people have a right to live as they please is downright nonsense, so all you human rights activists please, give us a break!
How come we don't see this in the US, Canada, Europe or even in other Caribbean islands? I am not assuming, I have been there. I'm not saying they don't have vagrants but they deal with them. Why is it we have to be in the news for all the wrong reasons?People, you all not getting fed up with this?
