We are afraid of the evil criminals who hold our country to ransom. For decades the situation has continued because our politicians such as Edward Seaga, Bruce Golding and some others have been instrumental in fostering the situation where criminals such as Dudus ( and many others) are used to win votes in election for their constituencies. We Jamaicans know that this is the way things run in Jamaica. We talk about it quietly among ourselves but no one will bring it out into the public arena, because we are all afraid. The media in Jamaica knows this but fears to report the details. We are a nation afraid of itself, living in FEAR and PRETENCE. It is this fear that has defined our culture in recent times. It is the same fear that will eventually consume us, if we don't find the courage to stand up and fight this great evil that threatens to destroy our nation. We must end the PRETENCE and let allow this incident to open our eyes to the stark choices we must now make. FREEDOM or PERPETUAL SLAVERY. It's not so difficult to understand.

But what words can you write when evil, pitiless criminals murder your family because they have GUNS and HATE and you don't? What words can you write as you hurry home from work, quickly to your house so as not to be on the streets after dark for fear of criminals, thugs and rapists? Where are words when gunmen hold you up, take all your money and leave you with a bloody nose ( if you're lucky)? Criminals, mindless thugs, rapists, cut-throats, cold-blooded murders - WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTLESS VICTIMS OF THESE CRIMINALS FROM TIVOLI and elsewhere? I am Jamaican. I am from Tivoli. I grew up in Jungle, Rema, Jones Town... these areas. I grew up there. I know what it's like. This situation cannot be sanitised and mythologised. It is raw, nasty and evil and must stop. The only question is the price we must pay for it to stop... It’s very easy to write words, (no disrespect to anyone).

But I must ask the many who think this is a one way affair.... where are the guns used by these dons and criminal elements coming from? Secondly, have any of you ever heard a mother or sister come out from TG and say my son/brother was not always a good man, and I told him to stop the violence. Time and time again these garrisons cripple our country. Our warm hospitality and culture is no longer revered by the world because of these thugs. The unfortunate thing is, it ripples all across the country I admire the gripping story and the horrifying pictures presented.

The police is there to protect but when there are ROGUE officers who think because they belong to one party they can run a raid anytime they are wrong Thats why there are so many JAMAICANS living abroad this is what they are afraid of Keep writing GOD BLES YOU Thanks for your insight , but this has been happening for years and this is why the people of TG are arming themselves.
