SPANISH TOWN IS an amazingly disturbing place. Every time someone kills a criminal, the town screeches to a halt and buildings burn.
Someone once told me that if you catch a criminal anywhere on the island and look at the back of his head just above the hairline, you just find a stamp saying 'Made in Spanish Town.' I am wondering now how far that really is from the truth, especially in light of the fact that these hardened criminals, once they die, are described as men of peace.
'Bulbie,' a man who police said was worth more than $100 million and who was responsible for more than 100 murders, was described by the people of Spanish Town as a man of peace who helped so many.
Now this other alleged criminal, 'Bun Man,' the reputed leader of the JLP-aligned 'One Order' gang, the man who Babsy Grange openly defended on Nationwide a couple years ago, just days after 'Bubba', the former leader of the 'One Order' gang, was shot dead on Whitehall Avenue, has been shot dead, and we hear, too, that he was a man of peace.
I know that a lot of the people who support these criminals did not go far beyond kindergarten, but they clearly need to learn the difference between violence and peace. If 'Bun Man' was a man of peace, why burn the Spanish Town Courthouse to the ground? If he was a man of peace, why is Spanish Town under curfew? Why are kids unable to go to school?
TIRED OF THE LEECHES
I am sick and tired of all of these unemployed and unemployable people who have no ambition but to live like leeches off the hard working people of society, holding that same society to ransom because one criminal killed another.
And it does not even bother them that money has to be found to replace the courthouse because they don't pay taxes. I don't even believe that they know the meaning of the word tax, except when it comes to the extortion rackets from which they benefit.
These people might be angry because they feel like life has thrown them a curve ball, but do the people realise that their actions make it more difficult for the country to progress? Do they and the politicians that harbour them and feed their habits, realise that they hurt all 2.6 million of us when they do these brainless things in the name of some thug who may have killed more people and fathered more children than his IQ?
I wonder now if Babsy is going to come out and do a Sharon Hay-Webster, saying "This too shall pass." A dumber statement I have never heard with respect to what happened when the people burned PNP flags and T-shirts because 'Bulbie' was killed by police under a PNP regime.
That is probably why people like me will never become prime minister, because there is only one way to deal with these kinds of people. The trouble is when you do, you are branded a tyrant and a dictator.
It sickens me to have to read about these things every day about my country where all the people I care about live and whose lives are affected by these people who, because they refuse to empower themselves, live like parasites off the rest of us.
These things anger me because in my mind I don't see crime as a PNP or JLP thing. Whether they wear green or red, a thug is a thug and the more of them that die, the better it is for those of us who actually work for a living.
