Been saying this years now. We have a culture of crime in this country. No government could fix it unless they confront the culture.

How Kartel and Buju could still sell out concert here when they were in jail on serious crimes? How one of we biggest alcohol company could endorse Kartel just a couple weeks after he is freed from a murder charge? How Ralph and Irfaan could embrace Kartel so publicly? Did the Jamaican PM embrace him at anytime?

The caribbean needs to reset this culture that we love to promote.

That's funny how you went so far to relate to kartel. Let's take a more local example. If I can recall abu bakr was friends with Manning and Rowley

Cartel and Buju are the least of our worries now. The Zesser culture took root during C19 lockdown.

In all fairness I know middle aged people like myself, gainfully employed who does take een a lil Kartel and the like. I didn't even know about Trinidad until kamla mentioned them on stage and I looked into it. Youths have some hard gun tunes but neither me or anyone else in my age group looking to start a 'rifle war ' lol
Problem is bad parenting and ghetto culture, not ghetto music and not separating fantasy from reality.

I could listen a lil kmansixx now and a lil Blake Shelton after. Yeah I weird like that

The baddest man to walk on this Earth said this my brother;

Yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata
Abhythanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham
Translated:
Whenever there is decay of righteousness, O Bharata,
And there is exaltation of unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth

The spark of divinity is within us all.At some point you have to stand up for something, or fall for everything.

I pray that the senseless culture of unwarranted violence never knocks on anybody's door here.

The Hindu concept of God does not need followers.
This is a concept that the Abrahamic religions don't seem to understand.

I agree, but only a responsible and competent person should be given the means to do so.

So since that's your opinion Max, lemme ask u dis

A vene trafficker who bringing illegal weapons into this country that will kill dozens of law abiding Trinbagonian citizens.

In your opinion

Do we deport these wannabe transnational black market arms dealers, or hang them high immediately upon conviction in public for their roles in the deaths of our people?

I personally would drop them halfway and let them swim the rest of the way. with one sporting a pair of concrete coated 300 lb lead boots and 6 others in shackles and handcuffs chained to his/her neck.

8,

The Vene trafficker, the Trini that inviting/encouraging/influencing/ working with them and everyone else who is associated and contributes to atrocious crime….i would say hang them high, and also agree with your sinker solution.

Vene or Trini, i am not supporting any murdering, raping and robbing…..deal with them humanely, preferably inhumanely.

For the illegal Vene who is here genuinely fleeing for an economic crisis and just trying to provide for their family and also do good and honest work…..i don’t want to hear anything. Leave them. And thats my opinion…nobody perfect, sue me. I already supporting the deadly force for anyone outside that bracket.

The Telegraph (UK)

The gang who shot up Anisa Rampersad’s home just after midnight could barely see in the pitch dark. With the firepower they had, they didn’t need to. In 60 seconds, they fired 53 rounds from three weapons, riddling her wooden shack with bullets. By the time they fled, four of her five children were dead.

“I woke up to loud explosions, and saw my older daughter’s room lighting up with sparks from the bullets,” Rampersad, 40, recalls. “We still don’t know why they came; people spread stories, but we weren’t involved in anything – no drugs, guns, nothing.”

The massacre in Arima, Trinidad – a satellite town of Trinidad and Tobago’s capital, Port of Spain – is part of an epidemic of gun violence that has swept what was once a Caribbean idyll. It is fuelled by a toxic mix of gangs, the drugs trade and the proliferation of high-powered firearms.

That whole Arima to Valencia stretch is full of gang activity. Kidnapping/rape/extortion you name it. The problem is that they have the support of the degenerates in the area. Sixx for life and whatnot.
There needs to be a serious culling of the herd.
