JACKASS SEY DI worl' no level. Jackass sey nuff time a de wrang smaddy dead, if smaddy haffi dead.
Okay, so this is Jamaica, where people die "very regular", as a certain actor and comedian would say. We have got to the stage where it is as expected as the sunrise that somebody will die in very bloody fashion and it will be carried on the news.
Of course, we don't want anybody to die by violent means or through an accident. But it has occurred to Jackass that if somebody has to die, quite a few times it is the wrong person who kicks the bucket -loudly.
Check it. A car is going along the highway, the driver obeying all the rules of the road and being as careful as can be. He or she has never even had a traffic ticket. Then along comes a madman, hustling to get somewhere now that he should have been three hours ago, or thinking only of the next $50 he can hustle down the road. He pulls out into the right lane and 'press gas', grinning as he 'tek dung' one car, two SUVs, a truck, three bikes and a donkey cart.
The next thing is the news report. "Mr. Clarke's motor car collided with a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction. He died on the spot. The driver of the other vehicle, popularly known as 'Mad Puss', is in hospital in serious but stable condition."
There is nobody to take care of Mr. Clarke's family, now that he is gone. His children have no father, his partner has no spouse, and all he was trying to do was get home to them and hug them all.
The story, of course, does not report how Mad Puss flashed his headlights at Mr. Clarke, commanding him to get out of the way, and how Mr. Clarke went over and over to his left until he could not go over any more, then the impact.
Jackass firmly believes that Mad Puss should have been splattered all over the highway, while Mr. Clarke takes visits from his family in the hospital.
Then there is the case of robberies. Jackass firmly believes that gunmen should get gunshot. After all, if they like it so much then heck, give it to them. But no, that is not how some people see it. They would prefer for the general public to be exposed to the gunman's tender mercies ("yu want it inna yu head or yu belly?") and then yell that the police should not put it on on the perpetrator.
So Jackass believes that the defenders of gunmen should be the ones to get gunshot. But no, they never do. They live to defend another and another and yet another murderer, while the public at large supplies the bodies for him to be defended against. Jackass firmly believes that those who love gunmen should help them to add to their catalogue of duppies by sticking their heads out at the appropriate time and place.
One of the reasons why Jamaica is getting crazier is that the wrong people are dying. Look how many damn fools and wicked people there are to go down and to get rid of, yet many times it is the decent, well-thinking people who are biting the dust.
