my concern will always be- our territory is small yet so many guns what is being done to fix the rising gun crime
police road blocks are needed
Done forget along time ago they kill a woman in her house who use to live on the side of Mr olver gorges down town.
She like fast money so that’s what comes with it, that’s what she sign up for
That’s kinda rude for the bereaved family
The lady one son they took 1 day shy his bro 15th anniversary.
Can one imagine the grief?
Only when it hits home then and only then one can truly understand.
Nobody care about j*** she was not the only one he with
Heres an idea invest in bullet proof police vehicles & helmets. Strategically position mobile units according to the publics security. Make committing murder a suicide mission.
Now a days when there's a murder its in a busy area from cappons bay, to machine gun fire at fish bay. Its sad that child got killed in the vicinity of west station 'the one that covers all of west area' yet no arrest.
One man already got shot by a stray bullet in huntums ghut could have be anyone or their child. Innocent man down.
What are we going to do if one of those gun man turn crazy as up in the states. we as a community are not ready for a active shooter situation.
Im starting to believe legislation should be past that citizen can be armed as in Trinidad, because we have this security situation as a joke. The murders have it too easy thats why they keep doing it. They get away clean & unhurt to the point that we see from shorty's killing young men going into the field of hired assassins.
When you've got hired assassins' in this once peaceful country, and wanabe gas station robbery kids with AKs that's probably time to let the ordinary citizens register for their own firearm. Seriously if police can not protect us law makers you need to make the change. 2 inch blade thing is no deterrence.
Even the people round these victims aint ready either. Most probably are just hustlers not deranged criminals. The dude that got lured to & killed at brandywine bay what did the killer say when charged "he was between my money". These guys are sick they will make it up in their twisted minds how people wrong them to justify taking another persons life.
People getting killed for near worthless paper.
Everyone has two sides hardly anyone is all bad all the time. We cant stay silent because of who its happening to.
When are we going to start questioning what is funding these lifestyles and "entrepreneurs"? Tackle at the root rather than after each murder. Come on police, investigate source of funds or build a team able to.
Really sad for the children.
Ayo always worried about the wrong &f**@! Nothing positive to say? Go mind the business that pays y'all! Ayo does can't wait for something bad to happen to come on here and talk all kinda thing!
